Anxiety doesn't always look like panic. For many people it looks like a mind that won't stop running through scenarios, replaying conversations, or bracing for something to go wrong — even when things are technically fine. It can show up as difficulty trusting your own instincts, staying so busy that slowing down feels dangerous, or holding yourself together in ways that have become so automatic you've stopped noticing the effort. For some people, anxiety has been present for so long it doesn't feel like anxiety anymore. It just feels like who they are.

But anxiety rarely comes from nowhere. It usually developed for good reasons — as a way of staying safe, staying prepared, or staying connected to people who needed you to be a certain way. In our work together, we don't approach anxiety as something to be eliminated. We work to understand what it's been tracking, where it learned to show up the way it does, and what a different relationship with it might look like. Not less aware, but less at the mercy of it.

I offer anxiety therapy in Austin, Texas and via telehealth across the state for adults who are ready to understand what's underneath — not just manage what's on the surface.
