Our Approach to Supporting Anxiety

Understand Anxiety

We begin by exploring how worry, tension, and panic are experienced in your body and daily life. Identifying these patterns can reduce distress and help us collaboratively set clear, meaningful goals for therapy.

Somatic Therapy

We will incorporate somatic-informed techniques to help you tune into your body's physical responses to anxiety. By gently tracking physical sensations and practicing grounding exercises, we work together to release stored tension and support nervous system regulation.

EMDR Processing

When past experiences contribute to present-day anxiety, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can help process and reduce the emotional intensity of those memories, making current triggers feel more manageable.
