However you landed here, I’m so glad you did. Read on to see if my anxiety disorder services might help you.
Anxiety is a normal part of life. It is a natural response to stressful situations that warns us of danger and prepares us to fight back or get out. However, overwhelming, unexpected, or constant anxiety likely indicates the need for professional support.
Because of excessive or unpredictable anxiety, you may:
Feel emotionally, mentally, or physically exhausted
Avoid people, situations, or places out of fear they might trigger your anxiety, even if engaging with them is necessary (e.g., leaving your house to run an important errand) or in alignment with your goals (e.g., giving a presentation to advance your career)
Overengage in behaviors that help you feel better in the moment (like eating, drinking alcohol, watching movies/series, playing video games, shopping etc.) and feel frustrated or disappointed with yourself afterwards
Snap or get easily annoyed at family, friends or colleagues, leading to arguments or unwanted distance in your relationships
Feel as if you can’t enjoy your life and wonder if things will always be this difficult
