Anxiety Therapy For Women and Teen Girls
Building the capacity to stay present in Santa Rosa and across California
The thinking doesn't stop. You're in a conversation and already three steps ahead of it. You're in bed and your brain is running through tomorrow, next week, the thing you said three years ago that you still can't let go of.
Your body has been trying to tell you something for a while. The tightness, the restlessness, the feeling that something is slightly wrong even when everything is technically fine. Most women I work with have gotten pretty good at overriding those signals and adding another thing to the list.
Many of the clients I work with are prepared, thorough, on top of everything. Being ahead of every possible problem is often the whole strategy, the worst case scenario running in the background, the conclusion you've already jumped to before anyone's said a word, the feeling that you have to earn rest, earn enough, earn your place in the room.
The mental loop that won't quit even when things are fine
Snapping at people and knowing exactly why but not being able to stop
Waking up already braced for something
Your body hasn't felt relaxed in a long time
Anxiety is usually a messenger. We get curious about what it needs, what it's afraid would happen if it stopped protecting you. That curiosity is often where things start to shift.
A lot of the women I work with are used to thinking their way through everything. What's harder is feeling it, noticing the buildup in your body before it turns into snapping at someone, or lying awake at 1am. We work on connecting those two parts of you, the part that thinks and the part that feels, so they're actually working together instead of one running the show while the other gets ignored.
We build resources that actually work for you, not generic worksheets or techniques that sound good but don't land. Slowly, that turns into real things: saying no without over-explaining it, taking care of yourself without waiting until you're depleted, actually being present in your own life instead of five steps ahead of it.
