Understanding Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety is a normal part of life, but when worry becomes constant, overwhelming, or difficult to control, it can interfere with daily functioning, relationships, sleep, and confidence. Anxiety disorders often include both emotional and physical symptoms, such as racing thoughts, tension, restlessness, and difficulty concentrating. With over 28 years of experience, I provide a warm, supportive, and structured approach that blends relational insight with evidence-based CBT strategies. Together, we identify what’s driving the anxiety and build practical tools that help you feel calmer, more grounded, and in control.
Panic Attacks
Panic attacks are sudden surges of intense fear that can feel alarming and overwhelming. Symptoms may include a racing heart, shortness of breath, dizziness, chest tightness, or a sense of losing control. While panic attacks can feel frightening, they are treatable. In therapy, we work to reduce fear, build coping skills, and help your nervous system feel safer and more regulated.
Generalized Anxiety
Generalized anxiety often shows up as persistent worry, overthinking, and difficulty relaxing—even when things seem “fine” on the outside. It can lead to irritability, fatigue, trouble sleeping, and feeling constantly on edge. Therapy can help you understand what’s fueling the worry and shift the patterns that keep anxiety going. With support and practical tools, it becomes possible to feel calmer, clearer, and more confident in daily life.
Anxiety + ADHD
Anxiety and ADHD commonly overlap, especially when executive functioning challenges create stress around time, organization, performance, and follow-through. Many people feel stuck in a cycle of overwhelm, self-doubt, and pressure to “keep up.” Therapy can help you build emotional regulation, strengthen coping skills, and create realistic systems that reduce stress. With the right strategies, you can feel more focused, grounded, and empowered.
