Anxiety Treatment and Stress Relief
In-Person and Online Therapy
Anxiety often shows up as a mix of physical sensations—such as tension, restlessness, chest tightness, or a racing heart—and persistent, fearful thoughts that are hard to quiet. It can create a constant sense of threat, ranging from mild unease to full-blown panic attacks. For some, anxiety is situational; for others, it’s a chronic, daily experience rooted in underlying thought patterns and nervous system dysregulation.
Living with anxiety can be exhausting and overwhelming. Many people spend huge amounts of energy managing anxiety symptoms, only to feel more drained, frustrated, and hopeless. Anxiety can also contribute to depression, insomnia, and feelings of disconnection from others.
I understand this cycle personally—I've walked through it myself. I know how painful and frustrating it can be when every effort to control anxiety seems to make it even worse.
The good news is that healing from anxiety is possible. With the right support, nervous system-informed therapy, and practical anxiety treatment tools, you can begin to feel safer, calmer, and more connected to yourself and your life. One step at a time, we’ll work together toward lasting relief and greater emotional resilience.

Effective Anxiety Treatment Rooted in Somatic and Cognitive Techniques
Healing anxiety begins with learning simple, effective ways to regulate the nervous system and reduce distress in the body. When we are highly activated, it’s difficult to think clearly or process emotions. That’s why the first steps in anxiety treatment focus on safely discharging stress through somatic therapy techniques, grounding exercises, and nervous system regulation practices. This alone can bring significant relief and help restore a sense of empowerment and control.
Once anxiety becomes more manageable—typically at or below a 6 out of 10 on a subjective scale of intensity—we can begin exploring the underlying thought patterns, relational dynamics, and attention habits that fuel anxiety. From a compassionate, trauma-informed therapy perspective, we gently identify these patterns and introduce practical tools and strategies to shift them. Every client’s healing journey is unique, and together we’ll discover the approaches that resonate most with you in a safe, supportive therapeutic space.
At its core, anxiety stems from the brain’s perception of threat, which activates a physiological alarm in the body. Lasting anxiety relief comes from learning how to communicate true safety to the nervous system. When the body genuinely feels safe in the present moment, the brain no longer needs to sound the alarm—and anxious patterns naturally begin to dissolve. This opens the door to greater calm, clarity, and emotional resilience.
