You might be constantly thinking, overanalyzing, or getting pulled into “storylines” — replaying what already happened or trying to predict what might. The worry never ends.
Or you might be the one everyone leans on — the one who keeps things together — and it’s starting to feel like there’s nothing left for you.

When anxiety starts to take over
Everyone experiences anxiety from time to time.
But when it becomes constant, overwhelming, or hard to control, it can start to affect almost every part of your day.
Many people describe it as feeling “on edge” — like your mind is always scanning for something that might go wrong.
Over time, your nervous system can get stuck in a cycle of worry, tension, and physical stress.
This might feel familiar
feeling a constant sense of dread or worry, even during everyday moments
feeling anxious without a clear reason, but not able to “turn it off”
irritability, tension, or restlessness that makes it hard to relax
difficulty concentrating because your mind keeps racing
getting stuck in loops of overthinking or trying to figure things out
trouble falling asleep — or waking up in the middle of the night with anxious thoughts
physical symptoms like a racing heart, tight chest, dizziness, or sweaty palms
sudden waves of intense fear or panic attacks
You’re not the only one
These experiences are incredibly common — but that doesn’t make them any less exhausting.
Over time, anxiety can take a toll on your energy, your focus, and your ability to feel present in your own life.
When anxiety overlaps with other patterns
Sometimes people who struggle with persistent worry or racing thoughts later discover that what they’re experiencing is connected to intrusive thoughts or OCD.
The two can look very similar on the surface.
Understanding the difference is an important step in finding the kind of support that actually helps.
Finding relief from anxiety & burnout
Anxiety is something we can work with — not something you have to keep fighting on your own.
And if you’ve been carrying too much for too long, what you’re feeling may not just be anxiety — it may also be burnout.
That kind of exhaustion doesn’t come from nowhere.
It comes from holding a lot, thinking a lot, caring a lot… often without enough space to slow down or reset.
As someone who has experienced anxiety firsthand, I understand how convincing anxious thoughts can feel — and how easy it is to get pulled into them.
Therapy gives us a place to slow things down and actually make sense of what’s happening underneath it.
Not just managing symptoms — but understanding the patterns that are keeping your mind and nervous system stuck in overdrive.
In our work together, we focus on:
learning ways to calm your system in the moment
understanding the patterns and “storylines” that drive anxiety
untangling the mental loops that keep pulling you back in
responding differently to stress, uncertainty, and overwhelm
building trust in your ability to handle difficult thoughts and emotions
understanding how the environment you grew up in may have shaped how your mind responds to stress and uncertainty
Many clients begin to feel some relief fairly quickly — not because everything is suddenly gone, but because things start to make more sense and feel more manageable.
And over time, that constant pressure begins to ease.
You don’t have to keep living in a state of tension, overthinking, or exhaustion.
It’s possible to feel steadier, clearer, and more like yourself again.
This may be a good fit if you:
feel like your mind is always “on” and hard to quiet
find yourself stuck in overthinking or “storylines”
feel overwhelmed, burned out, or like you’re carrying too much
have tried to manage anxiety on your own, but still feel stuck
want something deeper than just surface-level coping strategies
