Anxiety
Learn to overcome life stressors and heal your anxiety
Anxiety is incredibly valid. You don’t have to face your anxiety alone.
Anxiety can infiltrate our lives at any moment, triggered by stress, life changes, health concerns, or unexpected events, radically altering our daily existence. These situations can make us feel like we’re barely keeping our head above a sea of anxiety, some of which we’ve been suppressing for what feels like lifetimes.
At some point in our lives, most of us will experience overwhelming anxiety – for many, it may happen frequently – and the intensity of these feelings can catch us off guard at the most unexpected times. The path to overcoming anxiety and understanding our emotions is challenging. If you find yourself constantly thinking, “I’m so anxious. I can’t relax. I’m tired all the time,” you’ve come to the right place.
Understanding Anxiety
Living in constant survival mode, whether for months or years, is exhausting and impacts every facet of our lives – especially our relationships with those closest to us.
When you’re ready to confront these feelings and initiate change, I’m here to guide you through the obstacles and setbacks. Together, we’ll adopt a holistic approach, integrating strategies for the mind, body, and spirit.
Battling anxiety is draining. It’s an unending conflict with a multitude of emotions, making every day an unpredictable rollercoaster. Some mornings, the anxiety feels paralyzing, sparked by the simplest triggers. Other days, irritability takes over, with even minor irritations setting you off – an unexpectedly new expression of frustration.
However, not all days are tough. Some mornings you may wake up feeling unexpectedly light, which might then be shadowed by guilt for not feeling anxious.
It might seem like you’ll never break free from anxiety, as if the good moments are transient, overshadowed by constant reminders or a sense of guilt for feeling okay.
Overcoming anxiety might appear daunting at times, but there is hope. There’s no quick fix, no shortcut through the anxiety, and no lasting way to avoid it. Yet, these overwhelming feelings are not eternal. But to move beyond them, you must confront them.
The best way to tackle your anxiety is to discuss these feelings in a space where vulnerability is not only allowed but encouraged. In that secure environment, you can share the hardest parts of your anxiety and how it’s turned your life upside down.
Anxiety Therapy: A Path to Wellness
When anxiety becomes overwhelming, it hijacks our ability to think clearly and rationally. It’s crucial to address these moments by reconnecting with our senses and discussing our anxiety. By establishing a sense of safety and emotional stability, we can better understand the origins, timing, and manifestations of our anxiety. This newfound understanding allows us to put our fears of making mistakes, causing harm, being misunderstood, or feeling isolated into perspective. As we develop empathy for these fears and associated emotions, we uncover more effective coping strategies. In this journey of understanding, we may even uncover underlying emotions like sadness or anger, and identify a protective instinct at the root of our fears. Let’s embark on this process of self-discovery together!
How It Works
As an Integrative Mental Health Practitioner, my approach is holistic, focusing on nurturing both the mind and body. During our sessions, we’ll explore a tailored blend of strategies designed for your unique situation—incorporating nutrition, movement, mindfulness practices, and other holistic modalities. I believe in the power of these interventions to address anxiety not just symptomatically but at its roots.
Our time together will be collaborative and adaptive, evolving as your needs and circumstances do.
We’ll start by building a comprehensive understanding of your lifestyle, dietary habits, physical activity levels, and existing coping mechanisms.
From there, I’ll provide personalized recommendations that might include dietary adjustments to support mental health, specific exercises to reduce anxiety, and mindfulness techniques to increase your resilience against stress.
Remember, healing is not a linear process, and making small, incremental changes can lead to significant improvements over time.
Whether you’re dealing with daily anxieties or more profound emotional challenges, I’m here to support you every step of the way, empowering you with tools and knowledge to cultivate a balanced, healthier life.

When anxiety begins to take over and overwhelm us, it cuts off our ability to think clearly and logically. These are the moments when it becomes crucial to open up about our anxiety and reconnect with our senses. By establishing a sense of safety and emotional stability, we can start to unravel the origins, timing, and manifestations of our anxiety. Understanding these aspects allows us to put our fears of making mistakes, causing harm, being misunderstood, or feeling isolated into perspective.

By addressing the most challenging aspects of your anxiety, you’ll find it becoming more manageable over time. Healing takes patience, but you will begin to forge a new normal.
