Anxiety Treatment
In my practice, I work with a variety of anxiety-related concerns, including:
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
• Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
• Panic Disorder
• Social Anxiety
• Health Anxiety and Unspecified and Other Specified Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety can present in many different ways. For some individuals, it shows up as excessive worry, overthinking, perfectionism, or difficulty making decisions. For others, it may manifest as panic attacks, chronic tension, sleep difficulties, racing thoughts, digestive concerns, or a persistent feeling of being “on edge.” While anxiety is often experienced mentally and emotionally, it is also a physiological experience that affects the nervous system and the body.
My approach to treating anxiety is integrative and individualized. In addition to traditional psychotherapy, I incorporate somatic and body-based approaches, including Somatic Experiencing®, EMDR, yoga therapy, mindfulness, breathwork, and trauma-informed movement practices. These approaches help clients develop greater awareness of their nervous system responses and build the capacity to move from chronic states of activation, overwhelm, or shutdown toward greater regulation and flexibility.
Rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction, I work with clients to understand the underlying patterns contributing to anxiety while helping the body learn new ways of responding to stress. Depending on the individual’s needs, treatment may include developing coping skills, exploring attachment patterns, processing past experiences, improving emotional regulation, strengthening body awareness, and building resilience.
My first priority is creating a therapeutic environment that feels safe, collaborative, and supportive. From there, we work together to develop a treatment plan tailored to your unique goals, experiences, and nervous system needs.
