Anxiety Therapists in California

I work with clients with anxiety through a compassionate, evidence-based, and personalized approach. In our first sessions, I take time to understand your symptoms, stressors, mental health history, current challenges, and treatment goals so we can build a plan that fits your specific needs. My care may include medication management, supportive psychotherapy, and practical coping strategies depending on what is most appropriate for you. I also focus on helping you build tools for emotional regulation, resilience, and day-to-day functioning. Throughout treatment, I provide a safe, judgment-free, trauma-informed space where you can feel heard, validated, and supported. My goal is not just to reduce anxiety symptoms, but to help you feel more in control, improve your overall well-being, and make steady, sustainable progress in your daily life.

With anxiety, I focus on both understanding and regulation. We explore what your anxiety is trying to communicate, while also building tools to help your body feel safer. This may include grounding techniques, nervous system regulation, and gently working through thought patterns that keep anxiety going.

Coming to therapy is already tough. We have our preconceived notions of what it's supposed to be like which can be anxiety inducing! Our upbringing, culture and other varying identities can also impact our experience of therapy. I'll work with your anxious brain to help modify your thoughts and behaviors in order to feel less anxious and create change in your life.

I’m a mixed race and Queer therapist who supports Queer folks with feeling less anxious.

My anxious clients often feel stuck in the middle. Their anxiety comes from people pleasing, perfectionism, and codependent habits. These habits were helpful at one time to keep them safe, but now in their adult lives, these strategies are no longer working in the same way. We often discover a history of relational trauma, broken attachments, and a deep core desire to be loved, seen, and respected. My approach to anxiety rooted in relational trauma is to unpack and reprocess the old memories and messages telling you that you're not enough, you don't matter, or you're too sensitive.

I help reactive, anxious, and chronically overwhelmed people learn how to go deep into the roots of these unhelpful patterns so they can discover a new way to show up in their life and relationships.

My work with anxiety starts with listening to your unique experience and understanding what situations, thoughts, and feelings drive your symptoms. Anxiety can show up in many forms, and part of my role is to sort through the details carefully so the treatment fits you and not just the label. I am conservative with medications and very deliberate about what I prescribe. If we use medication, I will explain why I am recommending it, what it does, and what to watch for. My goal is for you to understand your treatment as clearly as I do. You will always be encouraged to ask questions, challenge recommendations, and make decisions with me, never feeling like things are hidden or rushed. I want every patient to leave knowing they are heard, understood, and fully informed.

When working with clients managing anxiety, I take a compassionate, collaborative approach that respects your unique experience. Together, we explore the thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations that arise with anxiety to better understand your triggers and patterns. I use evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and gently challenge anxious thoughts, while teaching practical coping skills like grounding, relaxation, and mindfulness. These tools empower you to manage anxiety in daily life and build resilience over time. In addition, I address any underlying factors—like trauma, stress, or biological contributors—through integrative therapy and, if appropriate, medication management as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. My goal is to create a safe space where anxiety can be understood, managed, and diminished so you can live more freely and confidently.
