Therapy for Anxiety & Overwhelm

Relief from overthinking, overwhelm, and emotional exhaustion.

You might relate if…

Anxiety doesn’t always look like panic.
Sometimes it looks like perfectionism, people-pleasing, or constantly feeling “off.”

You might be here because:

Your mind races, even when your body is exhausted

You feel on edge or disconnected, like you're never really at ease

You carry shame for not being able to “just relax”

You overthink everything, but still feel like you’re getting it wrong

You’ve spent years making yourself small, afraid to take up space

What therapy with me feels like

Healing doesn’t happen through fixing.
It happens through feeling, remembering, and reconnecting - at a pace that feels safe

In our work together, you can expect:

A soft, steady rhythm - no pressure to “perform”

Practices that support both mind and body

A space where shutdown, spirals, and silence are welcome

Curiosity, not judgment — and compassion, not quick fixes

Co-regulation and nervous system support to help you feel more grounded, present, and whole

What we’ll explore together

Understand your patterns

We’ll gently explore the past experiences and survival strategies that shaped your anxiety — so you can begin to unlearn what no longer serves you.

Co-regulate and rebuild safety

Together, we’ll practice tools like grounding, breathwork, and emotional tracking to help you navigate overwhelming moments with more ease

Shift into self-trust

As you reconnect with your body and your needs, you’ll begin to move from self-abandonment to self-compassion — and from coping to living

Hi, I’m Laura -

I’m a Registered Psychotherapist and the founder of Existence Therapy, where I specialize in working with individuals who’ve spent years living in survival mode – constantly “on,” overthinking, or shut down and disconnected.

My approach is trauma-informed and nervous-system aware. That means we don’t just talk about your anxiety – we slow things down, explore what’s happening in your body, and work together to build internal safety.

If you’ve been stuck in loops of worry, people-pleasing, or emotional burnout – you’re not broken. You’ve just been doing your best to survive.
Let’s help you find a new way to feel, cope, and connect.
