Stress usually has a clear cause and settles once the situation changes.

Anxiety tends to stick around — even when things are “fine” on paper.

If you’re constantly bracing, overthinking, or feeling keyed-up without a clear reason, anxiety may be involved.
No.

Most of my clients come in because they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unable to slow their mind or body down — not because they’re seeking a label. If a diagnosis is needed for insurance or understanding patterns, we’ll talk about it together.
Many of my clients are successful, competent, and outwardly calm while feeling overloaded internally. Therapy can help you shift from coping constantly to actually feeling steadier, clearer, and more in control — without having to keep “holding it all together.”
Yes — and we tailor it.

Relationship-based anxiety often requires working with patterns of closeness, fear, reassurance, or emotional withdrawal. We explore these gently and without blame, so you can build more secure, grounded ways of relating to others (and to yourself).
Yes.

When anxiety is fueled by avoidance, overthinking, or reassurance cycles, ERP can help you learn to face discomfort without spiraling. We go slowly, collaboratively, and only at a pace that feels safe and doable — it’s never about forcing anything.

The goal isn’t to eliminate all anxiety — it’s to stop it from running your life.

You’ll learn to respond to anxious thoughts and sensations with more steadiness, flexibility, and self-trust so they no longer dictate your decisions or relationships.
Many people notice small shifts within a few weeks — less rumination, a calmer baseline, or fewer panic spikes. Deeper changes (like attachment work, relationship patterns, or long-standing perfectionism) take longer.

We move at a pace that supports real, sustainable change.
Yes — I provide secure telehealth therapy for adults in New York and Pennsylvania.

Many high-functioning clients prefer online sessions because it allows therapy to fit into busy schedules without commuting.
That’s more common than you’d think.
Therapy for anxiety works best when it addresses the system driving your symptoms — not just your thoughts.
My approach combines nervous system regulation, ERP, ACT, and relational/attachment work to actually shift the patterns beneath your anxiety.
Only if it’s relevant and you want to.

Some patterns — especially relationship anxiety, overcontrol, and chronic self-doubt — have origins worth understanding. But we always balance insight with practical tools for the present.
You don’t have to know yet.

That’s what the free consultation is for — a short, no-pressure conversation where we explore what’s going on and whether working together feels like a good fit.
