Specialties

Anxiety and Stress

For the mind that keeps running long after the house goes quiet.

Who This Is For

When worry takes up all the room

You replay conversations, rehearse worst cases and lie awake making lists. From the outside you look fine. Inside, it feels like a browser with forty tabs open.

I work with adults, parents, young adults and older adults across New York State whose stress has started to affect sleep, patience, work or relationships.

What We Work On

What anxiety can look like

Racing thoughts

Your mind jumps from one worry to the next before you finish the first.

Overthinking

Second-guessing emails, decisions and things you said years ago.

Worry at night

Bedtime becomes the time your brain finally has room to panic.

The mental load

Tracking everything for everyone, with no off switch.

Physical stress

Tight shoulders, a busy stomach or a heart that speeds up for no clear reason.

How I Work

Tools for thoughts, skills for feelings

CBT

CBT gives you tools for thoughts. We catch the "what ifs," check how likely they really are and practice a more balanced way to talk yourself down.

DBT

DBT gives you skills for overwhelming emotions. We practice ways to calm your body quickly, ride out a spike of panic and get back to what you were doing.

More about my approach

What Sessions Look Like

A calm hour you can count on

Where
Virtual, from anywhere in New York State
Length
45 to 50 minutes
When
Day, evening and weekend times

We meet by video from somewhere private. Each session we pick one worry to work on and leave with one skill to try. Day, evening and weekend times are available.

Anxiety may still visit. The aim is that it no longer runs the show.

What Can Shift

  • More space between a worry and your reaction to it
  • A few skills you trust when stress spikes
  • Evenings that feel a little quieter

These are hopes we work toward together, not guarantees.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my anxiety bad enough for therapy?
If worry is affecting your sleep, your patience or your day, that is reason enough to talk. The free consultation can help you decide.
Will I have homework?
Usually a small practice, like noting one anxious thought a day or trying a breathing skill before bed.
Do you prescribe medication?
No. I am a social worker, not a prescriber. If medication seems worth exploring, I can suggest you talk with your doctor.

Give the worry somewhere to go.
