Therapy for Anxiety & Stress

When Anxiety Feels Like It’s Running the Show

Anxiety has a way of making itself feel permanent. The racing thoughts, the physical tension, the sense that something is always about to go wrong — it can feel like that’s just how you’re wired, as if relief isn’t actually possible. I want you to know that it is.

I offer therapy for all types of anxiety: the relentless worry of generalized anxiety disorder, the sudden overwhelm of panic attacks, the avoidance that comes with social anxiety, the spiral of health-related fears, and the quieter anxieties that have simply become background noise in your life. You don’t need a diagnosis to reach out. You just need to be ready for things to feel different.

I provide telehealth sessions for clients in New York, Connecticut, and Florida — so wherever you’re located in the tri-state area, we can work together.

Who I Work With

Anxiety looks different for everyone. I work with people who are:

• Caught in worry that feels impossible to turn off, even when there’s nothing specific to worry about
• Experiencing panic attacks or sudden surges of fear that seem to come out of nowhere
• Avoiding social situations, relationships, or opportunities because of what others might think
• Consumed by health anxiety — constantly monitoring symptoms, seeking reassurance, waiting for something to be wrong
• Navigating anxiety tied to a major life transition: a new job, a move, a relationship change, parenthood
• Dealing with performance anxiety that’s affecting their work, academic pursuits, or creative life
• Struggling with anxiety in the context of fertility treatment or pregnancy — you may find additional support on the fertility & IVF therapy and perinatal mental health pages
• Lying awake with racing thoughts, struggling to fall or stay asleep
• Aware that avoidance has been quietly shrinking their world — fewer plans, fewer risks, fewer yeses
• Processing anxiety that’s intensified after a loss, a trauma, or a health scare

What Therapy for Anxiety Looks Like

Our work together starts with understanding your anxiety — not labeling it, but actually mapping how it operates in your life.

Understanding your patterns. Before we can change anything, we look at what’s driving the anxiety in the first place: the thought patterns, the physical sensations, the triggers, and the behaviors (especially avoidance) that keep the cycle going. This isn’t abstract — we’re talking about the specific situations that send your nervous system into overdrive, and why.

Building coping strategies that work in real life. I’m not interested in techniques that only work in a therapy office. We’ll develop practical tools — ways to interrupt anxious spirals, tolerate discomfort, and respond differently in the moments when anxiety is loudest.

Addressing avoidance and reclaiming your life. Avoidance is anxiety’s best friend. The more we sidestep the situations that trigger us, the more the anxiety grows. Gently and collaboratively, we work to expand what you’re willing to engage with — so anxiety stops making decisions for you.

Working with the body. Anxiety is not just a thought problem; it lives in the body. I integrate nervous system regulation and somatic awareness into our work, because lasting change often requires reaching below the level of cognition.

Untangling anxiety from the rest of your experience. Anxiety rarely travels alone. It often connects to grief, identity questions, relationship dynamics, or long-held beliefs about your own worth and safety. I help you see those connections clearly, so we’re addressing root causes — not just symptoms.
