Many of us think of anxiety as something we just have to "deal with" to get through the day. I get it—sometimes it feels like a necessary tradeoff to meet expectations, whether those are our own or someone else's. But the truth is, living with constant anxiety can take a significant toll over time, even if it feels like you're holding it together on the surface.
Anxiety often shows up as a relentless inner voice, questioning whether you're doing enough or if you might be letting someone down. It can feel like a never-ending cycle of worry, second-guessing, and pressure to keep everything together. If you’re also someone who strives for perfection, these feelings can multiply—pushing you to overcommit, overthink, and overwork until you’re completely overwhelmed. It’s exhausting, and asking for help can feel like admitting defeat, even when you’re nearing a breaking point.

IF ANY OF THIS SOUNDS FAMILIAR – RACING THOUGHTS, CONSTANT WORRY, OVERTHINKING EVERY DECISION, FEELING PARALYZED BY INDECISIVENESS, TENSION YOU CAN'T SHAKE, RESTLESSNESS, – YOU MIGHT BE DEALING WITH ANXIETY.
The real challenge with anxiety is how it can make us tie our sense of worth to how well we manage or control everything around us, leading to constant stress and eventual burnout. When we’re stuck in this cycle, we often focus more on avoiding failure or meeting expectations than on what truly matters to us. We might find ourselves consumed by worry about how others perceive us or endlessly striving to meet unrealistic demands, leaving little space to tune into our own needs. Over time, this can drain our motivation, rob us of the joy in the things we once loved, and leave us feeling disconnected or unfulfilled.

By doing so, you can build a more balanced, fulfilling life that feels aligned with your values.
Our worth as individuals is not determined by how much we achieve or how perfectly we handle everything in life. When we’re consumed by worry and driven by external pressures, we lose sight of what truly fulfills us. Through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we’ll work together to explore the beliefs fueling your anxiety, shift unhelpful thought patterns, practice self-compassion, and focus on what matters most to you.
