Your Mind Never Clocks Out
Do you replay conversations hours after they end? Lie awake running through tomorrow's worst-case scenarios? Say yes when you mean no, hold yourself to standards you'd never impose on anyone else, and feel like rest is something you have to earn?
What High Functioning Anxiety Looks Like
Anxiety doesn't always mean panic attacks (though it can). Just as often, it looks like:
Overthinking every decision, email, and interaction
Perfectionism and a harsh inner critic that's never satisfied
People-pleasing and difficulty saying no
Trouble relaxing, even during downtime you planned for
Physical tension, restlessness, or trouble sleeping
Irritability that surprises you, especially with the people closest to you
How I Treat Anxiety
Anxiety responds well to therapy, and it responds best when treatment matches its roots. Depending on what we find, our work may draw on:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to catch and rewire the thought patterns that fuel worry, catastrophizing, and self-criticism
EMDR when anxiety traces back to specific experiences your nervous system never fully processed
Attachment-based work when the anxiety lives in relationships: fear of disappointing people, of conflict, of being too much or not enough
What to Expect When We Work Together
A free 15-minute consultation. We talk about what your anxiety looks like and what you've already tried.
Mapping your anxiety. Early sessions identify your specific patterns: the triggers, the thought loops, the physical signature, and crucially, the roots.
Active treatment. We work the plan: CBT tools you practice between sessions, EMDR for the experiences underneath, attachment work where the worry lives in your connections.
Progress you can measure. Better sleep. Decisions without the spiral. A no that doesn't require a three-day recovery.
