Learn to calm anxiety and trust yourself again
Anxiety can show up as racing thoughts, tightness in the chest, difficulty sleeping, irritability, or a sense of always being “on.”
For many people, it’s not just one anxious moment — it’s a pattern that settles into the body over time.
You may notice:
Overthinking and second-guessing yourself
Feeling overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities
Avoiding situations that feel too activating
Struggling to relax, even during downtime
Anxiety isn’t a flaw or weakness. Often, it’s a nervous system that learned to stay alert to survive.

Anxiety Therapy That Supports Safety, Understanding, and Change
We use an integrative approach to anxiety therapy, drawing from somatic therapy, CBT, DBT, and ACT to support both immediate relief and long-term change.
Somatic Therapy – Learn to calm your nervous system, reduce physical tension, and feel more grounded in your body when anxiety shows up.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Understand and shift anxious thought patterns so worry has less control over your day-to-day life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – Build practical skills to manage intense emotions, tolerate distress, and respond more effectively in moments of overwhelm.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – Develop a healthier relationship with anxious thoughts while staying connected to your values and what matters most to you.
We offer both in-person and virtual therapy options.
If you’re interested in starting, please contact the therapist you feel drawn to—each therapist manages their own consultations and scheduling.
