Anxiety

 

Believe it or not, having some anxiety is actually a normal function of the brain and it means that it's working to help us function. However, anxiety can grow quickly and begin to consume areas of our lives.

 

This is when you should get help.

​

Here are some of the ways anxiety may be showing up for you: ​

• excessive worry

• panic attacks

• overthinking

• avoidance

• perfectionism

• people pleasing

• social anxiety 

​

​​These are just some ways anxiety can manifest and can even develop into other things like OCD, skin picking or hair pulling, body dysmorphia, or disordered eating. ​

​

Anxiety can become severe and start to impact your daily life. It can affect your sleep, appetite, energy and make it hard to focus on other things, make decisions, function at work or school, or engage with friends or family. 

​

Let me help with that. I used evidenced-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to treat anxiety.

​

Trauma can also be a significant source for anxiety. Find out more about how I treat trauma.
