When anxiety runs the day
On paper you’re doing well. Inside, it can feel like your mind won’t stop—racing thoughts, what-ifs, trouble sleeping, a tight chest or a constant “on” switch. You may replay conversations, over-prepare, avoid, or push through while feeling tense and exhausted.
Anxiety can crowd out ease and presence. It strains relationships, hijacks sleep and focus, and turns small decisions into high stakes, especially when responsibilities are complex.
When anxiety is ongoing, it can start to feel like part of who you are rather than something you’re experiencing. Many high-functioning professionals describe the pressure to “hold it all together” while privately feeling like they’re on the edge of burnout.
How Anxiety Therapy in Santa Monica Can Help
In therapy, we create consistent space to slow down and listen inward. With a somatic and relational approach, your nervous system learns new pathways so your mind can settle, your body can exhale, and you can respond (not just react) in the moments that matter.
Fewer spikes and spirals; more steadiness day to day
Better sleep and an easier time turning “off”
Clearer focus and decision-making under pressure
Skills to navigate triggers and uncertainty
More ease in conversations and relationships
Greater self-trust and confidence in handling challenges
A stronger sense of calm that holds, even in stressful moments

Gentle, practical somatic practices for settling and grounding

Attachment-informed work that strengthens safety in relationships
Clear goals, check-ins on what’s shifting, and small homework between sessions
