Is anxiety making it hard to function at work, at home, or in your relationships? Do you feel stuck in worry, on edge, or unable to shut your mind off no matter what you try? Maybe you’ve even tried counseling before and felt like it didn’t help as much as you hoped.

You are not alone! Therapy for anxiety can help you get relief and feel more in control of your life.

I offer in-person and virtual therapy sessions for anxiety to adults throughout the Iowa–Illinois Quad Cities region, including Bettendorf, Davenport, Rock Island, Moline, East Moline, and nearby areas. 

Signs You May Be Struggling With Anxiety

Anxiety shows up in both the mind and body. Common anxiety symptoms include:

• Nervousness, restlessness, or feeling constantly “on edge”

• Feelings of danger, panic, or dread

• Rapid breathing, trembling, or muscle tension

• Fatigue, weakness, or feeling worn down

• Racing thoughts or difficulty focusing on anything other than your worries

• Trouble falling or staying asleep

• Obsessive thoughts or compulsive behaviors

• Anxiety tied to a past event or trauma

If you recognize yourself in several of these symptoms, therapy for anxiety can provide you with tools, understanding, and support to find calm in your life.

Why Therapy for Anxiety Works

Therapy is often one of the most effective treatments for anxiety because it addresses the root causes, not just the symptoms. While medication can sometimes be helpful, therapy for anxiety helps you:

• Understand the underlying triggers that fuel your worry and fear

• Learn how to calm your body and nervous system

• Challenge unhelpful thought patterns and see situations in a less frightening way

• Build healthier coping skills and problem-solving strategies

• Gain confidence in your ability to handle stress and uncertainty

My approach is collaborative, evidence-informed, and tailored to your unique needs and history. Together, we’ll focus on practical tools you can start using right away.
