Anxiety Therapy in SF
No matter how many strategies you've tried, nothing seems to stick
You've read the books, downloaded the app, and started the meditation practice twice. And still: the 3am wake-up, the conversation you keep replaying, the email you've reread four times before sending. You're the person everyone counts on, and underneath it you're running on a kind of low-grade dread you can't quite name. You might catch yourself thinking I should be able to handle this or why does everyone else make this look so easy? The overthinking, the exhaustion, the sense that you're always five steps ahead in your head and never actually here — these aren't personal failures. They're signs that your nervous system has been working overtime for a long time, and you're in the right place.
Therapy helps you understand what's driving the anxiety, build practical tools for calming your nervous system, and reconnect with the version of your life that doesn't run on dread.
How I Can Help
We'll start by getting curious about where your anxiety comes from and what it's been trying to protect you from. From there, we'll build real skills: regulating your nervous system when it spikes, loosening the grip of the thoughts that spiral, and making decisions from your values instead of from fear. I draw on acceptance and commitment therapy, CBT, and mindfulness-based approaches, tailored to how your particular brain works rather than generic advice that falls flat.
Over time, you'll notice real changes: sleeping through the night, saying no without rehearsing it first, being able to sit still without your mind sprinting ahead. Therapy isn't about becoming a person who never feels anxious. It's about anxiety no longer running the show.
In therapy, you may learn to:
Understand where your anxiety comes from and what it's been protecting you from
Recognize the thought patterns that pull you into spirals, and interrupt them earlier
Calm your nervous system in the moment, before panic takes over
Sit with uncertainty instead of planning your way out of it
Set boundaries and say no without spending the next three days on it
Stop outsourcing your worth to productivity and other people's approval
Make decisions from your values rather than from fear
Feel present in your own life, not five steps ahead of it
