Therapy for anxiety in sacramento and online for all of california

Anxiety is one of the most common reasons why people seek counseling. And it’s no surprise why - in our tech age, we’re confronted daily with worrying news or global events plus feeling pressures like:

• being “reachable” at all hours

• overwhelm with our never-ending to-do lists

• trying to be a good partner/parent/sibling/friend/employee/manager

• figuring out when to fit in some exercise and healthy eating (which, of course, requires more $$ and time for prep and cooking)

• struggling with the guilt that we can’t do it all

• comparing ourselves to others who seem to have it all together - at least on social media

No wonder our stress levels are high, our bodies are tense, and our minds worry about all.the.things.

It’s exhausting!

While some amount of anxiety is a normal part of life, when anxiety moves from occasionally annoying to frequently unpleasant, miserable, or even debilitating, it’s too much. And, it’s too hard.

We get it, and we really don’t want you to keep struggling. While there’s a lot in life we can’t control, we can learn to manage anxiety and take back our lives. We'd love to offer you support and tools. Just reach out!

symptoms of Anxiety

Anxiety is often be misunderstood by well-meaning friends, family, and sometimes even by those who suffer.  So, let’s start making sense out of what you've been experiencing and moving toward the path of healing. A word of caution before we begin . . . it is very easy to read a list of symptoms and become convinced that you have a particular condition.

Listen to your heart and your gut as you review the list. Do you feel this way sometimes? Occasional anxiety can be a normal, even healthy, part of life. Or…

is anxiety causing real problems in your life?

• Do you feel like you worry CONSTANTLY? Like the thoughts in your head just won't stop?

• Do you feel restless, keyed up or on edge a lot? Do you often feel shaky or have that butterflies-in-your-stomach sensation?

• Are you easily irritated, tired frequently or having trouble concentrating?

• Do you worry A LOT about being embarrassed or judged?

• Do you have panic attacks?

• Do your muscles stay tense?

• Do you have trouble falling asleep or wake up worrying at 3am?

• Have you experienced something traumatic and feel like you can't get past it?

If you answered “yes”, therapy for anxiety can help

If you answered “yes” to several of the questions above, you’re probably feeling the pain of anxiety. The type and extent of the anxiety will affect how many of the above questions fit your symptoms. Social anxiety, panic attacks, and generalized anxiety disorder are a few of the common anxiety disorders that we can struggle to deal with in everyday life. 

If you still have questions or if you're utterly convinced we’re describing you, just reach out. We can talk specifically about what you're experiencing, sort out what’s happening, and work on helping you develop coping skills and tools.

overlap with anxiety and being a highly sensitive person (hsp)

There’s a lot of overlap! Because highly sensitive people are, by nature, deep thinkers who tend to spend a lot of time in our heads analyzing (and analyzing and overanalyzing some more) situations and experiences, our brains can easily veer toward anxiety.

If we’re feeling overwhelmed and stressed or are lax with our boundaries or our self-care, anxiety can take over.

You may even find that you live with a certain amount of anxiety as a sensitive person. As long as it stays manageable, it doesn’t have to be a big deal. But, if you find that the anxiety is consuming your time and energy, taking the fun out of life, or causing problems in your work or relationships, that’s too hard. We’d love to help you put the anxiety back in its place again.
