Anxiety can be overwhelming, making even everyday tasks feel exhausting. It can show up as constant worry, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, or physical symptoms like muscle tension, dizziness, or a racing heart. Whether anxiety has been a lifelong challenge or has emerged due to life stressors, health changes, or past experiences, it can feel isolating and frustrating—but you don’t have to navigate it alone.
 

In my work as a therapist—including in intensive outpatient settings—I have supported individuals struggling with various forms of anxiety, including:
 

• Generalized anxiety – Persistent worry that feels difficult to control, often about multiple areas of life.

• Health anxiety – Fear surrounding health changes, symptom management, medical events, or navigating medical settings and procedures. It’s understandable to feel anxious when facing the unknown, and medical environments can be overwhelming.

• Performance anxiety – Stress around work, academics, sports performance, creative expression, or public speaking.

• Social anxiety – Discomfort or fear in social situations, from large gatherings to daily interactions.

• Post-COVID and Long-COVID anxiety – Difficulty adjusting to major life changes, fear of worsening illness, social avoidance, or anxiety about health and recovery.

• Panic attacks – Sudden, intense waves of fear that may include rapid heartbeat, dizziness, chest tightness, and feeling out of control.

• Sleep difficulties and insomnia – Racing thoughts, trouble falling or staying asleep, and restless nights.
   

I also have specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), an evidence-based approach for individuals struggling with sleep disturbances related to anxiety. Poor sleep and anxiety often reinforce each other, and improving sleep quality can be a key part of reducing overall distress.
 

I know that anxiety isn’t just about “thinking too much” or something you can simply turn off. It’s often deeply tied to the nervous system, past experiences, and how we process the world around us. My approach blends mindfulness, somatic awareness, and evidence-based techniques to help you regain a sense of control.
