Anxiety Therapy is designed to help you learn to manage and tame your anxiety so you can live a fulfilling and meaningful life that is not driven by worry and fear. Anxiety can show up in so many ways: racing thoughts, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and overanalyzing every situation.

Anxiety therapy (especially in a city like New York) helps you slow down, understand what’s really going on underneath the internal worry, and find your way back to calm.

We’ll explore the “why” behind your anxiety and work together to:
• Befriend your nervous system so you can feel safe in your body again.
• Identify triggers and patterns that keep you stuck in loops of stress or overthinking.
• Learn grounding and coping tools to manage anxious moments in real time.
• Reframe self-critical thoughts and strengthen your inner voice.
• Build self-trust and confidence so anxiety no longer calls the shots.

Anxiety therapy helps you go deeper than surface stress management. It’s about understanding how your nervous system, past experiences, and thought patterns fuel your worry and overwhelm, so you can calm the inner storm, not just cope with it day-to-day.

You’re not imagining it: anxiety often shows up when our nervous system is already on high alert, even if on the surface, things seem okay. Therapy helps you explore hidden triggers, underlying beliefs (“I have to be perfect,” “I’ll be abandoned”), and how your body stays stuck in fight/flight mode… so you can start to feel calm in body and learn to tune into your internal wisdom.

I work with women experiencing many forms of anxiety, including generalized anxiety, dating anxiety, social anxiety, relationship anxiety, panic symptoms, and stress related to trauma or attachment wounds.

Anxiety often looks like overthinking, hyper-vigilance, difficulty trusting yourself, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed. Therapy helps make sense of these patterns and gently shift them so you can feel calmer and more grounded.

You might benefit from anxiety therapy if you feel constantly on edge, overwhelmed, or stuck in cycles of overthinking, even when things appear “fine” on the outside.

Many women seek Anxiety therapy when they notice physical symptoms (tight chest, racing thoughts, difficulty sleeping), emotional exhaustion, or anxiety that shows up in relationships, dating, or work.

You do not need to be in crisis to start therapy. If anxiety is interfering with your peace, confidence, or ability to enjoy your life, working with an anxiety therapist can help.

Anxiety therapy is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to you. Sessions may include exploring thought patterns, understanding nervous system responses, processing past experiences, and learning practical tools to regulate anxiety in daily life.

I use a trauma-informed and attachment-based approach, which means we focus not only on what you think, but also how your body responds to stress and emotional triggers. Over time, therapy helps heal your nervous system, so you can respond to life from a place of calm and self-trust rather than fear.

Yes. People-pleasing is often a response to anxiety rather than a personality trait.

Many women learn early on that being agreeable, accommodating, or “easy” helps them feel safe, accepted, or loved. Over time, this can turn into chronic anxiety around disappointing others, setting boundaries, or expressing needs.

Anxiety therapy helps uncover the root of people-pleasing patterns and supports you in building self-trust, confidence, and emotional safety, without guilt or fear.

Absolutely. Perfectionism is very commonly linked to anxiety.

Perfectionism often shows up as overworking, overthinking, fear of failure, or feeling like nothing you do is ever “enough.” While it may look like motivation on the outside, internally it is often driven by anxiety, self-criticism, and fear of judgment.

Anxiety therapy helps you understand why perfectionism developed and gently loosen its grip so you can feel calmer, more confident, and less controlled by pressure.

Feeling anxious about saying no is often connected to people-pleasing and attachment-related anxiety.

If your nervous system learned that connection depended on keeping others happy, setting boundaries can trigger fear, guilt, or worry, even when you know it’s healthy.

In Anxiety therapy, we work on calming your nervous system, strengthening your sense of self, and practicing boundaries in a way that feels safe and empowering rather than overwhelming.

Yes. Chronic overthinking is one of the most common anxiety patterns I see, especially in women who are thoughtful, driven, and emotionally attuned.

Overthinking often develops as a way to prevent mistakes, rejection, or conflict. Anxiety therapy helps you understand what your mind is trying to protect you from, and teaches you how to respond with more clarity, calm, and self-compassion.

No. While coping tools are helpful, anxiety therapy goes deeper.

We focus on understanding why anxiety shows up the way it does, including people-pleasing and perfectionism, and help your nervous system learn new, safer ways of responding. The goal is lasting change, not just managing symptoms.
