Therapy for Anxiety

ONLINE THERAPY FOR CA & HI

 

Anxiety shows up in our lives in many different ways.

I help clients with…

Generalized Anxiety

 

Do you find yourself worrying about many different things and feeling easily overwhelmed or thrown off? Maybe you grew up identifying as a “worrier” or “an anxious person” and you’re ready to break free from that mold. It’s time to regain mental clarity and start enjoying your life to the fullest.

Social Anxiety

 

Do you feel anxious about social interactions, even just day to day ones? Do you find yourself avoiding certain situations because you're so nervous that you’re unable to enjoy yourself? Social anxiety creates a cycle of worrying compounded by anxiety about the anxiety. Don’t let the cycle hold you back from feeling empowered, successful, and connected in your social life.

Anxiety from life transitions

 

Although change is inevitable, it’s hard for everyone. We find comfort in the familiar (even when we’re not happy with it). Big changes like starting a new job, getting into a relationship, embarking on parenthood, and adjusting to life after a loss can spark anxiety as you experience new challenges and uncertainty.

Specific Fears / Phobias

 

Is there a specific fear or phobia that you want to overcome? I help clients develop the skills that liberate them from their fears.

Avoidance fuels anxiety.

Common types of anxiety

  • Generalized anxiety is characterized by pervasive and persistent worrying about many different things. Typically these worries are about everyday issues.

  • Social Anxiety (also called Social Phobia) is a persistent, intense anxiety and fear of situations in which you may be judged negatively. This may look like a preoccupation with what others think of you, intense self-consciousness and hyper-awareness, and fear of being embarrassed or scrutinized. There is also often a fear that others will notice their anxiety or discomfort. People with social anxiety may begin to avoid triggering situations, which can cause meaningful limitations in their life and relationships.

  • Life transitions like starting a new job, getting into a relationship, losing a loved one, or ending a relationship can spark anxiety as you experience major changes and ambiguity. Adjusting to something new means uncertainty as well as a loss of the past role or relationship.
