If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in overthinking, or constantly bracing for what might go wrong, you’re not alone. Anxiety is a common mental health condition affecting millions of men and women worldwide, but that doesn’t mean that nothing can be done. Standing Strong Within offers anxiety counseling that goes beyond surface-level coping strategies. As an anxiety counselor based in Eugene, Oregon, I am ready to walk alongside you as you explore what your anxiety is trying to communicate and find grounded ways to respond.

What Does Anxiety Look Like?

Anxiety can show up in many forms. You might experience it as restlessness, chronic worry, muscle tension, or an inability to relax. It may also look like difficulty concentrating, irritability, sleep disturbances, or even panic. For some, it’s a constant mental buzz; for others, it’s a feeling of being frozen or disconnected. These are all your body’s way of protecting you from perceived threats, even when they aren’t immediately clear.

So, How Does One Address Feelings of Anxiety?

Rather than focusing on fixing or silencing anxiety, I take a trauma-informed and somatic approach. This means we gently explore the root causes of your anxious patterns, working with present-moment awareness and body-based techniques to help regulate your nervous system. Through this process, you’ll build more tolerance for discomfort and develop practical tools to feel safe and centered in your daily life.
