Anxiety & OCD Therapy
You may be feeling overwhelmed by a significant change in your life right now - perhaps starting a new job, beginning college, welcoming a child, or considering the end of a relationship. These transitions can often bring up feelings of self-doubt and uncertainty about your place in the world.
Perhaps you've noticed yourself caught in cycles of overthinking - revisiting past events, dwelling on current concerns, or worrying about what might happen next. Your mind feels like it rarely slows down, leaving you feeling on edge and searching for a sense of calm amid the storm of your thoughts.
