anxiety

for when your nervous system won't settle

Anxiety isn't always a racing heart or a panic attack. Sometimes it's a low hum that never quite stops. A body that braces before the conversation has even started.

I offer individual therapy for adults in Boulder, Colorado, and I work with anxiety at the level where it actually lives: in the nervous system, not just in thought. My goal isn't to help you manage it better. It's to help your system finally feel safe enough to let it go.

anxiety

this might be right for you if...

  • The anxiety has started to feel like just who you are
  • Previous therapy helped you understand the pattern but didn't change it
  • You're ready to work at the level of the nervous system, not just the narrative
  • Your system stays activated long after the stressor has passed
  • Rest feels unavailable, even when nothing urgent is happening

sessions and pricing

I'm private pay only, which means our work is never shaped by insurance timelines or approval requirements. Sessions are $140 for 50 to 55 minutes. A free 15-minute consultation is available before any commitment.

You don't need to have it figured out before you contact me. The first step is simply a conversation, and I'd be honored to be part of what comes next for you.

frequently asked questions

Why do I understand my anxiety so well but still can't stop it?

Understanding and changing are two different processes that happen in two different parts of your system. Insight lives in the mind. Anxiety lives in the nervous system. You can have complete clarity about where it came from and why it works the way it does, and your body can still respond as if the threat is current. That gap is exactly what we work with.

How long does it take to see a change in anxiety at the nervous system level?

It varies depending on the complexity and history of what you're working with. Some people notice shifts within a handful of sessions. Others work through layered patterns over a longer period. I don't operate on a fixed timeline. The pace is determined by what your system actually needs, not a program.

What does an anxiety therapy session actually feel like?

Sessions are slow and collaborative. I track what's happening in your body as we talk, not just what you're saying. You won't be asked to do breathing exercises or fill out worksheets. We stay present with what's actually happening for you in the room, and work from there.
