Therapy for Anxiety in Lacey, Washington

The most important part of anxiety therapy isn't a specific technique—it's the relationship we build. A strong therapeutic connection is one of the best predictors of lasting change. That's why I prioritize creating a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted—not judged for how anxiety shows up.

I meet you where you are. Whether you are navigating big life changes or struggling with family, work or academic stress, we'll start with what matters most to you. From that foundation of trust, real change becomes possible.

We'll explore what fuels your anxiety—past experiences, current stressors, or learned responses—so you can make sense of what's happening instead of feeling blindsided. I draw from multiple approaches, including CBT, mindfulness, and insight-oriented work, tailoring our sessions to what actually helps you. This isn't about fitting into one method; it's about finding what works for your specific patterns and life.

You'll learn grounding strategies, calming techniques, and realistic skills you can use at work, school, or during everyday stress—not complicated steps that add pressure. We'll work on recognizing anxious patterns before they take over, calming physical symptoms, shifting thought loops, and building confidence in situations you've been avoiding. These aren't cookie-cutter exercises; they're approaches we'll adapt together based on what your nervous system actually needs.
