Counseling for Anxiety
When worry won’t let go, you don’t have to carry it alone.
What anxiety can feel like
Anxiety shows up differently for everyone. You might notice:
- Racing or looping thoughts you can’t switch off
- Trouble sleeping, or waking up already tense
- A tight chest, an upset stomach or restlessness
- Avoiding people, places or decisions
- Feeling on edge or easily overwhelmed
These are common experiences, not a diagnosis. Our first conversations help us understand what’s going on for you.
How counseling can help
Together we’ll look at what’s feeding the worry and focus on what you can choose and change today, one practical step at a time. My approach draws on Reality Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which look at how our thoughts, choices and actions connect.
Faith, if you want it
My counseling is Christ-centered. If you’d like, scripture and prayer can be part of our sessions, alongside practical tools for change. If you’re not a Christian, or not sure what you believe, you’re welcome here just the same. You decide how much faith is part of your counseling.
