Feel Calmer, Clearer and More Like Yourself Again — Therapy for Anxiety, Overthinking and Life Transitions with a licensed therapist in California
You’ve been managing on your own for a while now, but you don’t have to keep doing it that way.
You may not be falling apart. You’re showing up — to work, to relationships, to all of it. But something feels off.
Maybe you’re tired in a way that sleep doesn’t fix. You’ve noticed the same anxious thoughts, the same arguments, the same stuck feelings cycling back around — and it’s frustrating that knowing what’s happening hasn’t made it stop. Or maybe nothing is dramatically wrong—it’s more like a quiet weight and a sense that life should feel different than this.
You’ve probably tried to work through it on your own. And you’ve managed — but managing isn’t the same as actually feeling better. That’s exactly where therapy can help. You don’t have to keep struggling and pushing through.
You might recognize yourself in this:
- You look like you have it together — but inside you’re running on stress and worry
- Overthinking, racing thoughts, or mental overwhelm
- Anxiety, stress, or emotional tension that won’t settle
- You feel pressure to keep it all together — for work, family, or everyone around you
- On the surface you’re keeping up — underneath, you’re depleted
- Difficulty adjusting to a life transition or change or loss
- You’ve lost interest in things that used to matter to you
If you’re considering therapy, you don’t have to have everything figured out first. Schedule a Free 15-minute Consultation
“I came in not really believing things could change. After a few months I noticed I respond differently. I’m not just going through the motions anymore and I feel better and less stuck in my head.” — Client, anxiety & burnout

Who Therapy Is For
Therapy offers a supportive space to slow down, understand what’s happening internally, and begin to feel more like yourself again.
This often includes high achievers who appear capable on the outside but are running on empty and mentally overloaded inside. Individuals who can’t quiet their mind — thoughts racing, worry humming in the background, never quite at rest. Parents carrying more than they let on. Teens and young adults navigating identity, pressure, or anxiety. Couples feeling disconnected or stuck in patterns trying to find their way back to each other.
In over two decades of working with people who are quietly struggling, something I hear often is “I should be able to handle this on my own.” You don’t have to.
If any of this sounds like you, you’re in the right place.
What to Expect in Therapy
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you start. Therapy isn’t just about insight — it’s about changing the patterns that keep anxiety and overthinking going and doing things differently.
Therapy is collaborative, supportive, and paced around your needs. Together, we focus on:
- Understanding patterns driving anxiety, stress, or overwhelm
- Building practical tools for daily emotional regulation
- Reducing overthinking and reactivity cycles
- Supporting nervous system calming and grounding
- Improving communication and relationship patterns
This work is about creating real change in how you feel and respond day to day — not just understanding why, but actually experiencing things d\ifferently. When you’re ready, Schedule your first session. Want to learn more first? See my approach to therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer online counseling in California? Yes! I provide telehealth throughout California, including San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange County and the San Francisco Bay Area.
What issues do you help with? I support anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, women’s issues, grief, stress, and relationship challenges. If you’re unsure whether what you’re experiencing fits — it probably does. Most people I work with don’t arrive with a diagnosis, but more a sense that something needs to change.
Is online therapy effective? Yes. Online therapy is highly effective and allows for consistent, accessible support from your own space.
Do you specialize in working with women? Yes. A significant part of my practice is dedicated to working with women navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions and the mental load that often goes unseen. Many of the women I work with look like they have it together on the outside — managing careers, relationships and responsibilities — while quietly feeling overwhelmed, anxious or depleted internally. This is sometimes called high-functioning anxiety, and it’s one of the most common experiences I support. If that resonates, you’re in the right place.
Do you work with teens? Yes, I work with teens, young adults and adults. Teen therapy can be a supportive space for adolescents navigating anxiety, social pressures, identity and the challenges of growing up.
I’m nervous about getting started — where do I begin? My free 15-minute telephone consultation is a low-pressure conversation where you can ask questions and see if it feels like a good fit. There’s no commitment required. Many people find that just having that first conversation feels like a relief.
