Therapy for anxiety & stress in NY, NJ & TX
Learn to ride the waves of anxiety without drowning.
You know the constant overthinking, what-ifs and self-criticism are making life harder. You're just not sure how to stop.
Sound familiar?
Maybe you…
- Feel like your mind never shuts off, and you always have to be two steps ahead, planning for the worst.
- Keep showing up and being "the strong one," but inside you're exhausted and just want a break.
- Say yes when you mean no, afraid that a boundary might disappoint someone or push them away.
- Worry that something is wrong with you because everyone else seems to handle life better.
- Get stuck in a loop of indecision, trying to find the "right" move and ending up more anxious.
- Think you should 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
Finding the source of your anxiety and getting out of survival mode.
We'll start by slowing down and getting a clear picture of what's going on: the moments you feel most overwhelmed, what you've already tried, and how those patterns show up across your life. Then we'll make a practical game plan, so you're not trying to change everything at once.
I'll help you understand why your nervous system reacts the way it does and teach you ways to settle it when you feel triggered. Over time you'll catch the physical signs of stress earlier and practice real tools to feel grounded, even when things are messy. We'll also talk about support: who's in your corner and how to stop handling it all alone.
Your anxiety isn't a flaw. It's information. Let's tune into what it's been trying to tell you.

Questions
Frequently asked
How much anxiety is normal?
Some anxiety is normal; it's your brain keeping you safe and alert. But when your mind never shuts off, you're always bracing for something bad, or you're too overwhelmed to make simple decisions, it's getting in the way of living. You don't have to be in crisis to want things to feel lighter.
How can therapy help me manage stress?
We slow things down, look at what's really going on, and sort out what's yours to carry and what isn't. We'll work on the patterns that keep you in overdrive and practice calming your nervous system so you're not running on fumes.
Can therapy help with panic attacks?
Yes. I'll help you understand what's happening in those moments, where it comes from, and how to ground yourself as it builds, with tools that work in real time.
What are your fees?
$200 per session. Individual sessions are typically 50 minutes; EMDR sessions may run longer.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes: Aetna, Cigna, Carelon Behavioral Health and Optum for clients in New York and New Jersey. For out-of-network benefits I can provide a superbill. I don't accept insurance for clients in Texas.
A new way forward starts with one small step.
And you don't have to take it alone.
