Anxiety Therapy

Do you often find yourself feeling on edge, uptight, and restless?

Do you tend to overthink and second guess your decisions?

Does it feel like your fears and worries are constant and debilitating?

Anxiety can be so difficult to manage, and left unaddressed often becomes more and more powerful- to the point that it can feel as though it controls nearly every aspect of our lives! Maybe you’re so overwhelmed from battling your anxiety that you feel as though you have little left for what matters most to you.

Sometimes it’s hard to even understand why we are feeling so anxious.

Our genetics, past life experiences, and go-to coping strategies, as well as day to day work stress, relational challenges, and health concerns can all contribute to an increased experience of anxiety. Fear for ourselves and our loved ones, as well as worry about all the challenges our world is experiencing can become so painful and overwhelming that daily tasks like working and caring for ourselves and loved ones can be hard to focus on.
