Anxiety Therapy for Women Who Feel Always On
Anxiety can look like overthinking, tightness in your chest, a mind that doesn’t slow down, or the feeling that you’re always bracing for what’s next.
You might be fine on the outside while your inside life feels loud and intense.
In therapy, we’ll work with both the emotional and practical pieces so that you can begin to understand your anxiety and change your relationship to it.
We’ll focus on more than symptom management.
We’ll explore what your anxiety is organized around. Sometimes it’s control, sometimes its approval, or safety, or perfection, or being needed
We’ll look at how that shows up with family, partners, work, friendships, and your relationship with yourself.
I blend talk therapy, EMDR, and body-based work so you can understand what’s happening and build change that you can actually feel
How we’ll work
What it’s like in session
Therapy with me is steady, conversational, and down-to-earth. You don’t need the perfect words or a clean, put-together story. You’re free to show up just as you are.
In sessions, we’ll pay attention to:
what you’re feeling
what your mind is doing
what your body is carrying
We’ll also connect it to what’s happening in your day-to-day and your relationship…
Our patterns don’t usually show up in isolation.
They show up in how you live, with your partner, your family, your friends, your work, even in the way you treat yourself.
Sometimes the work looks like talking it through. Sometimes it looks like slowing down, noticing what your body is holding, and letting your system finally settle. Sometimes EMDR is the right tool for a stuck loop that won’t budge with insight alone.
The point isn’t to fix you. It’s to help you understand and come back to yourself.
Grounded, clear, and free.
What you can expect to shift…
You may find you can calm yourself more easily, feel less reactive, sleep better, and trust yourself more in the moments that used to swallow you.
Therapy can help you feel steadier…
That’s not to say worries won’t come up from time to time, but they’ll no longer consume you.
