Anxiety

In relationships, you bend over backward to keep the peace, often saying yes when you want to say no and then beating yourself up for it later. You hold back your true feelings because you’re scared of being too much or not enough. You give and give until you feel resentful, but then blame yourself for being ungrateful. With friends and family, you’re always scanning the room, trying to keep the peace. You take responsibility for everyone else’s mood, bending yourself into knots so no one feels upset with you. Deep down, you wonder if people actually see you or only the version of you that works so hard to keep everyone else happy. And then there’s the voice in your head: the relentless inner critic that says you’re failing, that you don’t measure up, that if people really knew you, they’d leave or not love you. That voice leaves you doubting your worth, questioning your choices, and replaying every conversation long after it’s over.

Even rest feels impossible and guilt floods in when you try to slow down.

On the outside, you’re calm and composed. Yet, on the inside, anxiety, guilt, and loneliness never stop pressing in. You’ve tried therapy before, hoping for quick relief, but it felt surface-level or too short-lived. You have been constantly wondering if real change is even possible. Therapy takes time, safety, and the right relationship to truly shift long-standing patterns. My role is to meet you exactly where you are, with validation for your pain and tools that help you reclaim your voice. You deserve more than just surviving. You deserve to feel safe, seen, and enough. Because you’ve landed here, I know that your invisible scars, relationship wounds, or the exhaustion of constantly striving has been weighing you down. But those scars can be hard to recognize, especially when they’re wrapped in the day-to-day realities of adulthood. If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to keep carrying this weight by yourself. Healing the narratives that have gotten in the way and kept you stuck isn’t about blaming the past. It’s about recognizing the patterns that have held you back, letting go of what no longer serves you, and making room for something better. It’s about grieving what you didn’t get so you can finally receive what you’ve always needed.

If you’ve tried therapy before and it felt too surface-level or short-lived, you’re not alone. Healing anxiety takes more than coping skills. It requires time, safety, and the right relationship. As an anxiety therapist, my role is to meet you exactly where you are, with compassion for your pain and practical tools to help you begin to heal. Together, we’ll work to quiet the inner critic, reconnect you to your needs, and help you feel safe enough to rest. You deserve more than just surviving—you deserve to feel grounded, confident, and connected.

Here’s what I want you to know: the version of you that’s constantly hustling, doubting yourself, and saying yes when you want to say no is not the truest version of you. Counseling can offer the safe, supportive space that you’ve been craving, one where your voice matters, your needs are valid, and healing is possible.

The anxiety you carry didn’t appear overnight. It’s often rooted in old stories about what it means to be good, worthy, or lovable. Therapy helps you recognize those patterns, grieve what you didn’t get, and make room for the life you’ve been craving. You don’t have to carry the weight alone anymore. If this sounds familiar, take this as your sign that change is possible. You’ve already done something brave by looking for anxiety therapy, now let’s take the next step together.

You can expect to be challenged gently but consistently, supported in ways that let you try out new patterns without fear of being criticized, supported in practicing boundaries even when feelings of guilt make it hard. Most importantly, you can expect that this work will not only help you manage your stress and anxiety but also help you reconnect with yourself, so you can show up in your life with more authenticity, energy, and ease.
