Anxiety Therapy
When Anxiety and Overwhelm Take Over (Even When You’re Trying Your Best)
Do you feel like your mind never stops, even when nothing “bad” is happening?
Do your thoughts loop endlessly, your body stays tense, and relief always seems just out of reach?
Do racing thoughts, persistent worry, irritability, tension, or difficulty sleeping keep you from feeling calm?
Do everyday tasks feel heavier, more exhausting, or impossible to manage?
Does anxiety show up as overwhelm — a sense that the present moment demands more than you can handle?
Whether it’s persistent worry about the future or constant overwhelm in the present, you are not failing. Your nervous system is responding to stress in ways that once helped you survive — but now keep you stuck.
However, there is hope for healing—it’s within your reach.
There Is a Way Forward: Anxiety Therapy Can Help You Feel Different
You don’t have to live in constant activation. Anxiety and overwhelm are patterns in your nervous system — and with therapy, these patterns can shift.
This therapy helps you:
Calm the nervous system and reduce persistent tension
Respond to stress with clarity and regulation, instead of automatic reactivity
Build sustainable coping tools that work with your brain and body
Move from merely surviving to feeling present, grounded, and capable
Even small shifts in your nervous system can feel radically freeing.
You Are Not Alone…
Many adults seeking anxiety therapy experience the same things:
Feeling constantly “on edge” or keyed up
Being overwhelmed by tasks others seem to handle easily
Emotional reactivity or irritability that feels out of proportion
Difficulty sleeping or relaxing, despite trying strategies like mindfulness or meditation
Self-criticism or shame for “not coping better”
These experiences are common and understandable — they reflect natural, adaptive nervous system responses to chronic stress. You are not broken; you’re responding to experiences your system learned to protect you from.
How This Therapy Helps: Specific Solutions
Traditional therapy often focuses solely on thoughts and behaviors. While valuable, this misses the body’s role in anxiety. Our approach is holistic and integrative: we address the nervous system, body sensations, and trauma patterns alongside thoughts, so relief is felt as well as understood.
We use powerful, evidence-based modalities:
Emotional Freedom Techniques (“Tapping”): Rooted over 2,000 years of traditional Chinese Medicine, this evidenced-based approach involved gently touching acupressure points to shift energy meridians and rewire brain and body.
Brainspotting: This powerful therapy targets and processes feelings and experiences stored in the body, mind, and nervous system helping you release past struggles and move forward with clarity.
Somatic therapy: Using the body’s natural wisdom, somatic therapy helps release feelings and experiences stored in the nervous system, bringing greater calm, regulation, and resilience.
Energy Psychology: This modality uses a combination of powerful techniques to clear energy blockages, support emotional healing, and rewire negative patterns of thought.
These approaches can combine to create an integrative, holistic path to transformation and growth that doesn’t simply focus on symptom management but instead supports you in addressing the underlying causes of your struggles.
This method allows for profound shifts in how you relate to yourself, your body, your feelings, your energy, and the people and the world around you.
Common Concerns and How We Address Them
❓ “I’ve tried therapy before — what if this doesn’t work for me?”
Response: Our work is personalized and paced for your nervous system. Many clients who felt stuck in previous therapy find significant relief here because we focus on bottom-up, body-informed change.
❓ “What if therapy feels overwhelming or re-traumatizing?”
Response: Safety and pacing are central. You lead the process; we move at a pace that feels manageable, gradually helping your nervous system feel more regulated. We specialize in techniques that do not require you to relive or re-tell stressful experiences.
❓ “I’m unsure if therapy is worth the investment.”
Response: We start with a free 15-minute consultation. Once we start therapy, many clients notice improvements in energy, focus, and emotional resilience that make therapy highly rewarding — not just in sessions, but in everyday life.
