Anxiety & Overthinking
Anxiety can show up in many ways — from constant worry and restlessness to racing thoughts, panic, or difficulty sleeping. Using evidence-based strategies like CBT and mindfulness, we’ll work to understand the thoughts and patterns fueling your anxiety and develop tools to calm your body and mind.
Types of Anxiety
Clinical Depression
When sadness, emptiness, or loss of motivation linger and begin to affect daily life, it can feel like a heavy fog that’s hard to lift. In our work together, we’ll use evidence-based tools and reflective insight to help you find clarity, relief, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Grief, Loss & Adjustment to Life Changes
Loss and major life changes—whether expected or not—can stir deep sadness, confusion, or emptiness. I help you navigate these transitions with compassion and grounding, using a balance of reflection and practical coping tools to help you adapt and heal over time.
Persistant Low Mood
Sometimes you don’t feel deeply depressed, just flat, unmotivated, or disconnected from joy. Through a mix of mindful awareness and practical strategies, we’ll explore what’s keeping you stuck and help you reconnect with a sense of vitality and meaning.
Low Self-Worth and Confidence
Feeling not good enough or overly self-critical can color the way you see yourself and the world. Our work focuses on strengthening self-understanding, quieting harsh inner narratives, and building a steadier, more compassionate sense of self.
Pospartum Depression
After the birth of a baby, emotions can shift in unexpected and painful ways. Together, we’ll create a safe, nonjudgmental space to process what you’re feeling, ease guilt and overwhelm, and support your emotional recovery and confidence as a parent.
Moodiness, Irritability, and Emotional Reactivity
If you’ve felt more reactive, tense, or emotionally on edge, it may be your body’s way of signaling stress or hormonal change. We’ll identify what’s fueling those shifts and use mindfulness-based and cognitive strategies to help you feel more balanced and in control.
What to Expect In Treatment
Most clients notice symptom relief within a few weeks of consistent practice, with deeper change unfolding over a few months. I’ll always be realistic about timelines and collaborative about goals.
Early Sessions (1-4)
Assessment, goal-setting, psychoeducation, and beginning to practice tools for immediate relief (mindfulness practice, sleep hygiene, thought records).
Middle Phase (4-12)
Continued skill practice—CBT techniques, exposure exercises (if needed), and deeper work on core beliefs that maintain anxiety.
Later Phase
Integrating tools into daily life, relapse prevention, and returning to valued activities with greater ease.
How I Work With Anxiety
I combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mindfulness and practical behavioral strategies. This usually involves the following:
•Clarifying how your thoughts, body, and behaviors keep anxiety going (collaborative assessment & in-between session logs)
•Learning targeted CBT skills to test unhelpful thoughts and reduce checking/avoidance
•Mindfulness and grounding practices to calm the nervous system and increase tolerance for difficult feelings
•Behavioral experiments and exposure tasks, paced to your comfort and readiness, to reduce avoidance and rebuild confidence
Therapy is both understanding why anxiety shows up and doing the hands-on work of changing how you respond. We’ll tailor the pace and the balance of insight vs. skills to your needs.
