Anxiety, Fear, and the Overactive Alarm
Moving from Survival to Safety
Anxiety is rarely just "stress." It is a profound, systemic response—a persistent signal from your nervous system that you are not safe, even when your logical mind says otherwise. In my practice, we don’t just "manage" symptoms; we work to understand the roots of your fear and rewire the internal alarm that keeps you in a state of constant vigilance.
The Anatomy of Fear
Whether your anxiety manifests as a loud, racing heart or a quiet, paralyzing dread, it often stems from deep-seated patterns of protection. We explore:
The "What-If" Loop: Addressing the cognitive exhaustion of chronic worry and the hyper-vigilance that comes from expecting the next crisis.
Somatic Awareness: Understanding how your body stores fear—from the tight chest to the shallow breath—and learning to regulate your nervous system in real-time.
Attachment-Based Anxiety: Exploring how early relationships shape our current fears of abandonment, inadequacy, or "not being enough."
A Specialized Clinical Approach
With over 20 years of experience, I integrate deep-reaching modalities to help you find a grounded sense of peace:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): We use EMDR to target the "stuck" memories or past traumas that fuel today’s anxiety, allowing your brain to finally process fear into a sense of resolution.
Systems Theory: We look at the external "constructs" in your life—your family, your work, and social inequities—to see how your environment may be triggering or sustaining your anxiety.
IFS-Informed Parts Work: We get curious about the "anxious parts" of you. Instead of fighting them, we learn what they are trying to protect, allowing them to finally step back from the driver's seat.
For the "High-Functioning" Anxious
I have a particular passion for working with perfectionists, therapists, and leaders who appear composed on the outside while white-knuckling through their days. You deserve a space where you don't have to "have it all together"—a space where your fear is met with courage, curiosity, and clinical precision.

Psychworks Clinic
Psychologist, PHD
At PsychWorks Clinic, we understand that anxiety can show up in many forms — racing thoughts, constant worry, irritability, perfectionism, or the sense that your mind just won’t turn off. Anxiety can be exhausting, and it often makes people feel trapped between wanting control and fearing they’ll lose it.
Our team uses evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based strategies to help clients recognize the patterns that fuel their anxiety and develop practical tools to manage it. We focus on helping clients build emotional awareness, calm their nervous systems, and regain confidence in their ability to handle life’s challenges.
We see anxiety not as a sign of weakness, but as your mind’s way of trying to protect you — sometimes too much. Together, we help you retrain that instinct, find balance, and rediscover a sense of peace and presence in your daily life.

LAH Therapy Services
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., LMFT, CAS, EMDR-2
I have done training on anxiety and the fears that drive anxiety. Often it is related to issues that we can use EMDR to have movement. But regardless, it is important for the client to fee safe and be ready to do the work.

David B. Shaw, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
In my treatment for anxiety and fears, I provide a supportive space where I help you identify the root causes of your worries and catastrophic thought patterns. I utilize evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you replace irrational fears with realistic perspectives while teaching you practical relaxation and grounding techniques to manage physical distress. Through safe, gradual exposure to your triggers, I work alongside you to break the cycle of avoidance and help you regain lasting confidence.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
I have been treating anxiety symptoms for many years. Therefore, it's an area in which I have particular experience. You and I will examine the component parts of your symptoms such as emotions, behaviors, and thoughts. We’ll then examine how these parts are connected and how they impact each other. I’ll help you create changes to one or more of these parts to achieve your desired symptom relief. Helping people break free from their anxiety is one of the primary reasons I became a psychologist.
