Anxiety Can Be Exhausting

Anxiety is an increasingly common part of life in today’s fast-paced and ever-changing world. While it’s natural to feel anxious in response to immediate stress, persistent and overwhelming fear, worry, or panic shouldn’t be ignored.

 

Left unaddressed, anxiety can impact your mental, emotional, and even physical well-being. If these feelings are interfering with your daily life, it may be time to seek professional support and guidance.

Common Symptoms of Anxiety

→ Excessive, persistent worry
→ Avoidance of people or places
→ Feeling on edge or restless
→ Fatigue
→ Irritability
→ Difficulty concentrating or overthinking
→ Trouble falling or staying asleep
→ Physical symptoms such as nausea, heart racing, shortness of breath

 

When anxiety begins to show up in these ways, therapy can be an effective and supportive place to start.

Support For Anxiety Relief

Anxiety therapy helps you understand what’s driving your anxiety and learn practical ways to respond when it shows up. Rather than focusing only on symptom relief, therapy addresses the patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that prolong anxiety.

 

I use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), emotionally focused therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions.

 

Together, we will build skills to increase awareness, self-compassion, and flexibility—so anxiety feels more manageable and life feels less restricted.

  • "Colleen helped me learn to drown out the noise of my own inner critic and reframe my thinking. There were certain narratives I had continually been subscribing to and she helped me realize that your thoughts are not always necessarily true. She is encouraging and very easy to talk to even if you are new to therapy - just like I was when I started out with her - and I can truly say she helped guide me to a much happier and better place in life."

  • "Colleen helped me through a really difficult time in my late twenties with navigating personal and professional difficulties. She is gentle and non-judgmental, but direct in her therapeutic approach. I appreciated her helping guide me to my own conclusions to help take responsibility over my own life."

    Former client, age 32

  • "I was going through a lot of things contributing to my burnout - getting married, working too many hours, and mood fluctuations that were tied to my hormonal cycle. After meeting with Colleen, she made me feel less alone, normalized my feelings, and helped me with setting boundaries at work and in my personal life. I also knew she went out of her way for me to consult with other health professionals to seek answers and get resources for my hormonal issues. I am so grateful for her."

    Former client, age 33

  • “Working with Colleen feels like talking to your best friend … but that best friend has an education and expertise in the exact areas you need. I personally didn’t receive the support I needed and deserved from my parents. I did receive it from Colleen”

    Former client, age 36

  • "Colleen helped me overcome my depression and anxiety and build stronger relationships with myself and my family. Above all, she's such a kind person who makes it incredibly easy to be vulnerable."
