What if the loudest voice in your life isn't telling you the truth? Anxiety has a way of making possibilities feel like certainties. Does your mind jump to the worst case scenario, replay conversations long after they're over, scan your body for signs something is wrong, or convince you certainty is just one more Google search away? Maybe intrusive thoughts leave you questioning yourself, or fear has slowly made your world smaller. I help people stop letting anxiety write the story of their lives. Therapy isn't about eliminating anxiety. It's about making sure anxiety is no longer making your decisions.
Your mind is trying to protect you. It just isn't always right. Using CBT, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I'll help you break free from overthinking, reassurance seeking, avoidance, and self doubt so you can trust yourself instead of your anxious mind.
Imagine making decisions based on what matters to you instead of what anxiety allows. That's what therapy is about. If you're ready to stop believing everything anxiety tells you, let's start changing the conversation.
