DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

Always one step ahead of the worst-case scenario.

Chronic anxiety can feel like your brain and body are constantly bracing for something to go wrong. From the outside, you look capable. On the inside, you’re running on adrenaline. You might…

Hold yourself to standards you’d never ask of anyone else.

Feel your chest tighten or your heart race seemingly out of nowhere.

Lie awake running through everything that could go wrong tomorrow.

Say yes when you mean no, then quietly resent it.

Rehearse conversations before they happen, then replay them after.

Avoid anything that might bring on panic, until your world starts to shrink.

Anxiety isn’t a character flaw. It’s a pattern your mind learned to keep you safe, and it can learn a new one.

HOW CBT & ACT WORK

A dual approach to breaking the anxiety cycle

I combine two well-researched therapies, so you get both clearer thinking and a steadier relationship with your feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Identify and challenge catastrophic worry loops and automatic negative thoughts, and change the habits that keep anxiety going.

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Learn mindfulness and defusion skills so you can stop fighting anxious feelings and take action aligned with what matters to you.

Chronic & acute anxiety

Persistent worry, physical tension, and a mind that won’t slow down.

High-achiever burnout

Chronic & acute anxiety

Perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and people-pleasing that leave you running on empty.

Panic & phobias

Chronic & acute anxiety

Panic & phobias

Sudden adrenaline spikes, chest tightness, and the avoidance that follows.

Social anxiety

Worry that comes with rituals?

Panic & phobias

Fear of judgment, over-analyzing interactions, and self-doubt that holds you back.

Overthinking & rumination

Worry that comes with rituals?

Endless analyzing, second-guessing, and replaying that leaves you drained.

Worry that comes with rituals?

If your anxiety drives checking, reassurance-seeking, or intrusive thoughts, it may be OCD, which responds best to ERP.

Questions about anxiety therapy

Is online therapy effective for anxiety?

For many people, yes. CBT and ACT work well over secure video, and many clients find it easier to open up from a space where they already feel comfortable.

What’s the difference between CBT and ACT?

CBT helps you examine and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. ACT helps you make room for uncomfortable feelings so they stop running your choices. Used together, they give you more than one way through.

Can therapy help with panic attacks?

Yes. You’ll learn what’s happening in your body during panic, how to ride out the sensations, and how to stop avoidance from making your world smaller.

Is it anxiety or OCD?

They can overlap. If your worry comes with rituals, checking, or a strong need for reassurance, it may be OCD. We’ll sort that out together in your consultation so you get the right approach.

Do I need to be in crisis to start therapy?

Not at all. Many people start when anxiety is manageable but exhausting. You don’t have to wait until it gets worse.

Do you take insurance?

I’m an out-of-network provider. Many PPO plans, including Anthem, Aetna, Blue Shield, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare, reimburse a portion of session fees once your deductible is met. I partner with Mentaya so you never have to file superbills or paperwork yourself. We can check your benefits before we start.
