Anxiety & Stress
Find your footing with compassionate, evidence-based support
Anxiety can be overwhelming—whether it’s a persistent feeling of unease, racing thoughts, or a general sense that something’s “off.” For many people, anxiety shows up in ways that interfere with daily life: trouble sleeping, difficulty focusing, irritability, or a constant state of worry.
Our team understands how deeply anxiety can affect your sense of self and your relationships. We offer a warm, collaborative, and personalized approach to help you explore what’s driving your anxiety and develop tools to manage it—without judgment and at a pace that feels safe.
What Does Anxiety Feel Like?
Anxiety can be a response to stress, trauma, life transitions, or sometimes it just shows up without a clear reason. Some common experiences include:
Excessive worry or overthinking
Trouble sleeping or relaxing
Physical symptoms like chest tightness or a racing heart
Avoidance of people, places, or situations
Feeling “on edge” or like something bad is going to happen
No matter how anxiety shows up for you, you don’t have to face it alone.
Simple Ways to Soothe Anxiety Right Now
While therapy can provide long-term relief, here are a few things you can do immediately to help calm your system:
Step outside. A short walk, fresh air, or simply looking at nature can regulate your nervous system.
Move your body. Light exercise—stretching, yoga, dancing, or jogging—can help release built-up tension.
Reach out. Talking to a trusted friend or loved one can break the cycle of rumination and help you feel less alone.
Prioritize rest. Sleep is essential to managing anxiety. A consistent bedtime, screens off before bed, and calming rituals can support better rest.
Try a relaxation technique. Practice slow, deep breathing (in for 4 counts, out for 6), or try a grounding exercise like the 5-4-3-2-1 method (naming 5 things you can see, 4 you can touch, etc.).
These strategies may not solve the root cause, but they can help you feel a little more in control—right now.
Our Approach to Anxiety Therapy
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Your experience with anxiety is unique, and our work together will reflect that. Depending on your needs, we may draw from:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build practical skills for managing overwhelming emotions, increasing distress tolerance, and improving relationships
Mindfulness-based techniques to anchor you in the present
Relational and Trauma-Informed work to explore deeper roots and build emotional safety
Strength-based approaches to reinforce what’s already working for you
Whether your anxiety is connected to past experiences, current stressors, or a mix of both, our goal is to help you feel more grounded and empowered in your life.
