Therapy for Anxiety
Depth-oriented therapy virtual across CaliforniaSupport for the exhaustion of overthinking, burnout, and self-doubt, and the constant effort to hold it all together.Anxiety Therapy in Los Angeles for Adults Who Are Tired of Overthinking Everything
You may be looking for a therapist because you’re exhausted by how much your mind is doing just to get through the day. You replay conversations, second‑guess decisions, and struggle to fully rest. I’m a licensed therapist in Los Angeles, and I work with adults who want more than band-aid fixes; you want to understand why your anxiety has such a grip and how to move through life feeling steadier inside.
How anxiety is actually showing up in your life
You replay conversations, texts, and decisions long after they’re over, wondering if you did something wrong.
Your mind races at night, planning, predicting, or rehearsing instead of letting you rest.
You say yes when you’re already stretched thin, because disappointing people feels worse than burning out.
In relationships, you either work hard to keep the connection (over-texting, over-explaining, scanning for distance) or shut down and pull away before people get too close.
You hold yourself to very high standards and feel like you’re “behind” no matter what you accomplish.
It’s hard to relax without feeling guilty or like you’re about to drop a ball.
On the outside you look composed and capable; on the inside you feel tense, restless, or disconnected.
You’re exhausted from the constant effort of holding it all together.
Anxiety isn't random. It's often the nervous system doing its best to protect you based on old experiences and unspoken rules you had to live by; in therapy, we get curious about those patterns instead of just trying to shut them down.
Your nervous system picked up on what it needed to do to keep you safe: be more aware, anticipate, stay in control, and read the room. It developed in response to your environment, especially in moments where things felt uncertain, overwhelming, or emotionally unsafe.
Anxiety is what happens when a system that learned to stay on meets parts of you that never got to fully exist, and the tension between the two is still unresolved. Once we understand what your anxiety has been protecting you from, it doesn't have to keep running the show.
In our work, we move past surface-level coping to address the deeper roots of your anxiety. We focus on:
OUR PROCESS
-
We look at where your anxiety shows up most, what triggers it, and what it's actually trying to protect you from. Understanding the function of anxiety is often the first step toward loosening its grip.
-
We help your body come out of survival mode and into a steadier, more grounded state, using nervous system-informed work to build the physiological safety your system needs before real change can happen.
-
Overthinking often isn't random, it's tied to old beliefs, fears, and relational patterns that taught you to stay one step ahead. We trace those roots so the overthinking has less to hold onto.
-
Over time, this work helps you trust your own read on things again, so you can respond to what's actually happening instead of spiraling into what might.
If you recognize yourself in any of this and are curious about working together, you can schedule a free 15‑minute consultation. We’ll talk about what’s been going on, I’ll share how I’d approach it, and together we’ll see whether this feels like the right fit.
You don’t have to keep navigating this alone.
