Anxiety Therapy

Are you feeling exhausted from constant worry? Noticing physical symptoms like body tension, trouble sleeping, or concentrating? Do you get stuck wondering “what if?” and feel like you are missing out on life experiences? Want to explore ways to address your anxiety and learn tools to feel at ease?

If you can relate, you are not alone. There are millions of people who are struggling with anxiety today in the U.S.. You may be blaming yourself or judging your brain. It can feel unfair when all you want is to feel certain and secure, and it seems like other people feel that way effortlessly. Struggling with making decisions or second-guessing yourself? For many people anxiety manifests as an inner voice reminding them of all the ways things could go wrong. In order to reduce worry, a plan is needed to prepare for the possible worst outcomes. In some cases, this works well and allows for needs to be anticipated and experiences to be enriched. In other cases, it can cause conflict if you get attached to a plan and things change, or your partner or friends don’t follow the expectations you have in your mind. Anxiety can start to take over your life and relationships leaving you frustrated and disconnected. 

Anxiety Can Have a Profound Impact on Your Life.

Not only can anxiety cause relationship problems, but it can also impact work performance. The effort and energy it takes to react to anxious thoughts and “what if’s” can drain you; leaving little creative energy for work. You may find it difficult to concentrate on work projects when your anxiety is activated because your nervous system isn’t functioning in a state conducive to learning or creativity, but instead focuses on survival. This misallocation of energy and nervous system responses can leave you feeling exhausted after a typical day because your body is in overdrive, releasing stress hormones and blocking your ability to rest properly. These impacts add up over time and can lead to chronic issues.
