Anxiety and Overthinking
Therapy for people who are tired of getting hooked by the same mental battles.
When your mind will not slow down.
When overthinking replaces action.
When anxiety starts making decisions for you.
If this feels familiar, you are not broken. You may be stuck in a pattern of fighting or avoiding what shows up internally. That pattern can change. You can learn to respond differently and move forward, even with anxiety present.
Structured, evidence-based therapy focused on responding differently to stress, worry, rumination, and self-doubt.
How Anxiety Shows Up
You might be here because:
Your mind doesn’t slow down
You anticipate worst-case scenarios
Your mind distracts you from being present
You avoid things that make you uncomfortable
You feel stuck in analysis instead of action
Anxiety does not always look like panic. You might be functioning well on the outside while feeling internally restless, tense, or stuck in mental loops. It can pull you out of the moment, making it difficult to be fully present with your work, your relationships, or even yourself.
The problem is not that difficult thoughts show up. It is how easily you get hooked and carried away by them.
How Therapy Works Here
If I were to tell you, “Don’t think about an elephant!” … what happens?
Trying to suppress or eliminate thoughts often makes them louder. Therapy here is not about silencing anxiety. It is about changing how you relate to it.
We identify the moments where you get hooked and pulled into worry, self-criticism, or avoidance. Then we build the awareness and skills to pause, create space, and choose a response aligned with what matters to you.
This work is structured and collaborative. You will not just talk about anxiety. You will practice responding differently to it.
The goal is not the absence of discomfort. It is the ability to move forward even when discomfort is present.
The goal is not to eliminate difficult thoughts, but to stop letting them run the show.
Grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT):
This work is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, an evidence-based approach focused on increasing psychological flexibility.
Instead of trying to eliminate anxiety, we strengthen your ability to notice thoughts without getting hooked by them. You learn how to make space for discomfort, clarify what matters to you, and take action aligned with your values.
The goal is not to control your internal experience. It is to build the flexibility to move forward even when it is uncomfortable.
The Approach
Through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT):
You learn to notice when you are hooked by anxiety
You practice creating space instead of reacting automatically
You clarify what matters most to you
You take action even when anxiety is present
Anxiety stops running the show
What Change Can Look Like
Over time, clients often notice:
Less time lost in mental loops
Greater ability to pause before reacting
More presence in conversations and daily life
Increased willingness to face discomfort
Increased values-aligned action
Change does not mean anxiety disappears. It means it no longer dictates your choices.
