Anxiety, Burnout & Perfectionism
Anxiety can manifest in many ways.
For some, it looks like mental preoccupation, excessive worry, or panic attacks.
For others, it shows up as indecision, procrastination, perfectionism, or constant second-guessing.
It can also take the form of irritability, emotional disconnection, difficulty being present, dissociation, or using avoidance and escapism to cope.
Over time, these patterns often leave you restless yet exhausted; stuck in a loop of overthinking, overdoing, or shutting down. Beneath it all is a nervous system doing its best to protect you, even when that protection begins to feel like a barrier to calm or connection.
Therapy offers a space to slow down and understand what your anxiety is trying to communicate. By exploring the underlying roots together, we can create space for awareness and regulation — supporting your system’s natural capacity for balance and ease.
How we’ll work together
In our sessions, we’ll explore both the mental and physical aspects of anxiety: the thoughts that loop, the body sensations that arise, and the protective parts that have learned to stay “on” to feel safe.
If you see yourself in these words, I’d love to connect and explore how I can support you.
This work integrates:
Psychodynamic therapy to uncover underlying beliefs and origins of pressure or fear.
Nervous-system education to help you notice and regulate physiological responses to stress.
Trauma-informed and mindfulness-based approaches to support presence and self-acceptance.
