Therapy for Anxiety & stress in ny & nj.
Learn to ride the waves of anxiety -without drowning.
You know the constant overthinking, “what-ifs,” and self-criticism are making your life harder—but you’re not sure how to stop.
MAYBE YOU…
Feel like your mind never shuts off, and you always have to be two steps ahead—planning and preparing for the worst.
Keep showing up, getting things done, being “the strong one”… but inside you're exhausted and just want a break.
Say yes when you mean no, afraid that setting boundaries might disappoint someone or push them away.
Worry that something is wrong with you because everyone else seems to handle life better or move forward faster.
Are stuck in a loop of indecision, trying to figure out the “right” move but ending up more anxious and paralyzed instead.
Think you should be able to handle it on your own, and feel ashamed for even thinking about asking for help.
Feeling overwhelmed doesn’t mean you’re broken—it means your system has been on high alert for too long.
HOW I CAN HELP
Helping you find the source of your anxiety & get out of survival mode.
In our work together, we’ll start by slowing things down and getting a clearer picture of what’s actually going on. We’ll look at the specific moments where you feel most overwhelmed, what you've already tried to manage, and how those patterns show up across different parts of your life. From there, we’ll make a game plan—something practical and doable, so you're not trying to change everything at once.
I’ll also help you understand why your nervous system reacts the way it does and teach you ways to settle it when you feel triggered or on edge. Over time, you can learn to recognize the physical signs of stress and anxiety earlier, and we’ll practice real tools to help you feel more grounded and in control—even when things are messy. We’ll also talk about support: who’s in your corner, how you ask for help, and how to stop thinking you have to handle it all alone.
Your anxiety isn’t a flaw—it’s information.
Let’s tune into what it has been trying to tell you.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much anxiety is normal?
Some anxiety is totally normal—it’s your brain’s way of keeping you safe and alert. But when it feels like your mind never shuts off, when you’re always bracing for something bad to happen or you’re too overwhelmed to make simple decisions, that’s when it starts to get in the way of living your life. You don’t have to be in crisis to want things to feel lighter. I can help you learn what your anxiety is trying to tell you, and how to quiet the noise so you feel more in control.
How can therapy help me manage stress?
Stress piles up—especially when you’re used to being the one who holds it all together. In therapy, we slow things down, look at what’s actually going on, and figure out what’s yours to carry and what isn’t. We’ll talk through the patterns that keep you stuck in overdrive and practice ways to calm your nervous system so you don’t feel like you're running on fumes. My work is all about helping you find breathing room, inside and out.
Can therapy help with panic attacks?
Yes, absolutely. Panic can feel terrifying—like your body is overloaded and your brain’s gone offline. I’ll help you understand what’s happening in those moments, where it comes from, and how to ground yourself when it starts building. You’ll get tools that actually work in real-time, so you’re not just bracing for the next wave.
