You might be experiencing anxiety if you notice:
Anxiety is your nervous system trying to protect you. But when the alarm never shuts off — when worry feels constant, your body stays tense, and "what if" spirals control your life — anxiety stops being protective and starts being limiting.
Anxiety therapy at Mindful Willow Wellness helps you understand what's driving your anxiety, quiet the noise, and build a life where you feel grounded even when things feel uncertain. You don't have to white-knuckle your way through every day.
Types of Anxiety I Treat
Anxiety shows up differently for everyone. I work with a range of anxiety presentations.
-
Persistent, excessive worry about multiple areas of life — work, health, relationships, everyday situations — that feels difficult to control.
-
Excessive worry about having or developing a serious illness, often despite medical reassurance, that significantly impacts daily life.
-
Intense fear of social situations, judgment, or humiliation that interferes with relationships, work, and daily functioning.
-
Anxiety specific to high-stakes situations — presentations, athletics, testing, auditions — often tied to perfectionism and fear of failure.
-
Recurrent, unexpected panic attacks accompanied by persistent worry about future attacks or significant changes in behavior to avoid them.
-
Anxiety and eating disorders frequently co-occur. I specialize in treating both simultaneously for a more integrated, lasting recovery.
