What to Expect in Anxiety Therapy

​

How can you enjoy your time with family when your brain is yelling at you to Google if that funny feeling means you're dying? How can you show up for a friend outing when you're terrified the setting will trigger a panic attack? How can you connect with your partner when you're incredibly dizzy and nauseous? And how can you be fully present in the job you love when your thoughts are moving so fast (or slow) you can't possibly focus? 

​

In today's world, the word "anxiety" is flippantly thrown around, but in reality, anxiety can feel like a vice around your neck, stripping the life out of living. It often shows up in countless physical symptoms, from chest pain to dizziness, to racing thoughts. It makes you want to escape, freeze, and lash out all at the same time, and when anxiety is high, quality of life is almost always low.

​

In anxiety treatment, we first identify your symptoms, and then explore together what the underlying causes of your anxiety are. For some, there may be genetics at play, or a past negative experience. For others, their relationship and/or workplace is the main cause of their distress. Then, we will use a combination of evidence-based treatment strategies (treatments proven effective by research) to reduce anxiety and increase values-based living. These usually involve coping skills, emotional processing, reengaging with avoided behaviors, and diffusing the potency of thoughts. 

​

I truly mean it when I say anxiety levels can drastically improve. I have seen it time and again amongst countless circumstances (yes, even if it's genetic for you). If anxiety is causing you to struggle to engage with your life, reach out today for a consultation and/or appointment.

Compassionate Support for Anxiety Disorders

​

If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety — whether it’s constant worry, sudden waves of panic, or fear around your health — the really good news is there is effective therapy, it just needs to be targeted at your specific symptoms. Anxiety can make everyday life feel exhausting and uncertain, but healing is possible. I offer a warm, safe space where you can begin to gently untangle anxiety’s hold on your life and reconnect with peace, purpose, and self-trust.

​

We offer anxiety therapy in Washington as well as convenient online anxiety therapy, so support is always within reach — wherever you are.

Generalized Anxiety (GAD) Therapy

​

If you live with Generalized Anxiety, your mind may feel like it’s always “on,” spinning through worst-case scenarios or trying to prepare for every possible outcome. This kind of worry can be so draining, and it can prevent you from ever truly relaxing.

​

In our work together, we’ll help you slow down and begin to relate to your thoughts in a new way. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we’ll gently guide you toward noticing anxious thoughts without letting them control your choices. You’ll learn how to stay grounded in what really matters to you, even when anxiety is present. We may also incorporate Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to help you gradually face the situations or thoughts that feel overwhelming — so you can begin to feel safer and more empowered in your daily life.

​

Panic Disorder Treatment

​

Panic attacks are terrifying. The symptoms — racing heart, dizziness, shortness of breath — can come out of nowhere, leaving you scared of when the next one will happen. That fear can start to shrink your world, making you avoid the places or activities you once enjoyed.

​

Together, we’ll create a space where you can gently begin to reclaim your sense of safety and freedom. Through ERP, we’ll gradually explore and face the physical sensations and fears behind panic in a way that feels supportive and manageable — helping your body learn that these sensations aren’t dangerous. With ACT, we’ll also explore how to make room for your emotions without being overwhelmed by them, so you can move forward with more ease and freedom.

​

There is nothing “wrong” with you — your body is trying to protect you. And with new skills and practice, you can feel at home in yourself again.

​

Health Anxiety Treatment

​

When you live with health anxiety, even a small sensation can trigger hours of fear. You might find yourself Googling symptoms late into the night, checking your body repeatedly, or seeking constant reassurance — all in an effort to feel safe. And still, the anxiety returns.

​

I deeply understand how exhausting this cycle can be. Through Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), we’ll work together to gently face those fears without responding in the usual ways that keep the anxiety going. You’ll learn how to sit with uncertainty, trust your body, and shift out of fear-based habits. ACT helps deepen this process by offering tools to hold anxious thoughts with compassion — not by fighting them, but by loosening their grip so you can focus on what truly brings meaning and connection into your life.

​

Soon you'll find yourself trusting your body again and feeling confident in your ability to navigate triggers.
