Anxiety

Anxiety can show up in many ways—racing thoughts, constant worry, tension in the body, difficulty sleeping, or a persistent feeling that something’s wrong. For LGBTQ+ clients, anxiety is often more than just a chemical imbalance or a response to daily stress. It can be rooted in deeper, long-standing experiences of not feeling safe, accepted, or fully seen.

You might be living with the effects of rejection, discrimination, internalised shame, or the stress of having to hide parts of yourself to feel safe. Sometimes, anxiety is a signal from the body and mind that something has been too much for too long—whether that’s navigating identity in unsupportive environments, managing complex relationships, or carrying the weight of past trauma.

In therapy, I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space to not only manage symptoms of anxiety, but to explore and understand what may be underlying them. We’ll work at your pace to build tools for calming the nervous system, develop more self-compassionate thinking, and address the deeper emotional roots that may be contributing to your anxiety.

You don’t have to carry it alone. Healing is possible—and you deserve to feel more grounded, safe, and connected in yourself and your life.
