High-Functioning Anxiety

High-Functioning Anxiety Therapy

High-functioning anxiety often goes unnoticed by everyone around you. You appear composed, productive, reliable, and successful—but internally your mind races, your body holds tension, and rest feels impossible. You carry a quiet pressure to manage everything perfectly, and even when you accomplish a lot, it never feels like enough.

Many of my clients come to therapy saying:
• “I can’t get my mind to shut off.”
• “I feel tense all the time.”
• “I can’t relax, even when I should be.”
• “I’m functioning, but I’m not okay.”

High-functioning anxiety often shows up as:

• overthinking or indecision

• pushing through exhaustion

• people-pleasing or overextending

• emotional eating or numbing behaviors

• trouble slowing down or resting

• irritability or emotional overwhelm

• difficulty being present

If this feels familiar, you’re not alone—and therapy can help you feel steadier, calmer, and more grounded.

Why High-Functioning Adults Struggle Quietly

When you’re competent and responsible, others rarely see the internal cost. You may feel pressure to hold everything together, manage emotional load for others, and never show the heaviness underneath.

As a neurodivergent and highly sensitive therapist, I deeply understand what it feels like to process the world intensely, carry tension in the body, and perform well while feeling overwhelmed internally.

You deserve support that recognizes both your strength and your struggle.

How Therapy Helps You Feel More Grounded and In Control

I use an integrative, mind-body approach that helps you break the anxiety cycle from the inside out. We’ll explore how your thoughts, emotions, and nervous system interact—and build tools that actually work in your daily life.

• calm an overactive mind
• reduce physical tension and stress cycles
• create emotional boundaries
• understand your triggers with compassion
• shift out of perfectionism and pressure
