Anxiety Therapy in Colorado
Experiencing anxiety is common.
Living an anxious life doesn’t have to be.
Is your anxiety becoming unmanageable?
Maybe it’s the inescapable feeling that something isn’t right, or the way your mind constantly prepares you for the worst-case scenario. You might be experiencing restlessness, racing thoughts, tension, or hypervigilance.
If your heart races just reading this, know that you’re not alone. Anxiety can feel like being stuck in a constant state of agitation, leaving you utterly exhausted.
Anxiety can trigger self-criticism, sleepless nights, intrusive thoughts, and physical symptoms like headaches, gut issues, and panic attacks. It’s a real problem, and you deserve the peace of a calm mind and body.
Your life doesn’t have to be ruled by fear and uncertainty. Anxiety therapy can help.
Together, we’ll work on:
Addressing underlying issues that may be contributing to your symptoms of anxiety.
Cultivating healthy coping strategies, such as mindfulness practices and grounding techniques.
Learning how to handle overwhelming emotions, stay present, and respond effectively to stressors.
Creating long-term resiliency and developing tools to navigate life’s stressors with ease.
Anxiety methods I use-
Mindfulness
Mindfulness therapy is an approach that helps you become more aware of your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations in the present moment—without judgment. For anxiety, mindfulness helps reduce reactivity and creates space between anxious thoughts and how you respond to them.
IFS
IFS is a gentle approach that views the mind as made up of different “parts,” each with positive intentions. In IFS therapy, you learn to understand and care for anxious parts rather than fighting or suppressing them, while strengthening your core Self—calm, compassionate, and grounded.
EMDR
EMDR is a research-based therapy that helps the brain process distressing experiences that are “stuck” and continue to trigger anxiety. Using bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps reduce emotional intensity and allows more adaptive beliefs to take hold.
