Therapy for Anxiety
Anxiety treatment for adults available in-person in the greater Nashville region and online across the state of Tennessee
There’s a sense of impending doom that feels all-consuming, leaving your mind and body in a constant state of alert. You feel tense and panicked all day, only to lie wide awake at night, desperate to quiet your racing thoughts and get some rest before facing it all again tomorrow. You’re so lost in worries about the future that you can’t enjoy what’s happening right now, and as your anxiety grows bigger, your life gets smaller. Eventually you end up feeling totally disconnected from yourself, others, and the things you love most. Anxiety has even gotten in the way of you seeking therapy—it’s overwhelming when you don’t know what to expect, and therapy is full of unknowns. “What if they don’t understand? What if I’m beyond help?”
Rest assured, you are not alone. Anxiety is one of the most common experiences that brings people to therapy. Fortunately, anxiety disorders are also highly treatable. A certain amount of anxiety is normal and healthy—it’s an emotion built into our bodies to help navigate challenges and keep us safe from threats. However, when anxiety persists, worsens, or starts to interfere with your daily life, it’s time to reach out for help. I specialize in treating problem anxiety by helping you cultivate acceptance and flexibility in the face of life’s uncertainty. I understand the exhaustion that comes from carrying the weight of anxiety, and it takes heroic levels of bravery to seek help. It is possible to break free from anxiety’s chokehold and reclaim your life.
“Anxiety does not come from thinking about the future, but from wanting to control it. ”
—Kahlil Gibran
