Anxiety in your 20s and 30s? Yeah, it’s normal and solvable.
Signs You Might Be Dealing with Anxiety:
Anxiety can take several forms in in your 20s and 30s. It’s not just “feeling stressed”—it’s an all-out mental marathon that can creep into every part of your day. Here’s how you might know it’s hanging around:
Your mind won’t shut off – Trouble sleeping? Can’t seem to relax? Your brain’s stuck in overdrive with worry.
Can’t focus on anything else – You sit down to work or even to relax, but your thoughts won’t stop replaying every little thing that could go wrong.
Nervous energy and exhaustion – Yeah, it’s a paradox, but anxiety will have you feeling restless, tense, and mentally drained all at once. You’re worn out but too on-edge to rest.
Sense of doom – Anxiety will have you expecting the worst before anything’s even happened. You’re on red alert for bad things to happen.
Playing the “What If?” game – You’re always asking “What if?” and imagining worst-case scenarios.
Avoidance mode – You get a huge urge to dodge the stuff that makes you anxious. Crowds? Maybe not. That one email you’ve been dreading? Tomorrow sounds good.
If this sounds like you, know that it doesn’t have to be like this. Anxiety might be part of the game right now, but you don’t have to play by its rules forever.
While women are more likely to experience anxiety, men often neglect to treat their anxiety
Having too much anxiety is a medical condition, like high blood pressure or diabetes. There’s no shame in getting treatment for it.
I take a holistic approach to anxiety therapy. Together, we’ll look beyond the symptoms and explore the root causes—whether it’s past trauma, lifestyle habits like sleep and diet, or the impact of relationships. No matter what type of anxiety you’re facing—whether general, social, or a specific phobia—I provide a calm, compassionate space where you can feel supported as you work through your challenges.
Think You’ve Got Anxiety? Let’s Tackle It Together
If you’re feeling like anxiety has its claws in you, here’s some truth: you don’t have to live with it running the show. Therapy can change the game for your mental health, your relationships, and your work—without leaving you feeling stuck in constant panic mode.
Here’s what we’ll do:
Understand What’s Driving Your Anxiety – Together, we’ll figure out what’s really behind those anxious feelings. Knowing the “why” helps you control the “how” to get better.
Spot and Break the Patterns – Anxiety loves a routine, especially those negative thought loops. We’ll identify the triggers and start rewriting and unlearning those patterns so they don’t hijack your day.
Build Your Toolbox – Coping isn’t just about “staying calm.” I’ll help you find strategies that actually work for you—tools you can reach for when anxiety strikes so it doesn’t knock you off your path.

Hi I’m Ben, a former business operations manager turned therapist
Chances are, I used to feel the same way as you do right now. Prior to counseling, I worked in operations for nearly 10 years at companies like Uber and Gartner. During this time I was often exhausted, disconnected, and wondering if I’d ever find work that actually mattered to me. It took some deep, hard soul-searching, but I finally figured out one of my core gifts is to find gifts in others.
So I switched gears, went into counseling, and never looked back.
Now, as a licensed mental health professional, I work with 20 and 30 year old men like you to help you uncover what you really want, shift your mindset, and set intentional goals to create a life you actually look forward to. If you’re ready to stop settling, I’ve got the tools, structure, and support to help you make it happen. Let’s build a life you’re genuinely excited about.
