Anxiety Therapy

---

If you've spent years pushing through the racing thoughts, the restlessness, and the exhaustion of always bracing for something to go wrong, and it still hasn't eased on its own, you already know that trying harder isn't the answer.

This is a space for the woman who looks like she has it all handled and is quietly running on empty underneath.

• Your mind runs every possible outcome before anything has even happened
• You wake around 3 a.m. with your chest tight, reviewing tomorrow's list and replaying a conversation to be sure you didn't upset anyone
• You say yes when you mean no, then lie awake replaying it
• You've bought the books and tried the breathing, but slowing down for yourself brings an immediate wave of guilt
• You're holding everything together so seamlessly that no one around you sees how much it costs

The first thing that tends to change after a bit of time in therapy is the space between a feeling and what you do with it. You start to catch the pattern before it runs the show.

From there, setting a boundary stops feeling like a threat. A hard conversation becomes something you can have without days of recovery afterward.

Therapy can help the physical side ease too. The tight chest, the clenched jaw, the nights your mind won't shut off become less frequent.

The goal isn't to stop feeling anxious entirely. It's to get to a place where anxiety moves through you instead of running your life.

My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, parts-based work, and psychodynamic therapy, all grounded in trauma-informed care and shaped around what you actually need.

Here's what that looks like in practice:

• CBT helps shift the thought patterns that keep anxiety in place
• The deeper work makes sense of where those patterns started, often in years of being the person everyone else depends on
• The body-based work calms the physical side, so you sleep better and feel more at peace

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP), I've trained specifically in how anxiety takes hold and how it loosens, and that focus shapes our work from the first session.

In the first session, we'll talk through what's bringing you to therapy, the patterns you've noticed, and what you want to feel different. You'll leave with something practical to work with, not just a list of future appointments.

Expect clear guidance and real tools, not an hour of silent nodding.

Sessions are 45 to 60 minutes and held online, so the work fits into a full schedule instead of competing with it. We meet weekly in the beginning, then adjust the pace as things shift.

• Women in their late 30s and 40s who look high-functioning on the outside and feel like they're running on empty underneath
• Professionals, leaders, educators, and business owners carrying family and work with the efficiency on the outside, but feeling overwhelmed inside.
• Women who have been the dependable one for as long as they can remember
• Women who want care that understands the cultural and family expectations layered into their experience

If you've tried therapy before and it didn't help, bring that into our first conversation. It rarely means therapy can't work. More often it means the fit or the approach wasn't right.

•  Individual intake: $200 (60 min)
• Follow-up sessions: $110 to $175 depending on length
• Insurance: Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield accepted
• Out-of-network: superbills provided, with Thrizer available to manage reimbursement

Is what I'm feeling anxiety, actually, or am I just stressed? Stress and anxiety overlap, but anxiety tends to stick around even after the stressor is gone. If worry feels like your baseline rather than a reaction to something specific, that's worth exploring together early on.

I've tried therapy before, and it didn't help. Would this be different? It depends on what happened before. If therapy felt too passive, or like venting without anything changing, the approach here is likely different. If something isn't working between us, we name it directly and adjust.

Do you offer online sessions? Yes. All sessions are online, available to women across New Jersey, New York, and Tennessee, so therapy fits around your work and your family instead of adding one more thing to manage.

How long does this usually take? Most people start to notice real shifts within the first few months of consistent weekly work. We'll review progress together periodically, so you always have a clear sense of where things stand.

Do I have to be in crisis to start? No. If anxiety has been affecting your daily life, your relationships, or the way you feel about yourself, that's reason enough to start.

Reaching out is often the hardest part, especially when anxiety makes every decision feel bigger than it is. Book a free consultation, and we'll take it from there.
