Therapy for Anxiety
If you find yourself feeling frequently overwhelmed, confused and stressed, therapy for anxiety may be helpful for you. Anxiety is an extremely common phenomenon that most people have experienced at some point in their lives. In fact, some amount of anxiety can be helpful (and healthy) in motivating you to start your day, complete a task or maintain your relationships. However, sometimes this experience of time-to-time anxiety can expand to feel overwhelming, all-consuming or difficult to escape. I'm here to help.
