High-Functioning Anxiety

Are you a high-achieving professional or ambitious individual who seems capable on the outside but constantly feels anxious, exhausted, or “on edge”? You’re not alone. I specialize in high-functioning anxiety therapy for adults—helping clients navigate stress, perfectionism, and the pressure to perform while finding calm, clarity, and emotional balance.

What is High-Functioning Anxiety

High-functioning anxiety often hides behind competence and achievement. Clients may feel constantly “on,” overthink decisions, and struggle to relax—even when everything appears nearly perfect externally.

How Therapy Can Help

Who This Therapy is For

My Approach

High-functioning anxiety often develops in individuals who learned to cope by staying productive, capable, and in control. While these strategies may have once been protective, they can eventually lead to chronic stress, emotional exhaustion, and difficulty feeling at ease.

My approach to high-functioning anxiety therapy is thoughtful, collaborative, and nervous-system informed. Rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction, we explore the underlying patterns driving anxiety and self-pressure.

In our work together, we focus on:

• Identifying anxiety patterns, triggers, and internal pressures

• Reducing overthinking and mental hypervigilance

• Supporting nervous system regulation and emotional safety

• Building self-trust, flexibility, and sustainable coping strategies
