Anxiety therapy
Anxiety Therapy
Warm, structured therapy for adults who feel stuck in spirals, perfectionism, or old survival patterns — IFS-informed, trauma-informed, and skills-based.
Signs anxiety may be affecting your day
- I spiral after a text, a change in tone, conflict, distance, or uncertainty in a relationship.
- I replay conversations and search for signs that something is wrong.
- I get stuck overthinking decisions because I’m afraid of making the wrong choice.
- I understand what’s happening logically, but anxiety still takes over my behavior.
- I have trouble accessing calm, confidence, or clarity when I’m stressed or triggered.
- I overwork or try to do everything perfectly so I can feel safe, accepted, or good enough.
Anxiety / The Spiral Map
Watch one spiral — and where it can change.
Pick a moment and follow it through the four stages.

Trigger
They haven’t replied in three hours.
Body alarm
Chest tightens. Can't focus.
Anxious story
They’re upset with me. I did something wrong.
Reactive behavior
Reread the thread. Send a ‘just checking in.’ Ask a friend if it's fine.
The relief never lasts — and the loop runs again.
Show where it can change
- Body alarmNervous system first — calm the body before arguing with the thought.
- Anxious storyGet curious about the part that's writing the story, instead of believing it.
- Reactive behaviorTry a “good enough” step instead of another round of reassurance.
