Anxiety is a normal human response to uncertainty, stress, or perceived threat. It can become a problem when worry or fear becomes persistent, difficult to control, or disproportionate to the situation, and begins to interfere with daily life. Anxiety can affect both the mind and body, leading to restlessness, difficulty concentrating, fatigue, muscle tension, irritability, and problems with sleep.

For some people, anxiety may involve persistent worry, overthinking, avoidance, or a heightened sense of being on edge. These symptoms can make it harder to work, maintain relationships, make decisions, or enjoy everyday activities. When anxiety becomes persistent or disruptive, psychotherapy can help you better understand its patterns and develop more effective ways of responding to it.

I provide psychotherapy for anxiety, with treatment tailored to the specific ways anxiety affects each person. Therapy may focus on reducing avoidance, addressing patterns of worry and overthinking, developing greater tolerance for uncertainty, and building skills for responding to anxious thoughts and feelings more effectively.
