Online Therapy for Anxiety
based in the Hudson Valley and serving all of NY & NJ
You’ve always been anxious—but you could handle it.
From the outside, your life looked together—because for the most part, it was.
And then something happened.
A breakup. A loss. A major change.
Something that tipped everything over the edge.
Now the anxiety isn’t manageable in the same way anymore.
You can’t catch up—no matter how hard you try
Your brain won’t shut off
Things that used to feel doable now feel overwhelming
You feel like you’re drowning—but still trying to function
And that’s the part that’s especially unsettling:
What used to work… isn’t working anymore.
And it’s not just more anxiety—it’s a different experience entirely.
At work, you’re not functioning the way you used to. Things that were once automatic now take effort—or don’t get done at all.
In your relationships, you might feel more reactive, shut down, or disconnected—or like you don’t have the capacity you used to.
And internally, there’s a loss of trust in yourself:
Why can’t I handle this?
What’s wrong with me?
Am I always going to feel like this now?
It’s not just that you feel anxious.
It’s that your usual ways of coping stopped working— and now you don’t know how to get your footing back.
Get out of survival mode—and back into your life
When anxiety has always been there, it can be confusing when it suddenly becomes unmanageable. Because you’re so used to being able to function—even with it. But when something disrupts your system, anxiety can shift from something you manage to something that takes over.
In our work together, we focus on:
Understanding what changed—and why your anxiety feels different now
Processing the impact of what you’ve been through
Calming the constant mental and physical overwhelm
Rebuilding your capacity to function and feel steady
Helping you trust yourself again
This isn’t about going back to how things were.
It’s about creating a new kind of stability—one that actually holds, even after everything you’ve been through.
You’ve probably tried to manage this the way you always have.
Push through. Stay busy. Think your way out of it. Work out, get enough sleep, all the things… and it’s JUST NOT WORKING ANYMORE.
Because this version of anxiety isn’t something you can just out-function.
My style is direct and down-to-earth. We’re going to:
Get underneath the anxiety—not just manage the symptoms
Understand how what you’ve been through is impacting you now
Make space for the overwhelm instead of constantly fighting it
Help you rebuild a sense of stability and self-trust
I use evidence-based approaches (like EMDR & IFS) that go deeper than just your typical talk therapy, but keep the work grounded and human.
You’ll feel supported—but also guided in a way that helps you move out of survival mode and back into your life.
Therapy for anxiety can help you:
Get out of that constant “I’m drowning” feeling
Stop overthinking everything and second-guessing yourself
Understand why what used to work isn’t working anymore
Feel more capable—not like you’re barely holding it together
Rebuild a sense of control in your life
Have the energy and capacity to show up the way you want to
Feel like yourself again—not just someone getting through the day
This doesn’t have to be your new normal—you can feel steady, capable, and back in your life again.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
-
A lot of the women I work with have always had some level of anxiety—but were able to manage it. Then something shifts: a breakup, loss, burnout, major life change, or even just years of holding everything together. What used to feel manageable suddenly feels overwhelming. This doesn’t mean you’re failing—it usually means your system is overloaded and needs support in a different way.
-
This is one of the most common things anxious, high-functioning women ask themselves. When anxiety becomes chronic or your nervous system is overwhelmed, things that once felt easy can suddenly feel exhausting. It’s not that you’ve become incapable—your system is likely stretched beyond what pushing through can fix.
-
Yes. Anxiety can impact focus, decision-making, motivation, sleep, emotional regulation, and your ability to keep up with daily responsibilities. A lot of people blame themselves for this, especially if they’re used to being capable and productive, but anxiety can absolutely affect how you function mentally and emotionally.
-
Overthinking is often your brain’s attempt to create certainty, control, or safety. The problem is that it usually keeps you stuck in anxiety instead of helping you feel better. Therapy can help you understand what’s driving the overthinking underneath the surface—not just try to stop the thoughts themselves.
-
A lot of people come to therapy after trying to “manage” anxiety for years. Sometimes traditional coping skills or surface-level talk therapy don’t get underneath what’s actually driving the anxiety. My approach focuses on understanding the deeper patterns, overwhelm, and nervous system responses keeping you stuck—not just symptom management.
-
Yes—that’s often the goal. Not just reducing anxiety, but helping you feel steadier, clearer, more emotionally regulated, and more connected to yourself again. Especially after a major life shift, therapy can help you rebuild trust in yourself and stop feeling like you’re constantly just trying to survive the day.
