Anxiety therapy in Los Angeles for the overthinkers, the overfunctioners, and the ones who never get a break—even from their own brain.
Specialized Treatment for:
You’re not having daily panic attacks. You’re not calling out of work.
You’re still getting stuff done.
Which makes it that much harder to explain why you feel so exhausted, tense, or disconnected all the time.
Your anxiety hides behind overthinking, perfectionism, over-apologizing, and trying not to upset anyone.
And even when nothing is technically wrong, your body still feels like it’s bracing for something.
It feels like your anxiety has anxiety – and you need a break.
You overanalyze texts, replay conversations, and constantly worry you said the wrong thing
Set impossibly high standards and always feel like shit if you’re falling short.
You can’t rest—even when you have time to
You’re emotionally exhausted but still showing up like everything’s fine
Hide your true feelings, worried people won’t want to be around if they see the real you.
Are the one that everyone always counts on, but low key resent that no one checks on you.
If you’re reading this and thinking, “Man, I’m tired of pretending everything’s fine,” then you’re probably in the right place. I’m not the type to just nod along—I actively participate. We’ll work side by side to understand your feelings and experiences, and let go of old patterns that no longer serve you.
I blend IFS with somatic and holistic approaches that help you do more than just cope—they transform how you connect with yourself and others. I’m here to help.
I work out of Los Angeles, but I start with wherever you are – figuratively and literally. Since our sessions are online, I can work with anyone who lives in California. Whether we’re easing anxiety, processing past trauma, or working towards securing those attachment insecurities, we’ll do it together in a way that feels genuinely supportive.
When was the last time you didn’t feel unheard, unseen, or dismissed? You deserve to be acknowledged and valued. Let’s work together to ensure your voice is heard, your presence is seen, and your feelings are respected.
Either way, something doesn’t feel right..
Maybe you’ve talked through your past. You’ve connected the dots, figured out your triggers—but your body still reacts like it’s not safe.
You know why you feel the way you do, but that hasn’t made the anxiety stop.
Or maybe you’re just starting out. You’ve been powering through life like it’s fine… until you realized it’s not.
The anxiety. The numbness. The constant overanalyzing.
You’re functioning, but not fully living. And you don’t want to wait until it gets worse to get support.
You might be successful, driven, funny, intuitive—and still feel like something’s…off. You’re the go-to friend.
The one who holds it all together.
The one people don’t worry about.
But you’re over pretending everything’s okay when your body is clearly saying otherwise. You’re craving more than surface-level coping.
You want to feel present. Whole. Like yourself again.
Maybe you’ve been told to manage your anxiety with tools: positive affirmations, reframing your thoughts or “challenging your beliefs.” Those can be helpful—until they aren’t.
But if your nervous system is still stuck in survival mode, cognitive tools alone might fall short.
In my Los Angeles therapy practice, I combine somatic, trauma-informed, and attachment-based approaches to help your body feel safe—not just your mind.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all treatment plan. Together, we get curious about how your anxiety shows up physically, emotionally, relationally—and we work with it gently, in real time.
Ever feel like you’re talking in circles and getting nowhere? You’ve already tried to get the answers from your thoughts, but it isn’t working. Talk therapy alone can sometimes be annoying = it just gives you more thoughts to overthink. That’s where somatic therapy comes in. It’s about tuning into your body and becoming more self-aware. Your body experiences the world first, and oftentimes it’s our THOUGHTS that misinterpret the message.
You’re more than just a collection of symptoms. You’re a whole person. Holistic therapy looks at your mind, body, and spirit as interconnected parts of a bigger picture. There’s a biological and evolutionary reason for everything you experience, including your symptoms.
You’re not just one thing. We all have different parts that make us who we are. Maybe a part of you is anxious, but that doesn’t mean you’re just a walking talking anxiety ball. IFS therapy helps you understand and harmonize these parts. Imagine your inner critic and inner child working TOGETHER. You’re a complex person with many facets – this is a good thing and actually a compliment. You deserve a therapy that matches.
Do relationships make you feel like you’re constantly walking on eggshells? If you’ve got an anxious attachment style, every relationship can make you stress or worry if you’re loved, if they’re mad at you, or constantly wanting to keep the peace. We’ll work on understanding these patterns and finding healthier, more secure ways to connect with others.
Trauma therapy isn’t just about big, dramatic events. It can come from smaller things too, like being dismissed or ignored as a kid. These moments can hurt just as much as physical injuries. And even if you haven’t experienced what you consider a trauma, your body responds to perceived threats as if they’re real. We all have a fight, flight, freeze, or fawn response to danger. Let’s use your nervous system to heal.
You’ve tried telling yourself to just chill out, but that only makes it worse. Anxiety therapy is about more than just thinking your way out of it. We’ll dig into practical strategies to help you manage your anxiety and get to the bottom of what’s really triggering it. It’s about giving your mind a break and finding some peace in the chaos. Your brain might be wired for worry, but we can teach it to find calm instead.

They overlap way more than most people think. A lot of my clients come in saying, “I’m not even sure what I’m feeling—tired, numb, anxious, all of it?” That’s not unusual. When your system’s been stuck in survival mode for a long time, it’s hard to tell where anxiety ends and depression begins. We don’t always need a label. What matters is helping you feel like yourself again—clearer, less foggy, less like you’re dragging your body through your own life.
Most of the people I work with already know they’re anxious. They’ve read the books, done the deep breaths, tried to logic their way out of it. That’s not what I do. I help you understand why your system still thinks it needs to be on high alert all the time—and we teach it how to turn the volume down. Slowly. Safely. No force, no fluff. I’m not giving you affirmations—I’m helping your whole system stop spiraling.
Look for someone who gets that anxiety isn’t just panic attacks or negative thoughts. It’s exhaustion. It’s replaying every conversation from yesterday. It’s smiling while your chest is tight and your stomach’s a mess. If you’ve been searching “anxiety therapy near me” and nothing’s landed, trust that instinct. Find someone who works with the real stuff—the patterns, the people-pleasing, the way you wake up already braced for something.
Yes, it can be. Functional freeze is when you’re technically functioning—doing the job, making the plans—but inside? You’re disconnected, checked out, kind of… blank. You’re not crying on the bathroom floor, so no one notices, but it’s still not okay. That can be anxiety—just a quieter version of it. It’s your system doing the best it can with too much for too long.

Yes—and not just “stage fright” type stuff. I work with people who rehearse every sentence before speaking, overexplain to avoid being misunderstood, and need a nap after any kind of social interaction. Social anxiety doesn’t always look like hiding—it’s also performing. And it’s exhausting. We work with the part of you that’s convinced being seen = being judged, and help it feel a little safer to show up.
Generalized anxiety is like having a browser open with 27 tabs—except none of them are useful, and your body still acts like something’s about to crash. There’s no one thing wrong, but you’re always on. Always scanning. Therapy helps slow that default down so your system isn’t stuck in that constant low-key panic. You don’t have to live like that.
If you’re smart and high-functioning, you probably don’t need someone to tell you to journal or drink more tea. You need someone who knows how anxiety hides—behind perfectionism, emotional shut-down, overanalyzing, people-pleasing. The best kind of therapy is one that helps your body stop reacting like it’s in danger all the time. I use somatic therapy, parts work, and attachment-based care—not to “fix” you, but to help you feel calm without having to wear a mask.
