Anxiety therapy that actually settles the body.
The goal isn't a life without anxiety - it's a nervous system that doesn't run your life. We work on both ends: the racing body and the thoughts it's built on top of.
What anxiety therapy looks like here
I work with generalized anxiety, panic, high-functioning anxiety, social anxiety, and the health anxiety and existential dread that spiked for a lot of people after the last few years. My approach is body-first and integrative: somatic and Brainspotting tools for regulation, IFS-informed work for the parts of you doing the worrying, and honest conversation for the meaning underneath.
The kinds of anxiety I see most
- High-functioning anxiety - the outside looks fine, the inside is on fire.
- Panic attacks and health anxiety.
- Perfectionism-fueled anxiety and burnout.
- Anxiety layered on ADHD, grief, or trauma.
- Anticipatory anxiety and rumination.
Why body-based approaches matter
Anxiety lives in the body long before it becomes a thought. If we only work with the thoughts, we're bailing water out of a boat with a hole in it. Learning to feel and regulate what your body is doing is often the piece that finally changes the pattern.
Common questions about anxiety therapy
How long does anxiety therapy usually take?
Most people notice their body settling within the first 6 to 8 sessions, and deeper pattern change usually takes a few months. We check in about progress regularly instead of guessing.
Is online therapy effective for anxiety and panic?
Yes. Research on telehealth for anxiety shows outcomes comparable to in-person care, and being in your own space often makes the regulation skills easier to practice where you actually need them.
What is the difference between a panic attack and an anxiety attack?
Panic attacks come on fast, peak within about 10 minutes, and often feel physical - racing heart, chest tightness, a sense that something is very wrong. Anxiety builds slower and lingers. We work with both, but the tools are a little different.
Do I need medication for anxiety?
Not necessarily. I do not prescribe, but I coordinate with your prescriber or PCP if medication is part of your picture. Plenty of people do this work without it.
I look fine on the outside. Does high-functioning anxiety count?
It counts. Holding it all together at a real cost to your body and sleep is exactly the kind of anxiety I see most.
Which states can you see me in?
Washington, Wisconsin, and Florida, by telehealth. You need to be physically located in one of those states during our sessions.
