Therapy for Anxiety & Overthinking
Anxiety can make life feel much smaller than it needs to be.
Maybe you spend a lot of time in your head, thinking things through, questioning yourself, or worrying about what might happen. You might try to let something go, but your mind keeps bringing you back to it.
And even when you recognize that you're overthinking, it's not always easy to stop.
If you've been this way for a long time, you may have started to think this is just how your mind works. I don't believe that. You can learn to spend less time caught up in your thoughts and feel more confident in the decisions you make.

Have you ever wondered why you keep doing something even when you know it's not helping?
When you're anxious, thinking things through can feel like the sensible thing to do. You want to make the right decision, avoid a mistake, or be prepared for whatever might happen. Looking for reassurance can help you feel better. Putting something off can give you a little breathing room.
I understand why these things can feel helpful. They may bring some relief at first, but before you know it, you're thinking things through again for the tenth time or looking for yet another way to feel more certain.
The more attention we give these thoughts, the harder it can be to step away from them.
Why Does This Keep Happening?
People often think therapy is about getting rid of anxious thoughts. But you don’t need to get rid of every anxious thought to feel better or live the life you want.
In our work together, we'll look at what's happening when anxiety takes over. What are you telling yourself? What are you trying to prevent? What do you find yourself doing to feel better?
From there, we'll practice making different choices, even when anxiety is still there.
The goal isn't to stop thinking. It's to stop feeling like every thought deserves your attention.
A Different Way of Responding
What's Possible
Therapy doesn't change who you are.
It changes what you do when anxiety shows up.
The worries may still be there from time to time, but they no longer have the same influence over your decisions.
You spend less time second-guessing yourself, searching for certainty, or trying to figure everything out. You become more willing to do uncomfortable things without waiting to feel completely ready.
Therapy isn't just about feeling less anxious. It's about trusting yourself more, feeling less controlled by fear, and discovering you're capable of more than anxiety has led you to believe.
Your life doesn't get bigger because anxiety disappears.
It gets bigger because you stop waiting for anxiety to disappear.
You don’t become fearless. You stop underestimating yourself.

What You Can Expect
Therapy is a collaborative process. We'll talk about what's going on in your life, what you've been struggling with, and what you'd like to change. I'll help you make sense of what's happening, and we'll work together to find practical ways to move forward.
My approach draws on evidence-based therapies and practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and EMDR. I don't follow a formula or assume the same approach works for everyone. Our work will be guided by your experiences, your strengths, and what matters most to you.
Private Pay & Out-of-Network
I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. If your insurance plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, I can provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
Insurance plans vary, so I recommend checking your out-of-network benefits with your insurance company.
Let's Talk
If you're thinking about starting therapy, I’d be happy to talk.
