Therapy for Anxiety in Los Angeles can help
How to know when it’s time for therapy:
You are feeling burnt out or exhausted from all the thinking going on in your head
You don’t understand why you can’t just snap out of it
Friends and loved ones are noticing you are moody or agitated
You are experiencing nausea or queezy stomach, difficulty staying still, and difficulty sleeping or staying asleep
Anxiety can feel like living with the volume turned up too high. Your mind moves quickly, scanning for what might go wrong. You replay conversations. You question your instincts. You wake in the early morning hours already bracing for the day. Even when life looks “fine” from the outside, your nervous system may feel anything but calm.
I help adults slow this process down.
My work is grounded in depth-oriented and psychodynamic therapy, which means we don’t just manage symptoms—we gently explore what’s underneath them. Anxiety often makes sense when we understand its roots. Together, we look at the patterns, early experiences, and protective strategies that shaped it. When you understand the “why,” anxiety starts to loose its power, and you feel less subconsciously controlled by it.
You are not your anxiety. It is a human emotion that serves a purpose, we are all wired for it. Working with me will help you change your relationship to the emotion, and create space between it, so that it stops running the show. I will help you look at your life holistically (including exploring any potential underlying health conditions that could be contributing factors), so we can really look at the big picture and treat the anxiety from a variety of directions.
