Therapy for anxiety

Anxiety Therapy for High-Achieving Adults

Quiet the noise. Reclaim your calm.

😔 When “High Functioning” Still Feels Hard

You appear calm on the outside—but inside, it’s a different story. The constant mental spinning. The never-ending to-do lists. The tightness in your chest that never fully goes away. You’re successful, driven, and used to holding it all together—but anxiety has started to run the show.

Whether you're dealing with generalized anxiety, panic attacks, high-functioning anxiety, perfectionism, or trauma-based overwhelm, therapy can help you interrupt the loop and reconnect to yourself.

🧠 Anxiety Doesn’t Mean You’re Broken

Anxiety is often a brilliant adaptation—your nervous system’s attempt to keep you safe. But when it's hijacking your focus, your sleep, your relationships, and your ability to be present, it’s time to take a deeper look.

🔍 Common Anxiety Issues I Treat:

  • Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)

  • Panic attacks and somatic symptoms

  • High-functioning anxiety and perfectionism

  • Social anxiety and fear of judgment

  • Work-related performance anxiety

  • Health anxiety and catastrophizing

  • Trauma-related anxiety and hypervigilance

  • Overthinking, intrusive thoughts, and insomnia

🪷 A Trauma-Informed Approach to Anxiety

As a trauma therapist trained in EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Hypnotherapy, I help clients not only manage symptoms—but heal the root cause of anxiety at the nervous system level.

You won’t just learn coping skills (though I’ll give you plenty). You’ll learn how to regulate from the inside out and build safety within your body, your thoughts, and your relationships.
