My Approach as an Anxiety Therapist in San Diego
My approach goes beyond surface-level coping skills. Together, we'll work to get to the root of your anxiety, not just manage symptoms.
We’ll explore:
The roots of your anxiety: how past trauma, attachment wounds, and protective parts shape your current patterns
Your overall health: how sleep, movement, and nutrition influence your nervous system and anxiety symptoms
The nervous system: anxiety often keeps you stuck in sympathetic activation (fight-or-flight). I'll teach you body-based tools to bring your nervous system back into calm
Experiential therapy:
This holistic approach helps you not only understand your anxiety but actually feel the shift toward calm in your body.
