Are you perpetually worried about various aspects of your life? Do you find it hard to relax or feel constantly on edge? Do you experience physical symptoms such as muscle tension, rapid heartbeat, sweating, or stomach discomfort? Do worries affect your sleep or eating?

We all experience anxiety at times. It is the body’s normal and natural response to stress, perceived threats, or danger. When we are faced with a challenging situation, anxiety can be adaptive. It can lead us to be alert, focused, and prepared. However, anxiety becomes a concern when it is excessive, persistent, or interferes with daily functioning and overall well-being.

Therapy for anxiety can address the following types of symptoms:

• Excessive worry

• Physical symptoms

• Feeling tense or on edge

• Anticipating the worst

• Irritability

• Restlessness

• A sense of impending doom

• Difficulty concentrating

• Overthinking or ruminating

• Difficulty making decisions

• Panic attacks

• Avoiding situations that trigger anxiety

• Seeking reassurance

We can work together to better understand the triggers for your anxiety, as well as develop and implement tools to help you cope more effectively and reduce your symptoms.
