Anxiety Therapy: Find Relief and Regain Control
Does Anxiety Feel Like It’s Taking Over Your Life?
Anxiety can make even simple decisions feel overwhelming. Your mind races, your chest tightens, and you wonder if you’ll ever feel at peace.
- Do you find yourself overthinking, second-guessing, or worrying about things that may never happen?
- Are life’s responsibilities—career, parenting, relationships—starting to feel unmanageable?
- Do you avoid new experiences or hold yourself back from what you truly want because fear takes over?
Many people with anxiety have been conditioned to people-please, avoid conflict, and prioritize others’ needs over their own. Instead of speaking up, you may find yourself deferring to others, suppressing emotions, or struggling to set healthy boundaries.
👉 If this sounds familiar, therapy can help. Let’s explore how you can break free from fear and start feeling more at ease.
Anxiety Can Affect Your Mind, Body, and Relationships
Anxiety isn’t just worrying—it’s a constant undercurrent of unease that affects multiple areas of life:
- Your Thoughts – Overthinking, self-doubt, fear of failure, catastrophizing
- Your Body – Racing heart, difficulty sleeping, panic attacks, tightness in chest
- Your Relationships – People-pleasing, avoiding conflict, struggling to set boundaries
If left untreated, anxiety can keep you stuck in cycles of avoidance and exhaustion.
Why Do I Feel This Way?
Understanding the Roots of Anxiety
Anxiety doesn’t come out of nowhere—it’s shaped by both past experiences and current stressors.
- Past Experiences: Unprocessed trauma, childhood stress, avoidant coping strategies
- Current Stressors: Political division, social pressure, financial worries, systemic issues
Anxiety also distorts our thinking, making small stressors feel like insurmountable obstacles. Instead of seeing situations clearly, anxiety convinces us that we are alone, inadequate, or unprepared.
The good news? Therapy can help you challenge these beliefs and retrain your brain’s response to fear.
How TherapY helps you break free from anxiety
Therapy gives you the tools to reduce worry, set boundaries, and feel more in control. I take an integrative approach using:
- Psychodynamic Therapy: Understanding the Root Causes of Anxiety
Psychodynamic therapy helps uncover the hidden emotional patterns, unconscious fears, and past experiences that fuel anxiety. Often, our deepest worries and self-doubts stem from early life experiences – whether it’s a childhood marked by high expectations, unstable relationships, or learned patterns of self-protection. gives you the tools to reduce worry, set boundaries, and feel more in control.
By exploring these patterns, we can:
√ Identify the unconscious fears driving your anxiety
√ Work through unresolved emotions that keep you stuck
√ Develop new ways of thinking and responding to stress
- EMDR Therapy: Rewiring Your Brain’s Response to Fear
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful, science-backed approach that helps the brain process unresolved trauma and rewire its response to fear.
If anxiety has kept you stuck in patterns of avoidance, self-doubt, or hypervigilance, EMDR can help you:
√ Desensitize distressing memories and triggers
√ Reduce your body’s automatic “fight-or-flight” response
√ Create a new, healthier relationship with your thoughts and fears
- CBT + Body-Based Techniques: Managing Anxiety in the Present
In addition to psychodynamic and EMDR therapy, I integrate:
√ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Helping you challenge negative thought patterns and build healthier coping skills.
√ Breathing & Meditation Techniques – Teaching you tools to regulate your nervous system when anxiety spikes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Anxiety Therapy
🔹 “Is online therapy as effective as in-person therapy?”
Yes! My clients have had the same positive outcomes through telehealth, with added flexibility and comfort.
🔹 “Will talking about my triggers make things worse?”
No—therapy provides a safe space to explore anxiety at your own pace. You’ll gain self-compassion and tools to feel more in control.
🔹 “How long does anxiety treatment take?”
Every client’s journey is different. Many people benefit from weekly therapy over the course of a year or more to ensure deep, lasting change.
However, for those looking for a more accelerated approach, I also offer EMDR intensives. This can be especially helpful if:
√ You want to make significant progress in a shorter timeframe
√ You’re working through a major life transition or emotional challenge
√ Weekly therapy hasn’t felt fast-paced enough for your needs
With intensive therapy, we meet for longer or more frequent sessions to dive deeper into healing.
