Anxiety therapy · Virtual across New York State

Live better, work better, and feel better.

Therapy if you’re the one who always holds it all together — until you can’t.

Sound familiar?

Up late worrying about the future,
or dwelling on the past?

It’s so common for New Yorkers to put an unrealistic amount of pressure on themselves — to please others, look a certain way, be successful — because they think that’s who they’re supposed to be.

Sometimes that pressure becomes so much overwhelm that it gets in the way of your performance, your self-worth, and your relationships.

But here’s the thing: the you underneath all that pressure knows what you need. It’s just been covered up — or tangled — for so long that it can be hard to access on your own. That’s where our work comes in.

After a decade of this work, I’ve watched people transform their lives by untangling the worries swirling in their minds and finding a healthier, more grounded perspective. You can too.

What we can work on

Therapy that fits your actual life

Anxiety & panic

Excessive worry, social anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, and the 3am spiral — we’ll build real tools to quiet the noise.

Burnout & pressure

When achieving is your identity and rest feels like failure. Learn to succeed without running on empty.

Self-worth & perfectionism

Untangle your value from your productivity and quiet the inner critic that never clocks out.

Relationships

Boundaries, people-pleasing, dating fatigue, family friction — connection shouldn’t cost you yourself.

Life transitions

New city, new career, new decade, new identity. Change is growth — but it rarely feels that way at first.

Sadness & Grief

Disenfranchised losses deserve real space and real support — not a “get over it” timeline.

“You don’t have to have it all figured out before you reach out. That’s kind of the point.”

First time trying therapy?

Imagine your worries as a tangled ball of yarn.

As an avid knitter and a huge fan of therapeutic metaphors, this is the best way I can describe what therapy is like: over time, more and more yarn accumulates, until you’re trapped by a mass of worry, indecision, and fear. Untangling it seems impossible because you don’t know where to begin.

What would it feel like to have someone carefully help you sort out those worries so you’re no longer confined by them? You can finally breathe.

Together, we’ll untangle those thoughts and roll them into neat balls of yarn. They may still exist — but they’ll be manageable. And with practice, you might even create something beautiful out of them.

Questions people ask

I’m an out-of-network provider. I can provide superbills for potential reimbursement through your insurance — many clients get a significant portion back. We can talk through this on our consult call.

All sessions are virtual, which means you can work with me from anywhere in New York State — your couch, your office, wherever you have privacy.

Therapy requires me to be licensed in your state, but coaching — a forward-focused, non-clinical way of working together — may be an option. Reach out and we’ll find what fits.

It depends on your goals. Some people come for a season, others stay for deeper work. We’ll check in regularly so therapy always feels purposeful.
