Anxiety therapy for adults in Arizona

What anxiety can look like

Anxiety isn't always panic. Often it's quieter, and it can pass for being responsible, prepared, or high-achieving.

• Replaying conversations long after they've ended.

• Preparing for every possible way something could go wrong.

• Holding yourself to standards you'd never apply to anyone else.

• Feeling tired from a day where nothing much happened.

• Struggling more now than you used to, without a clear reason why.

• Needing things to feel certain before you can relax.

How I approach anxiety

Look at what the anxiety is doing

Anxiety usually has a job, like keeping you prepared or keeping you from being caught off guard. Understanding the job makes it easier to change.

Practical tools, tested in your week

We work on what actually shifts the pattern for you, and adjust when something doesn't.

Notice what's underneath

Sometimes anxiety is part of something else: ADHD, OCD, a major transition, or a body and schedule running on empty. We look at the whole picture.

Anxiety and what it overlaps with

• Anxiety or OCD? If your worries come with a strong pull to check, ask, or neutralize them, OCD may be part of it.

• Anxiety and ADHD: worry that grows out of years of compensating for an ADHD brain.

• Anxiety after a big change: a new baby, a move, a new role, or a loss.
