Anxiety can sneak into your day in ways you might not notice at first. It might feel like a tight chest, racing thoughts, or the constant pull to get everything “right.” You may show up at work, at home, or in relationships, but inside your body is tense, your mind is spinning, and it can feel impossible to just rest.
In therapy, we focus on what your body and mind are trying to tell you. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that keep anxiety looping, notice how it shows up in your daily life, and develop grounded tools to help you feel more steady, present, and in touch with yourself.
Anxiety Therapy in Santa Rosa, CA
Anxiety can feel like this…
People often seek support when anxiety shows up as:
Constant tension or restlessness, even in safe spaces
A busy mind that won’t quiet down
Feeling pulled in too many directions, trying to do everything perfectly
Emotional fatigue, guilt, or self-criticism that lingers
Numbness or a sense of disconnection from yourself
These feelings are not a sign of weakness. They are signals from your nervous system and your mind trying to protect you. In therapy, we explore these signals and gently uncover what lies beneath, so you can begin to respond differently, with curiosity, compassion, and presence.
Therapy can help
Therapy is a space to slow down, notice what’s happening in your body and mind, and gently explore the patterns that keep anxiety, self-doubt, and stress looping. Together, we’ll uncover what’s underneath your feelings and behaviors, so you can begin to respond to life with more presence, clarity, and self-trust.
What we can work on together
-
We’ll explore how anxiety and depression show up in your body, thoughts, and daily life. You’ll learn tools to notice early signs, calm your nervous system, and respond to stress instead of reacting automatically.
-
If you tend to doubt yourself or feel like you’re never enough, we’ll uncover the beliefs that keep you stuck and cultivate a sense of inner trust. Therapy becomes a place to practice being seen, valued, and accepted exactly as you are.
-
You learned to keep the peace, avoid conflict, and put others first–sometimes at the expense of your own wellbeing. Maybe it felt safer that way growing up, or maybe it’s how you survived in your relationships. Therapy can help you unlearn those patterns and practice new ways of protecting your energy, trusting your gut, and taking up space without guilt.
-
The pressure to get it “just right” can be relentless, and it’s often tied to a deeper fear of being rejected, failing, or not measuring up. Whether that pressure started in childhood, school, or in a relationship, we’ll look at where it comes from and how it’s shaped your nervous system. Together, we’ll create more room to be fully human, imperfect, present, and enough.
-
Beyond symptom management, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself, notice what truly matters, and build sustainable habits for confidence, ease, and grounded presence.
