What anxiety looks like in Waterbury

Anxiety here often hides under “I’m just tired.” Your thoughts may race while driving on I-84, waiting in line at Stop & Shop, or trying to sleep after another long day. Your chest tightens during work calls, while paying bills, or when family expectations start to feel heavy. Maybe you stay composed through your shift at the hospital, school, or office, then crash once you are home. Traffic, weather changes, and everyday pressure can keep your system on edge. If you are not sure what you are feeling, we can map it together and find steps that fit Waterbury life.

How therapy helps

We keep therapy practical and compassionate. First we notice your signals—your breath, your jaw, your thoughts, your posture. Then we test small tools you can use before a stressful conversation, between tasks, or when worry builds at night. I combine clear thinking strategies with nervous system awareness so your body and mind begin to work together again. If you want deeper body-based support, I also offer polyvagal-informed tools and the Safe and Sound Protocol.

Sessions are available online across Connecticut, so you can meet from home, your parked car near Holy Land, or any quiet place where you feel grounded.

Support for Waterbury rhythms

Shift work, family schedules, and long commutes can stretch your energy thin. Add in unpredictable weather, crowded roads, and financial stress, and it can feel like you are running on empty. Together, we will design routines that fit your real life—short focus sessions for mornings, gentle resets after work, hydration and rest cues that last, and steady steps toward balance.

LGBTQ+ affirming therapy in Waterbury

You deserve therapy where you do not have to hide or edit yourself. Bring questions about gender, sexuality, relationships, family, or faith. You will not be asked to minimize your story or rush your process. We move at your pace and keep emotional safety at the center.

FAQs

Do you offer online anxiety therapy for people in Waterbury?

Yes, I work with clients in Waterbury and across New Haven County through secure, virtual therapy sessions. Whether you live downtown, near the Naugatuck River, or in nearby neighborhoods, therapy is accessible without needing to commute. Many clients find online therapy easier to maintain and more comfortable than in-person sessions. My goal is to make therapy feel consistent and supportive.

What does LGBTQ+ affirming therapy mean?

LGBTQ+ affirming therapy means you are fully supported in your identity, without needing to educate your therapist or hold back parts of your story. Whether you are exploring gender, sexuality, relationships, or personal growth, this is a space where you can be yourself, without judgment.

Do you work with trauma-related anxiety?

Yes. I specialize in helping adults manage anxiety that comes from trauma, family stress, or long-term overwhelm. My approach blends nervous system science, like polyvagal theory, with simple, realistic coping tools. Healing is not about forgetting your past. It is about learning how to live in your body again with steadiness and self-trust.
