Therapy for Anxiety in Redondo Beach and Online throughout California

Shift the way you think

You like to think things through. You’re a master planner who’s always two steps ahead. And when you put your mind to something, you’re used to getting results.

These skills serve you well in lots of places — in the office, with your friend group, and at home with your family.

But sometimes, thinking crosses the line from helpful to harmful — keeping you up all night, making it hard to focus, and putting you on edge. The constant worry takes you away from what’s important — slowing down, being present, and enjoying the things you’ve worked so hard for.

I help overthinkers change the relationship with their thoughts, manage the pressures of adulting, and step fully into their relationships.

Anxiety sounds like this…

  • My brain won’t turn off

  • What if the worst happens?

  • It’s hard to focus

  • What if I make the wrong decision?

  • I just can’t relax

  • As long as I keep busy, I’m okay

  • If it’s not perfect, it’s not good enough

  • I don’t want to be a burden

  • Are they judging me?

…but you don’t have to

Tune in with yourself, think clearly, and be empowered to make more intentional choices.
