Anxiety, stress, chronic illness and ocd support
Helping You Find Relief from
Overwhelm, Fear, and Uncertainty
Compassionate therapy for persistent anxiety and stress
Anxiety, chronic stress, health anxiety, and OCD often show up as constant worry, mental looping, or a sense that your body and mind cannot fully relax. When you are living with chronic illness or ongoing health concerns, anxiety can feel even more consuming, your nervous system stays on high alert, scanning for threat.
Therapy offers a grounded, supportive space to understand these patterns, reduce distress, and help your body and mind return to a greater sense of safety and balance.
How therapy can help
Therapy for anxiety, stress, chronic illness, and OCD can help you:
reduce persistent worry and mental looping
calm nervous system hyperarousal
develop tools to manage intrusive or obsessive thoughts
ease health-related anxiety and fear of symptoms
improve emotional regulation and resilience
reduce burnout and emotional exhaustion
build a more compassionate relationship with your body
Support is paced gently and focused on relief, stability, and sustainability, not forcing change.
A nervous system informed approach
Anxiety, OCD, and chronic stress are not signs of weakness, they are signals from a nervous system that has learned to stay vigilant to protect you.
Our work may include:
understanding how anxiety and OCD patterns function
learning regulation tools grounded in polyvagal theory
working with avoidance, reassurance-seeking, or checking behaviors
addressing the emotional impact of chronic illness or uncertainty
integrating ACT-based strategies to build flexibility and choice
Therapy focuses on helping your system feel safer, steadier, and more supported over time.
Common experiences addressed in therapy
Clients often seek support for:
constant worry or overthinking
panic or physical anxiety symptoms
health anxiety or fear of bodily sensations
obsessive thoughts or compulsive behaviors
difficulty tolerating uncertainty
stress related to chronic illness or pain
emotional burnout from long-term coping
You do not need to “push through” these experiences alone, support can make a meaningful difference.
