What anxiety looks like in American Fork

Anxiety in American Fork often shows up as a busy mind paired with a body that feels tense all the time. Your thoughts might loop during the commute toward Lehi or Salt Lake, while sitting in traffic on I-15, or when you finally sit down at night and your brain decides it’s time to plan, replay, and problem-solve. You might notice tight shoulders, jaw clenching, shallow breathing, stomach knots, or a restless edge that makes it hard to relax.

Some people hold it together through work, parenting, school, or caretaking, then crash once the day ends. Others wake up with dread and spend the day pushing through. High standards, full schedules, and the pressure to keep up can keep your nervous system stuck in alert mode. If you’re not sure what you’re facing, we’ll map it together and find steps that fit life in American Fork.

How therapy helps

We keep therapy grounded and gentle. First, we notice your patterns, breath shifts, tension signals, avoidance habits, and the thought spirals that steal your focus and sleep. Then we test tools you can use in real moments, before a hard conversation, between responsibilities, or when bedtime turns into worry time.

I combine CBT strategies with nervous system regulation so you can think more clearly and feel more settled in your body. If you want more body-based support, I also offer polyvagal-informed tools and the Safe and Sound Protocol. Sessions are online across Utah, so you can meet from home, your office, or any private spot that feels workable.

Support for American Fork life

Shift work, family caregiving, unpredictable weather, and the pressure to keep things running can all affect sleep and mood. We’ll design routines that fit your real life. That might include grounding before busy mornings, winding down after late nights, steady hydration and meal cues, and practical ways to break the all-or-nothing cycle of productivity.

LGBTQ+ affirming therapy in American Fork

You deserve care where your whole self fits. Bring questions about gender, sexuality, relationships, family, dating, or faith shifts without needing to explain or translate your experience. You won’t be asked to minimize your story or hide what matters most. We’ll go at your pace and keep safety and authenticity at the center of the work.

FAQs

Is online anxiety therapy available for people in American Fork?

Yes. I work with adults throughout American Fork and Utah County using secure online therapy sessions. Whether you’re staying local or commuting toward Lehi, Draper, or Salt Lake, online therapy makes support easier to access without a waiting room or extra drive time. Many clients prefer virtual sessions because privacy feels simpler and scheduling is easier.

What makes your therapy LGBTQ+ affirming?

Affirming therapy means you don’t need to edit yourself. You won’t have to educate your therapist or shrink parts of your story to feel accepted. We can talk openly about gender, sexuality, relationships, family dynamics, belonging, and stress with warmth and respect, so you can focus on what you need.

Do you help with anxiety related to trauma or long-term stress?

I help with anxiety tied to long-term stress and a nervous system that’s been stuck in high alert for too long. We’ll work on both the thought side of anxiety and the body side, so you can reduce spirals, sleep better, and feel steadier day to day. I often blend CBT tools with nervous system regulation, and if it’s a fit, we can also integrate polyvagal-informed tools and the Safe and Sound Protocol for added support.
