Anxiety Therapy in Connecticut
Is Anxiety Making It Hard to Think Clearly or Feel at Ease?
Do you constantly feel on edge—even when nothing is technically “wrong”?
Are you stuck in a cycle of overthinking, worst-case scenarios, or sleepless nights?
Do you find it hard to relax, rest, or stop replaying conversations in your head?
Are you exhausted from trying to hold it all together while hiding how overwhelmed you feel?
You’re not alone.
Anxiety often hides in plain sight. It might show up as racing thoughts, a tight chest, restlessness, or the need to always be “on.” You may experience panic or physical tension, dread when facing small decisions, or guilt any time you try to slow down. From the outside, you might look like you're managing just fine—but inside, you're fighting to make it through the day. Living with anxiety can be overwhelming and isolating. But it doesn’t have to stay this way.
Therapy is a space where we can explore how these patterns formed, how they’ve helped you cope, and what it might feel like to relate to yourself with more compassion, flexibility, and ease.
You don’t have to do this alone.

How Anxiety Affects Your Mind, Body, and Mood
Anxiety doesn’t always look like panic attacks—it can sneak into your life in quieter, chronic ways. You might notice…
Racing thoughts or constant worry
Difficulty sleeping or staying asleep
Tension in your chest, jaw, or stomach
Feeling irritable, restless, or overwhelmed
Avoiding social situations or overcommitting to feel “in control”
A critical inner voice that never seems to let up
Anxiety can affect your thoughts, your body, and your relationships. It might leave you feeling stuck when making decisions, emotionally shut down, or like you need to stay busy just to cope. You might feel like you are always on high alert—even during everyday tasks.
These responses often develop for a reason. Anxiety may have helped you stay safe or perform under pressure in the past. It might stem from ongoing stress, unresolved trauma, perfectionism, or early life experiences where you had to be hyperaware just to get by.
In therapy, we’ll work to understand how anxiety shows up for you—so you can respond with more awareness, compassion, and choice.
You’re Not the Only One Feeling This Way
You’re not the only one who lies awake at night, overthinking every decision. Or the only one who feels like they’re barely holding it together, even when everything looks fine from the outside. Anxiety can be exhausting—and deeply isolating. But it’s also incredibly common, especially for those who’ve learned to cope by staying busy, being prepared, or striving to do everything “just right.”
Your brain is doing what it was designed to do—protect you. Anxiety is a signal that your nervous system is on high alert, often because of past experiences or ongoing pressures. It doesn’t mean you’re weak—it means your nervous system has been trying hard to keep you safe. Therapy can help you understand those patterns, soften the self-criticism, and begin building a felt sense of safety.
You don’t have to carry this alone.

Untangle Anxiety with Therapy and Finally Feel at Ease
When anxiety takes over, even the smallest tasks can feel overwhelming! You might second-guess your decisions, feel constantly tense, or find yourself spiraling into what-ifs late at night. It’s exhausting to live in a body and mind that won’t let you rest.
In therapy, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Anxiety therapy gives you a space to slow down, explore what’s happening underneath the symptoms, and learn new ways to care for your nervous system. Together, we’ll make sense of the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that are keeping you stuck in fear or self-doubt.
What to Expect within Therapy Sessions
During the first session, we’ll talk through what anxiety looks like for you—whether it’s racing thoughts, physical tension, people-pleasing, overthinking, or a need to control everything around you. We’ll set meaningful goals and identify small, doable steps that help you feel more grounded and in control.
Treatment plans are collaborative and are tailored to your own needs based on evidence-based approaches to help you overcome anxiety. Here are a few examples of techniques I find helpful with clients.
Bowenian Therapy to create a genogram to track generational patterns of anxiety
Solution-Focused Therapy to help you tap into your strengths and build practical tools for managing anxiety
Narrative Therapy to gently examine the stories you tell yourself about your worries and fears—and explore how you might rewrite those stories to feel more empowered.
You don’t have to stay stuck in survival mode. With therapy, anxiety symptoms can shift—and you can finally feel more calm, connected, and in control of your life.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Anxiety can look different for everyone. Some people feel constant worry or dread, others experience physical symptoms like racing heart, tension, or trouble sleeping. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in overthinking, or like you can’t relax—even when things are “fine”—therapy can help you explore what’s going on and how to find relief, whether or not you’ve been formally diagnosed.
-
The goal isn’t to eliminate anxiety completely—anxiety is a natural part of being human. But therapy can help you understand it, reduce its intensity, and shift your relationship to it so it no longer runs your life. Over time most people feel more grounded, less reactive, and more in control of their choices and emotions.
-
That’s completely normal. Many people feel nervous before reaching out—it takes courage to be vulnerable and invest in yourself. We’ll go at your pace, and you’re welcome to bring your fears and questions into our first session. You don’t have to show up as anything other than yourself.
