Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
A lot of the anxiety I see in my clients is hidden behind being capable. You’re the one who keeps it together, plans for everything, and stays a step ahead, and underneath it your nervous system never really learned how to rest. For many of my clients, especially those who are neurodivergent or highly sensitive, anxiety is tied to years of masking, over-functioning, or growing up in a home that wasn’t safe or predictable . We don’t stop at managing the symptoms. We look at what the anxiety is protecting, and we get to know the anxious and perfectionist parts of you and what they’ve been carrying. We also look at where the fear started, in your history and sometimes in your family line. Astrology can help us see the patterns and the timing of what you’re moving through. We go at your system’s pace.

Gail Kirk Poust
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anxiety is like an alarm that won't stop ringing: the 2 a.m. spirals, the racing heart, the what-ifs that take over an ordinary afternoon. Maybe it spiked during a season your body or life changed the rules such as pregnancy, postpartum, a health scare, the wait between appointments, or maybe it's been your quiet companion for years. Either way, you don't have to suffer through it. Together we'll calm your nervous system with skills you can use in the moment, and use CBT to answer the thoughts that fuel the alarm. If worry has turned into rituals or reassurance-seeking draw on ERP to break the loop. Relief isn't a personality change. It's a skill set, and you can learn it.

Chris Tickner
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, MFT
We all get anxious, it's a normal part of being human. Our brains have evolved to detect threats, both real and imagined. The problem is that the human brain has a hard time distinguishing between what is actually a threat in front of you (a bus about to run you over) and an imagined fear (giving a public speech). This is anxiety, and it can be devastating. If you have ever had a panic attack, you know how bad it can get. The good news is that recent evolution in the fields of psychology and neuroscience has given us powerful ways to overcome anxiety. Simple, effective, and powerful tools to reverse the impact of anxiety and stop it in its tracks. Anxiety is one of the most successfully treated conditions, and I would love to help you. Anxiety does not have to limit you anymore!

Moving from Reactive Defense to Executive Mastery
Anxiety and fear are natural survival mechanisms, yet when left unmanaged, they quietly narrow your life—paralyzing decision-making, draining vitality, and keeping your nervous system trapped in a state of high alert.
My approach to anxiety is rooted in a fundamental principle: we master fear not by avoiding, invalidating, or fighting it, but by learning to engage with it safely and intentionally. Avoidance offers temporary relief, but it ultimately reinforces the brain’s alarm system. True relief comes from systematically teaching your body and mind that you can face challenges without becoming overwhelmed.
An Integrative, Neuro-Informed Framework
Rather than applying a rigid, one-size-fits-all anxiety protocol, I synthesize insights from modern neuroscience, cognitive science, and Eastern mindfulness practices to help you regain grounded control:
Physiological Regulation & The Observer Mind: Drawing from mindfulness and neuroscience, I help you step into the "observer position"—observing and describing anxious sensations without getting swept away by them. This process helps integrate the executive functions of the prefrontal cortex with the primitive survival impulses of the limbic system, settling the body’s "biological alarm."
Cognitive Reframing: We identify and update the extreme interpretations, catastrophe-driven scripts, and implicit assumptions that fuel chronic worry, replacing mental noise with realistic, empowering perspectives.
Controlled Exposure & Desensitization: Guided by gold-standard behavioral research, we design strategic, manageable steps to help you face feared situations or reprocess anxiety-inducing memories in a safe, controlled manner—expanding your comfort zone without flooding your system.
Trauma-Informed Integration: When anxiety stems from unresolved past experiences or traumatic stress, we work gently to reprocess those memories, helping your nervous system recognize that the past is over and safety is present.
Action-Oriented Empowerment
Ultimately, the goal of our work is not merely to eliminate uncomfortable feelings, but to ensure that fear no longer dictates your choices.
Whether through meditative breathwork, cognitive restructuring, controlled memory reprocessing, or strategic behavioral action plans, we build a tailored toolkit designed for your specific life and goals. You will learn to quiet the internal alarm, access genuine presence, and take decisive action in alignment with what matters most to you.
