Stress & Anxiety

When your mind won’t rest and your body can’t relax

Anxiety and stress are part of being human—but when they no longer pass, they begin to shape how you live. What started as a response to life’s pressures can become a constant state of alert, tension, or exhaustion.

You might notice racing thoughts, restlessness, muscle tightness, poor sleep, or a sense that your system never fully powers down. These are signs that your body and mind have taken on too much, for too long.

Understanding What’s Happening:

Stress often begins as a reaction to something outside of you—workload, conflict, uncertainty.
Anxiety grows when that activation becomes internalized—when your body continues bracing even after the stressor is gone.

The goal isn’t just to calm symptoms, but to understand why your system stays on high alert. Together, we trace the deeper emotional patterns that drive chronic tension—perfectionism, self-doubt, fear of failure, or difficulty feeling safe in rest.

How I Work:

My approach combines:

• Psychodynamic and relational therapy to uncover unconscious patterns and relational roots of anxiety.

• Mindfulness-based awareness to reconnect the mind and body.

• Compassion-focused and CBT-informed practices to build steadiness and self-support.

This integration allows therapy to shift from symptom control to deep regulation and self-alignment.
