Why Online Anxiety Therapy with Me is Different
Bringing the Nervous System Back into Balance
We’ll use grounding tools, mindfulness, and body-based techniques tailored to you—not cookie-cutter strategies. Together, we’ll help your nervous system shift out of survival mode and into calm, centered presence.
Untangle Overthinking, Self-Doubt, and Old Emotional Knots
Whether it’s racing thoughts or deep-seated shame, we’ll get curious about what’s underneath your anxiety. Using Cognitive Restructuring, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Experiential Therapy, we’ll work through what’s driving those spirals—and build real self-trust.
Feel More Present and Confident in Your Life
Therapy isn’t just about managing symptoms—it’s about helping you live fully. We’ll work toward a version of your life where you can show up with clarity, purpose, and confidence.

What It’s Like to Work with Me
Therapy with Me Is…
Affirming & Non-Judgmental → I work with clients from all backgrounds, meeting you where you are, whether you’re brand new to therapy or have tried it before.
Structured but Flexible → You’ll get a balance of depth and strategy—deep emotional healing and day-to-day tools you can actually use.
Trauma-Informed & Holistic → I integrate EMDR, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, and experiential techniques to support lasting change—mentally, emotionally, and physically.
Who I Work With
I work with adults in New York and Connecticut who experience:
Generalized Anxiety (constant worry, racing thoughts)
Social Anxiety (overanalyzing interactions, avoiding situations)
Perfectionism & Self-Doubt (feeling like you’re never doing “enough”)
Trauma-Related Anxiety (past experiences making it hard to feel safe now)
High-Functioning Anxiety (outwardly successful, but internally exhausted)
I also specialize in helping LGBTQ+ individuals and those struggling with religious trauma, and those who have experienced complex interpersonal trauma, but my work is open to anyone looking for deeper healing and lasting change.

FAQs

Our first session is about getting to know you—what’s bringing you in, what anxiety looks like in your life, and what you want to get out of therapy. There’s no pressure to share everything at once. We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
-
If anxiety is interfering with your work, relationships, or ability to feel present in your own life, therapy can help. Even if you’ve tried self-help tools and they haven’t worked long-term, that’s where therapy is different—we go deeper to address the root causes, not just manage symptoms.
-
Anxiety isn't just about managing stress—it’s about understanding why your brain and body respond the way they do. Therapy with me goes beyond coping skills. We work on healing past experiences, changing unhelpful patterns, and building real confidence so anxiety isn’t running the show.

It depends on your goals and how deeply you want to work. Some people find relief in a few months, while others choose to work longer to create deeper, lasting change. We’ll discuss your needs and what makes the most sense for you.
