Anxiety Isn’t Always Obvious

You may not call it anxiety. You may just feel off—irritable, restless, scattered, or emotionally drained. You get things done, show up for your people, and handle what’s expected. But underneath it all, something feels unsettled. You're tired, wired, and rarely feel like you can fully exhale.

This is what high-functioning anxiety often looks like.

It doesn’t always show up in obvious ways. It hides behind perfectionism, productivity, people-pleasing, or the constant drive to stay one step ahead. It can be quiet—but persistent.

At Seaside, I work with women who are carrying anxiety in ways the world doesn’t often notice.

You might be:

• Overthinking every conversation—even days later

• Struggling to fall asleep or waking up already tense

• Feeling guilty for resting, even when you’re exhausted

• Constantly second-guessing yourself

• Avoiding situations that might make you feel overwhelmed

• Snapping at your partner or kids, then immediately feeling bad about it

And yet, from the outside, you seem composed.

You’re the one people come to for advice, help, and support. But inside, you’re running on empty.

✨ What You’re Feeling is Valid

You don’t need to have a panic attack or hit a crisis point to seek support.

Anxiety can be subtle. It can be chronic. And it can be so exhausting.

Therapy offers space to sort through the noise.

It’s a pause—a moment of reflection.

Not to fix you. Not to judge you.

But to support you in better understanding yourself, your nervous system, and what you truly need.

🧠 How Therapy Helps

At Seaside, therapy is collaborative, gentle, and real.

We’ll explore:

• Where anxiety lives in your life—your thoughts, your body, your habits

• How past experiences may be impacting the present

• Practical ways to manage overstimulation, self-doubt, or emotional overload

• Boundaries that protect your peace

• Tools to help you self-regulate and feel more emotionally grounded

My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mind-Body practices—so the collaborative work we do together supports your whole self.

You don’t have to keep powering through.

You don’t have to keep carrying it all alone.

Therapy offers a space to breathe. To reflect. To feel seen. And to remember that you matter too.

If anxiety has been showing up quietly but persistently in your life—therapy can help.
