Helping You Find the Root of Your Anxiety

young person
Anxiety is something we all experience—it’s your body’s way of saying, “Hey, something needs attention!” In small doses, it helps keep us alert and ready for life’s challenges. But when anxiety starts to rule your thoughts, emotions, and day-to-day life, it can feel overwhelming and leave you stuck. That’s when it might be time to reach out for help.

I’m here to help you uncover the real sources of your anxiety and guide you back to a place of calm and confidence. By exploring your past experiences and current stressors together, we’ll create a personalized plan that empowers you to take control and navigate life with a renewed sense of ease.

How Anxiety Impacts Your Life

Anxiety isn’t just a mental state—it can touch every part of your life. Maybe you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or find that the things you once enjoyed don’t bring you the same joy anymore. You might notice your mind racing with “what ifs” or feel tense around people you care about. These signs can show up as:

  • Constant worry or a nagging feeling that something bad is always about to happen.
  • Difficulty concentrating at work or school.
  • Feeling on edge, irritable, or restless, even with those closest to you.
  • Physical symptoms like trouble sleeping, a racing heart, sweating, trembling, or shortness of breath.

When these symptoms start to get in the way of work, relationships, or simply enjoying life, it’s a sign that you might need a little extra support.

Unlock Effective Strategies: How I Can Help You Manage Anxiety

When we work together, my goal is to help you understand your anxiety and equip you with tools that truly fit your life. We’ll start by tuning into the signals your body sends—those moments when your heart races or your mind can’t slow down. Recognizing these cues is the first step in taking back control.


Here’s how we’ll do it:

Identifying Triggers

We’ll pinpoint the situations or thoughts that ramp up your anxiety, so you can learn to manage them before they take over.

Building Awareness

You’ll learn how to listen to your body’s subtle messages. Once you’re aware, you can choose strategies to ease the tension.

Learning Coping Tools

Together, we’ll explore practical, evidence-based techniques—like grounding exercises, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral strategies—to help you handle anxiety in the moment.

Healing at the Root

If your anxiety runs deep, possibly linked to past trauma, we’ll consider approaches like EMDR, Constructed Awareness or Polyvagal Theory to address the underlying causes rather than just the symptoms.
My aim isn’t just to help you “cope” with anxiety—it’s to empower you to truly manage it so you can live life on your terms.

When Is It Time to Get Help?
