Make it stand out
Anxiety Therapy in Denver, CO
Anxiety is not just “in your head”
Often, anxiety makes sense in the context of:
Past experiences where it really wasn’t safe to relax
Growing up in a home where you had to monitor other people’s moods
Trauma, neglect, or chronic stress that taught your nervous system to stay on alert
Identities that have been marginalized, targeted, or misunderstood
In our work, we don’t pathologize your anxiety. We get curious about:
How it began
What it’s trying to prevent
Where it lives in your body
What it needs now
Is your nervous system rarely calm?
Anxiety can look like:
Constant worrying and “what if” thinking you can’t turn off
A tight chest, racing heart, or buzzing body
Trouble sleeping, or waking up already tense
Over‑preparing, people‑pleasing, or perfectionism that never feels like enough
A sense that something bad is about to happen—even when nothing is obviously wrong
You might be high‑functioning on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or on edge on the inside.
Anxiety therapy is a place to understand what’s happening in your mind and body, and to explore what your anxiety might be trying to protect you from.
How I work with anxiety
I offer trauma‑informed, psychodynamic therapy that tends to both your inner world and your nervous system. I may integrate:
Mind‑body awareness (noticing sensations and patterns without judgment)
IFS‑informed “parts work” (meeting the anxious part rather than fighting it)
EMDR‑informed tools when anxiety is connected to specific memories or experiences
Together, we aim to:
Help your body find more moments of regulation and safety
Understand the roots of your anxiety (not just manage symptoms)
Loosen the grip of perfectionism, people‑pleasing, or over‑functioning
Create more room for rest, ease, and choice
What you might notice over time
While every journey is different, many people describe:
Fewer spirals into worst‑case scenarios
Less self‑criticism and more self‑understanding
An increased ability to say “no” and set boundaries
A nervous system that feels less constantly “on”
You don’t have to erase your anxiety to relate to it differently.
