Anxiety can affect concentration, sleep, physical comfort, relationships, and the ability to function consistently. We assess the pattern, identify contributing factors, and build a treatment plan around the symptoms that are getting in the way.

What we treat

  • Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)
  • Panic disorder
  • Performance anxiety — work, presentations, competitive settings
  • Social anxiety
  • OCD spectrum (referral coordination when intensive treatment is required)

Medication options

Several FDA-approved medication classes are first-line for chronic anxiety disorders. We pick the one whose side-effect profile matches your life, and we add augmentation strategies when appropriate.

Short-acting sedatives have a narrow role and are not a long-term answer. If you've been on one for years, we talk about that and build a durable plan.

Caffeine, alcohol, sleep debt, and overtraining mimic and worsen anxiety. We address them as primary variables.
