Anxiety therapy in Maryland & Vermont
Let’s slow down and quiet the mind
Anxiety is a natural part of being human. In small doses, it can help us stay motivated, focused, and prepared for life. But when anxiety doesn’t know how to turn off, it can start to take over; lingering in the background and interfering with our sleep, our focus and our sense of ease.
Anxiety can be sneaky. Sometimes it shows up as racing thoughts, overthinking, or constant worry about what might go wrong. Other times it hides behind perfectionism, people-pleasing or the fear of not being good enough.
Living this way feels exhausting - your mind is always on high alert, scanning for danger and making it hard to truly relax, even when everything looks okay on the outside. This anxiety does not let you do things that you truly want to.
You’re constantly doing your best; but inside, you feel overwhelmed, on edge, and exhausted.
You wake up and feel on edge, or nervous, even if you got rest and sleep
You are absorbed with what-ifs and worst case scenarios when it comes to actions
You are constantly on high alert even when there is no cause
You worry about failing, or being judged, even when everything seems “fine” on the outside
Tension in the muscles, headaches, trouble sleeping, or digestive issues that won’t go away
There is mental fog, irritability, or difficulty focusing
You doubt yourself every step of the way and can’t make personal decisions
You notice overthinking, needing reassurance, or fearing you’re not “enough”
You have a heightened anxiety around your cycle, pregnancy, or postpartum
Living with anxiety is exhausting! You deserve some rest and space, not just to survive but to feel better.
Anxiety is real, but it doesn’t have to control you; with support, you can feel safe, seen, and empowered.
How I can support you
In our work together, we’ll look at how anxiety shows up for you — in your body, in your thoughts, and in how you relate to others. You’ll start to notice your patterns, understand what sets your anxiety off and learn simple ways to calm yourself instead of being swept away with it.
We’ll also gently explore where your anxiety comes from. For many people, it’s connected to long-term stress, past experiences, early relationships, or recent changes in life. We’ll work with these deeper layers at a pace that feels safe and supportive for you.
You’ll learn practical tools that you can use everyday to help your body settle, your mind slow down, and feel more at ease.
My nominal workflow will be
Understand your brain and share the neurobiology of anxiety
Understand its root causes and the factors maintaining it
Identify your longstanding and daily triggers along with unhelpful old patterns
Understand and challenge that inner critic that never stops bullying you
Practice skills and exercises, and understand the rationale behind them
Practice execution of skills, outside of our sessions, when a trigger hits
Build confidence and lasting resilience
Anxiety feels familiar, but it doesn’t bring the relief you need.
Approaches I use to support you better
I’m trained in several therapeutic approaches but what matters most is not the choice of the technique. It’s what YOU need in the moment. Together, we explore and experiment with different methods that help you feel more relaxed, focused, and supported during each session. My work combines relational therapy and body-based (somatic) approaches, guiding you to feel calmer, clearer, and more centered—both in your mind and your whole body.
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to help you change your relationship with anxiety and respond effectively
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help your brain process stuck memories
Somatic Experiencing (SE) to support nervous system regulation using body-sensations
Mindfulness to practice being in the here & now
Attachment-based therapy to build self-trust and strengthen relationships
Outcomes you are looking for
Practical tools you can use the moment anxiety shows up so that you can reclaim peace and control
A better understanding of your emotions and what they’re trying to tell you
More confidence and mental strength giving you the ability to have healthier relationships
More self-compassion and trust to handle life’s difficult challenges
