Presenting concern
Anxiety is not a character flaw. It is a system stuck on.
Most people arriving with anxiety have been managing it for years, usually well enough that nobody noticed. What tips them into therapy is the cost of the managing: the sleep, the over-preparing, the decisions that take three days and still feel wrong.
01Anxiety
Where the work starts
Usually with mapping. What sets it off, what you do next, and what that doing costs you. Avoidance is remarkably good at short-term relief and remarkably expensive over a year.
02Anxiety
The tools
CBT for the thoughts underneath, ACT for the ones that will not argue, DBT skills for the spikes, and mindfulness practice for the body. Erin will tell you what she is using and why, and will ask you directly what is working.
03Anxiety
What changes
Not that the feeling never comes. That it arrives, you recognize it, and it no longer decides your afternoon.
Signs this is the right page
- Racing thoughts at 2am
- Physical symptoms with a clean bill of health
- Over-preparing for ordinary things
- Avoidance that keeps growing
None of this is a diagnosis, and no outcome is guaranteed. It is a starting point for a conversation.
In Erin's words
What she would say if you called today.
Anxiety responds well to structure. We will find the thought that keeps firing, test whether it is actually true, and build practical skills you can use in the moment — not just insight you can admire.
