Living with Anxiety

Anxiety is more than worry, it affects the mind, emotions, and body all at once. It can lead to racing thoughts, self-doubt, and a constant sense of fear or overwhelm, making it hard to stay present or feel in control. Emotionally, anxiety can drain a person’s confidence and leave them feeling on edge or easily exhausted. Physically, it often shows up as tension, headaches, stomach issues, rapid heartbeat, or trouble sleeping. While anxiety can be consuming, it is treatable, and with support and coping skills, people can find relief and regain balance in their lives.

Even though anxiety can feel heavy, lonely, and overwhelming, it does not define who you are. Your nervous system is trying to protect you, not sabotage you. With support, tools, and a safe space to process what you're carrying, anxiety can become more manageable, your body can learn to relax, and your mind can find clarity again. You are not “too much,” and you don’t have to navigate the noise of anxiety alone. Healing is possible—one breath, one skill, and one moment at a time.

Struggling with Anxiety can look like:

  • Constant worrying & overthinking

  • Feeling misunderstood

  • Physical symptoms

    • rapid heart rate

    • shaking

    • shortness of breathe

  • Strain on relationships

  • Poor self esteem

  • Lack of confidence

  • Low distress tolerance

  • Second guessing yourself

As a mental health therapist, I like to take a very holistic approach to all forms of mental health, both in how you heal your mind and body. I do this by helping people identify and address the way they view their thoughts, and then find different ways to view the anxiety and see things more realistically.

Dealing with anxiety over long periods of time puts our body into “fight or flight” mode too often and our nervous system and stress hormones are overloaded. Finding ways to heal and calm the body is crucial, which we talk about extensively in therapy. Reach out today and we will help you find ways to heal your anxiety for good.

Some strategies we use include incorporating: DBT, ACT, IFS, and ART.
