Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Do you spend a lot of time worrying about work, relationships, health, finances, or what might go wrong?

Maybe your mind constantly jumps from one worry to the next. You may have trouble turning your thoughts off, find yourself seeking reassurance, or feel tense, restless, or on edge much of the time.

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) involves persistent, difficult-to-control worry that can interfere with your everyday life. Even when things are going well, it can feel difficult to relax because your mind is already preparing for the next problem.

Therapy can help you understand your patterns of worry and learn new ways of responding to anxious thoughts and uncertainty. I use CBT, exposure therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients reduce avoidance, build confidence in their ability to cope, and spend less time feeling controlled by anxiety.

You don't have to wait until you feel completely certain or worry-free to start living the life you want. Therapy can help you make more room for the things that matter to you and learn effective skills to cope when you’re overwhelmed.
