Anxiety & Panic Treatment
Anxiety has a way of making everything feel urgent, heavy, or just slightly out of control—even when nothing is technically wrong. Maybe you worry about everything but can't always explain why. Maybe you've started avoiding situations that used to feel normal, or you lie awake replaying conversations and imagining everything that could go wrong.
Anxiety isn't something you should have to simply push through. Therapy can help you understand what's driving the worry, recognize the patterns that keep it going, regulate your nervous system, and develop healthier ways to respond when anxiety shows up.
What Anxiety Can Look Like
Anxiety doesn’t always look the way people expect. It isn’t always panic attacks or obvious fear. For a lot of people — especially women and adolescents/teens — anxiety can show up more quietly:
- Constant worry that’s hard to turn off, even when things are fine
- Physical symptoms — tension, headaches, a tight chest, trouble sleeping
- Irritability or feeling on edge for no clear reason
- Avoiding people, places, or situations to keep anxiety at bay
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Panic attacks — sudden waves of intense fear, racing heart, or shortness of breath
- Feeling like you need to be in control of everything just to feel okay
- Social anxiety — dreading interactions, replaying what you said, assuming the worst
If any of that sounds familiar, anxiety therapy can help — and you don’t need to be in crisis to reach out.
Anxiety - How Therapy Works
I use a combination of therapeutic approaches tailored to what's actually driving your anxiety rather than applying the same treatment plan to everyone. Depending on your needs and experiences, our work may draw from:
Understanding Anxious Thought Patterns
Anxiety can be fueled by patterns like catastrophizing, overthinking, perfectionism, or assuming the worst. We’ll work on recognizing those patterns, understanding how they affect your emotions and behavior, and developing more grounded ways of responding when anxious thoughts take over.
Building Skills for Intense Anxiety
When anxiety spikes, it can be difficult to think clearly or know what to do next. We’ll build practical skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and responding differently when anxiety, panic, irritability, or fear starts to feel overwhelming.
Understanding Anxiety in the Body
Anxiety doesn’t just happen in the mind—it often shows up in the body through tight shoulders, a clenched jaw, shallow breathing, restlessness, or other physical signs of stress. We’ll work on becoming more aware of these responses, regulating your nervous system, and developing a greater sense of safety and control in your body.
