Anxiety is one of the most common mental health challenges facing our world today and this has only increased as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
But what is anxiety? Anxiety is a normal response to stress and can be beneficial to alerting us to dangers in our environment. The difficulties come in when anxiety develops into excessive fear, worry or anxiety and interferes with our everyday functioning and quality of life.

Symptoms
Both genetic and environmental factors can contribute to an increased risk of developing an anxiety disorder and there are different types of anxiety, such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety, OCD, and Panic disorders.

FAQ
What types of anxiety do you help with?
I support generalized anxiety, postpartum anxiety, panic attacks, health anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and chronic overthinking.
Can therapy actually stop anxiety?
The goal isn’t to eliminate anxiety completely – it’s to change your relationship with it so it no longer controls your life.
What if I don’t know why I’m anxious?
That’s very common. You don’t need to have it figured out before starting therapy – we’ll explore it together.
Do you teach coping strategies?
Yes, but we go beyond surface-level coping. We focus on understanding the root of your anxiety and building long-term nervous system regulation.
How quickly will I feel better?
Some people notice small shifts early on, but meaningful change happens over time with consistent support.
