Regardless of if you come to therapy looking specifically to treat anxiety, I find that every one of my clients ends up working with anxiety at some point in our time together.

Anxiety can look like panic attacks, fear of public speaking, social anxiety, health anxiety, or obsessive thoughts, worry, and rumination. But oftentimes it also looks like avoidance, procrastination, bottling things up, or shutting down.

Anxiety shows up at work, in relationships, and in the middle of sex, as well as in Sunday scaries, on your period, and yes, quite often, directly alongside issues like depression.
