Anxiety Therapy
Anxiety often shows up in ordinary moments, replaying a conversation on the drive home, scanning for what might go wrong, or feeling unable to relax even when nothing urgent is happening.
You may understand why you feel this way and still find yourself caught in the same loops. Therapy can help slow those patterns down enough to notice what is happening before the reaction takes over.
I provide virtual anxiety therapy for adults in Chico and throughout California.
