Therapy for Anxiety

In Marin County, California & online for California Residents

 Harness your anxiety to feel
more in control of your life.


There is not a one-size-fits-all kind of anxiety

Depending on your current situation, anxiety can show up in lots of different ways.


Sometimes it might feel behind you and resolved and then something happens and it’s back front and center in your face, demanding your attention. Sometimes, it’s like a slow simmer and you know it’s there but you feel in control. Sometimes, you are activated and although anxiety shows up, you can harness that energy and make it work for you. And sometimes, you are so consumed by it that your whole world is spinning and you feel like you are coming apart. 


Even when things are going well, anxiety can be ever-present, like a sleeping dragon, and you may not always know when, where or how you will be triggered. Sometimes your reactions may surprise you and feel like they come out of the blue. This can have a big impact on your relationships, work, and school commitments and lead to ongoing distress.


It’s time to do something different and get off the anxiety roller coaster.


You may find yourself canceling plans, leaving social situations early, disconnecting from relationships, feeling numbed out, feeling overstimulated, and engaging in behaviors to self-soothe. Sometimes these behaviors become habits and then those habits become the problem. Sometimes you may feel that your anxiety is the only thing getting you out of bed in the morning because your excessive worry about managing your life has you amped up.  People may describe you as moody, emotional or over-reactive. People may think you worry excessively and you catastrophize everything.

I can help you:

  • Tune into your body and the messages it’s sending you

  • Anticipate triggers and learn to respond to them

  • Find your voice and advocate for yourself

  • Cultivate healthy relationships

  • Develop mind and body integration

 

Anxiety doesn’t have to define you but rather can inform you of what you are needing to tend to in any given moment or situation.

Together, we will dive deeper into your patterns so you can understand the multi-faceted aspects of your anxiety and feel better equipped to respond when triggering situations arise. I’ll help you bring dynamic ease into your life and make peace with the unknown while learning to sense what’s happening in the body so you can calm the nervous system. Learn to listen to what your anxiety is telling you–slow down, get out of this situation, get your needs met, and live a fuller life.


Together we’ll look at the relationship between your thoughts, feelings and behaviors and how changing one thing can positively impact the others. Become a sensation scientist and tune into body cues and messages to bring more awareness to what is happening in your whole body. I’ll teach you movement techniques, breathing exercises, and self care practices to calm the nervous system and make shifts to bring more body and mind balance.


Channel the paralyzing energy that is holding you back and learn to identify the messages your body is telling you through your anxiety reactions.
