When Anxiety Takes Over
Life can feel overwhelming when your mind never seems to rest. If you’re constantly worried, tense, or replaying conversations in your head, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to keep living that way. I specialize in helping women whose lives look “fine” on the outside but feel anything but calm on the inside. You may find yourself overthinking every decision, doubting your worth, or feeling frozen when it’s time to speak up or say no. You might notice that your fears — of judgment, rejection, or failure — keep you from showing up fully in your work, relationships, or daily life.
If you relate to this, I can help you learn how to quiet the mental noise and create more space for peace, confidence, and genuine connection. Using a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT, I’ll guide you through practical tools that help you understand and retrain the patterns that fuel anxiety. Together, we’ll uncover what triggers your fears, and build emotional skills so you can respond to stress with clarity instead of panic. My clients often describe the process as “life-changing” — because it helps them feel capable, grounded, and free.
I BELIEVE:
Anxiety isn’t a weakness — it’s your mind trying to protect you. We’ll teach it new ways to help instead of harm.
Mixed feelings are normal. You can want change and fear it at the same time.
Relationships are worth the effort. When you communicate with honesty and compassion, fear loses its grip.
You deserve to feel at ease in your own skin — confident, calm, and clear about what matters most.
Healing doesn’t have to be heavy. A little humor and humanity go a long way.

Anxiety or Fears
Karen Petren
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anxiety can be debilitating, yet people who don’t have it can unknowingly be dismissive of it. It can be so lonely. Working with an experienced therapist who truly gets it can radically change your perspective and dramatically improve the quality of your life. CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) are two treatment modalities I use to help you question your negative thoughts and begin to believe that you can decide how we you to feel.

The tools that I'll provide you with are tools that I have been perfecting over my career helping people just like you. I have dozens of them. My goal for you is to have at least five different tools and techniques that you can carry with you at all times. So no matter where you go, you'll always have access to discreet exercises that can quickly create relief. I am direct and solution focused. We'll work collaboratively to address the anxiety attacks that are bothering you right now. We'll start with what's going on in the moment and how to get control over your body and thoughts. For the past 10 years, my practice has been focused on helping people get rid of anxiety. I have attended trainings that teach leading edge techniques. We'll address what's going on in your brain when you feel anxious and how to get in touch with different parts of your brain to find relief. We'll discuss what happens to your body when fear takes over so you can learn how to quickly calm down. You'll gain resilience so that attacks don't continue in the future.

Anxiety or Fears
Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anxiety is not a feeling so much as a state of being. Anxiety attaches it self to a variety of emotional states, adding energy and intensity to our thoughts and actions. There is NO eliminating anxiety. It is hardwired within us, a biological necessity for our survival as a species. Why do we try so hard to destroy it? Because, we reply, it is unpleasant, and disruptive, to our lives. So the key then is to manage it, to reduce its intensity, and to better understand when, where and why it erupts within us.
