Online Anxiety Therapy in California
When worry, overthinking, and anxiety start taking over, you don't have to manage it alone.
Anxiety can show up in many different ways.
You may find yourself constantly worrying about what could go wrong, replaying conversations in your mind, having difficulty relaxing, or feeling like your thoughts simply won't turn off.
For some people, anxiety feels emotional. For others, it can feel physical—racing thoughts, tension, restlessness, difficulty sleeping, or a constant sense that something isn't quite right.
Sometimes you may not even know why you're anxious. You just know that you're tired of feeling this way.
Therapy can help.
How Anxiety Can Affect Your Life
Anxiety can influence much more than your mood. It can affect your relationships, confidence, work, sleep, decision-making, and ability to enjoy everyday life.
You may recognize yourself in some of these experiences:
Constant worrying or overthinking
Feeling overwhelmed or emotionally exhausted
Difficulty relaxing or being present
Fear about the future
Replaying conversations or situations in your mind
Avoiding situations because they make you anxious
Difficulty making decisions
Feeling tense, restless, or on edge
Anxiety affecting your relationships
Trouble sleeping because your mind won't slow down
You may also appear completely capable and successful to the people around you while privately struggling with anxiety.
How Therapy for Anxiety Can Help
Therapy provides a place to understand what's contributing to your anxiety rather than simply trying to push the feelings away.
Together, we can identify patterns in your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, and experiences that may be keeping the anxiety going.
Depending on your individual needs, our work may include learning ways to manage anxious thoughts, developing healthier coping strategies, improving emotional regulation, understanding triggers, setting healthier boundaries, and changing patterns that no longer serve you.
My approach is collaborative and tailored to you rather than following the same formula for every client.
Anxiety and Past Experiences
Sometimes anxiety is connected to experiences from the past.
A difficult childhood, painful relationship, loss, betrayal, traumatic event, or other distressing experience can continue to influence how safe you feel and how you respond to situations today.
When appropriate, we may explore whether past experiences are contributing to your current anxiety.
I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and for clients who may benefit from it, we can discuss whether EMDR could be incorporated into treatment.
You Don't Have to Wait Until Anxiety Becomes Overwhelming
Many people wait until they're struggling significantly before reaching out for therapy.
You don't have to wait for a crisis.
Therapy can also be a place to understand yourself better, recognize patterns earlier, strengthen coping skills, and develop healthier ways of responding to stress and uncertainty.
