Anxiety & Burnout Therapy in Columbia MD

When life feels flat, heavy, or like too much—let’s make space for what’s underneath.

Life feels numb inside, but you're supposed to keep functioning.

It’s not just stress. It’s something deeper. You wake up already feeling behind. You move through your day like you’re wading through fog—getting things done, but never really feeling present. You might seem like you’re holding it together, but inside, there’s this dullness, this weight.

Or maybe your mind won’t stop racing. You lie in bed replaying conversations or catastrophizing the future. You overanalyze everything, trying to stay ahead of whatever might go wrong. You keep yourself busy just to avoid the quiet, because when things get still, the anxiety gets louder.

You cancel plans. You snap at your partner. You shut down. Tasks that used to feel easy now feel overwhelming. You drift through your days, scrolling, working, checking the boxes—but you’re not sure what any of it is for.

And maybe there’s anger too—not the explosive kind, but the slow-building frustration that bubbles up when your needs keep getting buried. You don’t want to lash out or withdraw. But when everything feels so heavy and no one seems to notice, it’s hard not to.

It’s starting to affect everything. You second-guess yourself at work. You feel miles away from your partner or kids. Even rest doesn’t help. It’s like you’ve lost touch with your own aliveness—the part of you that used to feel joy, drive, connection.

This isn’t just burnout. It’s a deep disconnection from yourself. And you’re ready for something to change.

Real relief. Real clarity. Real presence.

Imagine moving through your day without the constant undercurrent of dread or exhaustion.
 You’re no longer white-knuckling your way through work or zoning out during conversations. Instead of waking up already defeated, you feel grounded—like your nervous system has finally exhaled.

Your mind feels clearer. Your body less tense.
 You’re not stuck in spirals or drowning in what-ifs. The buzzing in your brain quiets. You can actually hear yourself think. You sit with your child at the dinner table and feel yourself there. You stop mid-walk and notice the sky. Your life starts to feel like it belongs to you again.

You can express what you need—without guilt, without apology.
 You feel more connected to yourself and the people who matter most. Anger no longer explodes or gets buried—it starts to make sense. Instead of reacting, you respond. And instead of checking out, you show up fully—present, attuned, alive.

In our work together,

We’ll use Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to slow things down and listen to what’s really happening inside.

  • We’ll get curious about the parts of you that feel anxious, numb, overwhelmed, or angry.

  • We’ll uncover what those parts are protecting—often pain or pressure you’ve carried for years.

  • And we’ll help those parts soften, so you can access clarity, calm, and presence again.

You deserve support that goes deeper than surface-level coping skills.
This is therapy that helps you come home to yourself—and stay present in your life.

What you’re carrying makes sense. Let’s slow down and figure out what it’s trying to tell you.

FAQs

  • Yes. You don’t have to be in full crisis to benefit from therapy. If you’re feeling numb, stuck in your head, or like you’re just going through the motions, that’s a sign something inside needs attention. You deserve support before things hit a breaking point.

  • Absolutely. Anger is often a signal that something important has been overlooked, dismissed, or pushed down. In therapy, we’ll get curious about what your anger is trying to protect or express—not judge it. While the actions that come from anger may not always help, the feelings behind it make sense.

  • Yes. You don’t need to have the “perfect words” to start therapy. We’ll slow things down together. Whether your thoughts feel jumbled, heavy, or too fast to catch, I’ll help you untangle what’s going on underneath—one gentle step at a time.

  • That’s more common than you think—and it doesn’t mean you’re beyond help. Sometimes therapy stays on the surface or focuses only on coping skills, which can leave deeper struggles untouched. In our work together, we’ll go at your pace, using approaches like IFS and EFT that are designed to get to the heart of what’s really going on. We’ll focus not just on what’s happening, but why—so you can finally start to feel real relief.
