Therapy to Treat Anxiety
Find the ground beneath you again.
Anxiety has a way of taking over—a racing mind at 2am, a knot in your chest before a meeting, a constant sense that something's wrong even when you can't name what. You might feel like you're always bracing for the next thing, or exhausted from trying to control what can't be controlled.
You don't have to live like this. Anxiety is treatable, and you don't need to have it "figured out" before you start.
What anxiety therapy looks like
We start by understanding your particular anxiety—where it shows up in your body, what tends to trigger it, and what it's protecting you from. Anxiety is often trying to do a job, even when that job has stopped serving you. Together, we slow that process down enough to see it clearly.
From there, we build practical tools for the moments anxiety spikes, and we do deeper work on what's underneath it—old beliefs, unprocessed experiences, or patterns you learned a long time ago that no longer fit who you are now.
Who I work with
I work with adolescents and adults navigating:
Generalized anxiety and chronic worry
Panic attacks and panic disorder
Social anxiety
Anxiety tied to life transitions, health, or relationships
Perfectionism and the exhaustion of always needing to get it right
Anxiety that shows up alongside depression, trauma, or disordered eating
My approach
I draw on psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems–informed work, and EMDR—depending on what you need. Some anxiety responds well to skills and structure. Some anxiety is rooted in something older that needs to be understood and processed first. We'll figure out together what your anxiety is asking for.
My training
I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #MFT99953) based in West Los Angeles, trained in EMDR through The Institute for Creative Mindfulness, and informed by Internal Family Systems and psychodynamic approaches.
Is this right for you?
If anxiety has been running the show for a while, a free consultation call is a low-pressure way to talk about what's going on and whether working together makes sense.
