Anxiety Therapy
overthinking, overwhelm, and a nervous system that won’t slow down
Anxiety can show up in different ways.
Sometimes it’s constant overthinking—your mind racing, trying to figure everything out.
Sometimes it’s a feeling in your body—tightness, restlessness, or an inability to fully relax.
You might:
Feel “on edge” much of the time
Struggle to quiet your thoughts
Have trouble relaxing, even when things are okay
Feel overwhelmed by day-to-day life
Notice tension or discomfort in your body
Feel stuck in cycles of worry or self-doubt
Even when you understand your anxiety, it can still feel hard to shift.
A Somatic Approach to Anxiety
In somatic therapy, we include your body in the process.
Together, we’ll:
Slow things down so your system doesn’t feel overwhelmed
Notice patterns of tension, activation, or shutdown
Build awareness of what’s happening in your body
Support your nervous system in finding more balance
Over time, this can help you feel:
More grounded
Less reactive
More able to respond instead of react
More at ease in your day-to-day life

Why Anxiety Doesn’t Just Go Away
Anxiety isn’t just something happening in your thoughts.
It’s also connected to your nervous system—how your body responds to stress, safety, and uncertainty.
This is why insight alone often isn’t enough.
Who This Is For
This work may resonate if you:
Identify as high-functioning but feel overwhelmed internally
Experience chronic stress or burnout
Struggle with perfectionism or overthinking
Feel disconnected from your body or emotions
Want a deeper, more effective approach than talk therapy alone

Frequently Asked Questions ABOUT Anxiety
-
You don't need to have the answer before starting therapy. Anxiety can stem from many places—stress, life transitions, past experiences, relationship dynamics, or patterns that developed long ago. Together, we'll get curious about what your anxiety may be trying to communicate and explore ways to support greater ease and resilience.
-
A somatic approach recognizes that anxiety isn't just something we think—it's also something we experience in our bodies. Rather than focusing solely on changing thoughts, we'll pay attention to physical sensations, nervous system responses, and patterns of tension or activation. This can help create a greater sense of regulation, safety, and connection over time.
-
The goal isn't necessarily to eliminate anxiety altogether. Anxiety is a natural human experience and can sometimes carry important information. Therapy can help you develop a different relationship with anxiety so that it feels less overwhelming, less controlling, and more manageable in your daily life.
-
You don't need to be experiencing panic attacks or constant worry for therapy to be helpful. Many people seek support because they feel overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in patterns they can't seem to change, or exhausted from always being "on." Therapy can provide space to better understand these experiences and begin moving toward greater balance and self-trust.
