Anxiety Coaching in NYC — Support for Overthinking, Worry, Panic & Nervous System Dysregulation
A calm, practical approach to help you reduce anxiety, quiet your mind, and feel steady and in control again.
Who Anxiety Usually Affects (Especially in NYC Professionals & High Performers)
Anxiety doesn’t happen because you’re “too emotional” — it happens when your mind and nervous system have been carrying too much for too long.
Common Anxiety Patterns in High-Achieving Adults:
the overthinker who can’t shut your mind off
the one who carries invisible pressure
the person who anticipates everyone’s needs
the highly responsible one
the one who pushes through even when anxious
the person who “looks fine” on the outside but feels overwhelmed inside
Anxiety often affects people who are:
highly conscientious
emotionally sensitive or empathic
deeply self-aware but self-critical
perfectionistic or people-pleasing
driven and high-achieving
used to holding everything together
Common Signs of Anxiety (Mental, Emotional & Nervous System Symptoms)
Anxiety often builds gradually until you realize you're carrying more than your mind or body can manage.You might be experiencing anxiety if you’ve noticed:
racing thoughts or mental spiraling
constant worry about the future
difficulty relaxing or sitting still
feeling tense, wired, or on edge
emotional sensitivity or irritability
trouble sleeping or staying asleep
tight chest, shallow breathing, or restlessness
overanalyzing conversations or decisions
feeling overwhelmed by small tasks
catastrophizing or imagining worst-case scenarios
using caffeine, sugar, or scrolling to self-soothe
difficulty saying no or setting boundaries
If these feel familiar, you’re not broken — you’re anxious. And anxiety is fixable.
