Anxiety and Overthinking

Anxiety can look like replaying a conversation long after it ended, bracing for what might go wrong, or feeling irritable when you finally get a moment to yourself. It can also show up as people pleasing. You say yes to keep the peace, then spend the rest of the day second-guessing what you said or wondering how to get that time back. Comparing yourself to others can add another layer of doubt, especially when it seems like everyone else is handling things more easily.

In therapy, we can look at what your mind is trying to prepare you for and how those habits affect your choices. We might notice when a worry points to something you can act on and when you’re getting pulled into the same loop. We can also explore what makes saying no or letting a decision stand feel risky.

Depending on what brings you in, we might practice a boundary, work through a decision you’ve been avoiding, or find a way to give your attention back to the present. We’ll start with the situations where you most want more room to think and choose.
