Your brain feels like it’s working constantly. You want to find the pause button so you can shut it off.
You’re hyperaware of everything at all times. Sometimes it’s the endless list of tasks that need to get done. Other times your brain is in monitoring mode. Monitoring your mannerisms and what you do or say. Monitoring other people’s body language and communication.

I help people learn skills to get relief from their anxiety.
If you’re ready to feel better, schedule a complimentary consultation with me today!
My Approach to Anxiety Therapy
Anxiety Therapist Orange County
Anxiety can feel big and powerful, and for good reason. A normal level of anxiety that comes and goes is essential for survival. It sends an alert to your body when there is a threat present. All your body’s energy goes to keeping you safe, which is why it can feel all-consuming. In theory, this works great if you encounter a bear on a hiking trail. It is not so helpful when you’re trying to focus at work or engage in a social situation.
Anxiety that is persistent and lingers in the background of your life can take a toll. It can impact your body, mental health, sleep, and energy levels. Left unaddressed, anxiety can lead to feelings of isolation, overwhelm, depression, and shame.
You do not have to feel consumed by your anxiety forever. You can learn skills to experience relief and regain control of your life. That’s where I can help!
Imagine what it would be like to slow down without feeling guilty or anxious about it. Imagine how it would feel to have a sense of internal peace and calm. How might this impact your presence in your relationships? Would it change the way you communicate with yourself and others? Anxiety can impact your confidence and how you interact with others. Imagine a shift in confidence levels and relationships. You might feel more grounded, connected, and secure.
Are you ready to feel better and less consumed by your anxiety? Anxiety therapy involves exploring triggers that activate your anxiety. Additionally, it's important to consider what anxiety tells you or says about you. Anxiety therapy provides an opportunity to learn valuable skills. Skills that help you increase space in your brain for the things that are most important to you. Reach out today for Orange County anxiety treatment.
