Anxiety Therapy on Big Island
Finding the Right Anxiety Therapy in Hawai‘i
You spend so much energy holding it all together for everyone else — your job, your family, your friends — on the outside, it looks like you're fineeeee. On the inside though, your mind is a like an internet browser with 47 tabs open and your body feels like it's on a perpetual vibrating plate.
The racing thoughts, the second-guessing, the “what if” it all goes bad spirals… it’s exhausting. The feeling of panic that creeps up when you're making even the smallest decision and chips away at your self-confidence... even more exhausting.
As an anxiety therapist in Kailua-Kona, Hawai‘i I'll give you a safe place to slow down, untangle the overwhelm and learn practical tools to calm your nervous system, quiet the chaos in your mind and body and finally breathe again.
On the outside, you look like you've got it all together. Inside? You're jittery and exhausted from the moment you wake up. Sound familiar?

What Anxiety Can Look Like (Even If You’ve Been Managing It for Years)
Anxiety doesn’t always look like panic attacks or constant fear. For many people, it shows up quietly. It's woven into daily life, decision-making, relationships, and the way your body responds to stress.
Over time, anxiety can start to feel like part of who you are rather than something that’s happening to you. It's gets to a point that you don't even know what it feels like to live without anxiety. Especially when you’ve learned to push through, stay productive, or keep it together on the outside. Anxiety can show up in many different ways—and if any of this feels familiar, you’re not broken or failing. Your nervous system has been doing its best to protect you.
You might be struggling with anxiety if you:
Feel constantly on edge, tense, or unable to fully relax
Overthink decisions and second-guess yourself, even about small things like what to have for dinner
Have a hard time feeling safe in your body or trusting your instincts
Feel emotionally overwhelmed or shut down when stress builds
Struggle with sleep, restlessness, or racing thoughts about things that happened six year ago
Feel responsible for keeping everything together—for yourself or others - And if you don't, you're letting everyone down
Notice anxiety impacting your relationships, boundaries, or communication
Use control, distraction, food, or busyness to cope with uncomfortable feelings

Anxiety Therapy That Works With Your Nervous System — Not Against It
Anxiety isn’t just excessive worry or negative thinking—it’s a nervous system that’s learned to stay on high alert. For many people, anxiety developed as a way to stay safe, prepared, or in control in the face of stress, uncertainty, or past experiences.
That’s why trying to “think your way out of anxiety” or force yourself to calm down often backfires. Real change comes from helping your nervous system feel safer and more regulated—so anxious thoughts and physical symptoms begin to ease naturally.
In therapy we focus on:
Understanding how your nervous system learned to respond to stress
Reducing chronic tension in your body and mind, overwhelm, and mental looping
Learning how to respond to anxiety instead of reacting and fighting it
Building a greater sense of calm, confidence, and self-trust in your mind and body
This approach supports lasting change without forcing positivity or pushing yourself beyond your limits.
