Therapy for Anxiety, Panic, and OCD

You’re Doing It All — and It’s Quietly Unraveling You

You’ve mastered the art of holding it all together — but inside, you’re coming undone. This space is for the professionals, perfectionists, and people-pleasers who feel like they’re barely keeping up with the pressure they’ve grown used to. Whether it shows up as relentless overthinking, sudden panic, or looping thoughts and rituals that won’t stop, anxiety can take over your life in quiet, exhausting ways.

Offering therapy for anxiety, panic, and OCD in Oklahoma — using EMDR, parts work, somatic therapy, and intensives to support real, lasting change.

When High Functioning Isn’t the Same as Feeling Okay

You’re the one others count on. The fixer, the planner, the person who always gets it done. From the outside, you look composed, capable, and successful. But inside, your thoughts won’t stop. Your chest is tight. You’re constantly analyzing what went wrong or what could go wrong. And no matter how much you do, it never feels like enough.

You’ve built a life on being productive and reliable — but the pressure is relentless. Slowing down feels risky. Rest feels undeserved. Stillness is uncomfortable. Even when you try to relax, your brain keeps scanning, solving, preparing.

This isn’t just stress. It’s a nervous system in overdrive — and it’s not your fault.

What Anxiety Really Looks Like

Anxiety doesn’t always look like panic attacks. For high-functioning adults, it often hides behind the doing:

  • Constant mental checklists you can’t turn off

  • Replaying conversations, fearing you said the wrong thing

  • Second-guessing every decision, even small ones

  • A body that’s always bracing for something bad

  • Trouble sleeping, staying asleep, or waking up unrested

  • A need to overprepare, overdeliver, or stay in control

  • Pushing through exhaustion and ignoring your limits

Sometimes it builds slowly. Sometimes it erupts into panic:

  • A racing heart, tight chest, or difficulty breathing

  • Feeling detached, dizzy, or like you’re losing control

  • A sudden sense of dread — even when nothing’s wrong

And for others, anxiety takes the shape of obsessive thoughts or compulsions:

  • Thoughts that won’t stop, no matter how hard you try

  • Mental rituals or checking behaviors that feel urgent or necessary

  • Repetitive fears that something bad will happen unless you act

These experiences aren’t about weakness or overreacting. They’re signals from a nervous system that’s trying to stay safe — and stuck in overdrive.

Capable on the Outside. Spiraling on the Inside.

Many of my clients are high-capacity professionals: attorneys, educators, entrepreneurs, healthcare workers, mental health providers, and adults who carry significant responsibility. They’re used to being the strong one. But underneath the performance, they’re overwhelmed — and afraid to stop.

You might feel:

  • Like you’re constantly performing — even when you’re alone

  • Terrified to stop, because everything might fall apart

  • Disconnected from joy, pleasure, or even basic needs

  • Afraid that if you let your guard down, everything will unravel

Therapy offers a space to take the mask off. To stop bracing. To finally be honest about what it’s costing you to keep it all together.

How Therapy Helps with Anxiety, Panic & OCD

You don’t need another strategy for getting through the day. You need space to slow down and make sense of what’s happening underneath.

In our work together, we’ll:

  • Identify the unconscious patterns driving your anxiety and overfunctioning

  • Use EMDR and parts work to address the deeper roots — not just manage symptoms

  • Explore the protective roles you’ve taken on (like the achiever, the fixer, the caretaker)

  • Learn somatic tools to calm your body and regulate your nervous system

  • Address the obsessive thoughts, compulsions, or panic that feel out of control

  • Build self-compassion — even when you’re not “doing”

Therapy isn’t about fixing you. It’s about reconnecting with the parts of you that have been working overtime to keep you safe.

This Work is for You If…

  • You’re successful on the outside but feel lost or hollow inside

  • You’re constantly overwhelmed but can’t seem to stop

  • You’ve been called “intense,” “driven,” or “high-strung” — and it’s wearing you down

  • You experience panic, compulsions, or intrusive thoughts that feel impossible to control

  • You’re afraid to rest, slow down, or ask for help

  • You feel like you’ve forgotten how to be a person — not just a role

  1. There’s nothing wrong with being competent and driven. But you deserve to feel human, too.

Therapy Intensives for Anxiety

Sometimes weekly sessions aren’t enough to break longstanding patterns. I offer Breakthrough Therapy Intensives — private-pay programs designed for high-capacity clients who want deep, focused healing without dragging it out over months.

These intensives are ideal if you’re:

  • Burned out and can’t stretch therapy out over time

  • Facing a major transition, identity shift, or emotional crisis

  • Wanting clarity and momentum beyond what weekly therapy allows

Each intensive is tailored to your goals, your pace, and your nervous system — with room for the deeper work you’ve been putting off.

Why Seeking Peace Counseling

I specialize in working with high-capacity adults who are tired of holding it all together. My approach is grounded, relational, and emotionally attuned. I integrate EMDR, parts work, somatic therapy, and attachment-based support — not just to manage anxiety, but to understand what it’s been protecting you from.

If you’re ready to stop performing and start feeling, this work is for you.
