Anxiety is common and it is treatable. In counseling we start by understanding when and why your anxiety shows up, and what it is trying to protect you from.
From there I help you build tools you can use right away, such as slowing your breathing, noticing and questioning anxious thoughts, and facing avoided situations at a pace you can manage. We also look at the relationships, responsibilities and history that may be feeding the worry.
The goal is not to get rid of every anxious moment. It is to help you feel steadier, sleep better and get back to the things that matter to you.
