Anxiety Therapy in California

What Anxiety Can Feel Like

Anxiety doesn’t always look the same. You might be:

• Constantly overthinking or second-guessing yourself

• Struggling with racing thoughts or intrusive thoughts

• Feeling physically tense, restless, or on edge

• Experiencing panic attacks or sudden waves of fear

• Functioning on the outside—but exhausted internally

Many people I work with are high-achieving, thoughtful, and capable—but feel stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break.

How Anxiety Therapy Helps

Therapy isn’t just about talking—it’s about learning skills and changing patterns.

In our work together, you’ll learn how to:

• Understand your anxious mind

• Build emotional regulation skills

• Break cycles of overthinking and worry

• Respond differently to triggers

• Feel more grounded and present in your daily life

I use evidence-based approaches like MB-CBT (Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Somatic Therapy, Written Exposure Therapy, and other trauma-informed methods to help you create meaningful, sustainable change.

What to Expect

My approach to therapy is collaborative, structured, and tailored to you.

1. We Start With Understanding

In our first sessions, we’ll explore your experiences, patterns, and goals.
This helps us identify what’s actually driving your anxiety—not just the symptoms.

2. We Identify Patterns

Together, we’ll look at:

• Thought patterns (overthinking, catastrophizing, should thinking)

• Emotional triggers

• Behavioral habits that keep anxiety going

This creates insight—and insight can reduce your feelings of overwhelm.

3. We Build Practical Tools

You’ll learn strategies you can actually use in real life, including:

• Regulating your nervous system

• Reducing panic symptoms

• Managing your anxious thoughts

• Setting boundaries to reduce stress

• Reducing behavioral avoidance

4. We Go Deeper (When Needed)

For many people, anxiety is connected to past experiences, unresolved trauma, or aspects of their identities.

When appropriate, we may explore:

• Underlying emotional patterns

• Past traumatic experiences contributing to anxiety

• Societal discrimination’s contributions to anxiety

Who I Work With

I work with adolescents and adults who are experiencing:

• Anxiety & Depression

• Social anxiety

• Panic Attacks

• OCD

• Life transitions (career, relationships, identity)

• Chronic stress or burnout

I welcome clients of all backgrounds and identities and feel especially honored to support LGBTQ+ individuals in exploring their identities and the ways these experiences connect to their mental health.
