Anxiety Therapy in Washington
Anxiety often isn’t just about worry or stress. Many adults I work with understand why their anxiety exists, yet still feel stuck in patterns of overthinking, hypervigilance, or emotional overwhelm.
If your mind knows you’re safe but your body doesn’t feel that way, anxiety can feel confusing, frustrating, or exhausting. Therapy offers a space to slow down, understand what your anxiety is protecting, and gently help your nervous system feel more settled and supported
When Anxiety Feels Like It’s Always There
Anxiety doesn’t look the same for everyone. You might notice:
– Constant overthinking or mental looping
– A sense of being “on edge” even during calm moments
– Panic or sudden physical symptoms
– Difficulty resting or slowing down
– People-pleasing or fear of disappointing others
– Perfectionism or harsh self-criticism
– Feeling disconnected from your body or emotions
For many people, anxiety is the nervous system’s attempt to stay safe after experiences of stress, trauma, or emotional overwhelm.
A Trauma-Informed Approach to Anxiety
From a trauma-informed perspective, anxiety isn’t something that’s broken or wrong. It’s often a learned response shaped by past experiences, chronic stress, or environments where safety wasn’t consistent.
Rather than trying to “get rid of” anxiety, therapy focuses on understanding its role, softening its intensity, and helping your nervous system learn that it’s safe to respond differently.
How Anxiety Therapy Can Help
In therapy, we work at a pace that feels supportive and collaborative. My approach integrates trauma-informed care, EMDR, somatic (body-based) therapy, and mindfulness to help:
– Reduce the intensity of anxious reactions
– Increase nervous system regulation
– Shift deeply held beliefs that drive anxiety
– Build a stronger sense of internal safety
– Develop new ways of responding that feel natural rather than forced
Over time, many clients notice they feel calmer, more grounded, and less controlled by anxiety
