Anxiety Therapy in Boca Raton

Support for worry, overwhelm, overthinking, and difficulty adjusting to change.

Anxiety often shows up during big transitions, like a divorce, an empty nest, or a health change. It can also build quietly over years of holding everything together.

Signs you might benefit

Worry that’s hard to switch off
Replaying conversations or decisions
Trouble falling or staying asleep
Feeling on edge, irritable, or tense
Avoiding decisions or situations
Feeling overwhelmed by everyday tasks

How we work on it

We start by understanding what sets off your anxiety and how it shows up in your days. Then we practice tools you can use between sessions: ways to calm your nervous system, question anxious thoughts, and take small steps toward what you’ve been avoiding.

How the REBUILD Method™ fits

The REBUILD Method™ is the framework I use in our sessions. We start with what feels most urgent, set goals you choose, and work step by step on boundaries, routines, and decisions. It’s informed by established approaches in psychotherapy. It isn’t a separately validated treatment, and it doesn’t promise a particular outcome. About the REBUILD Method™ →

If your anxiety is severe or includes panic attacks, I may suggest also talking with your physician or a psychiatrist. I’m a licensed therapist, and therapy doesn’t include medication.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a diagnosis to start therapy for anxiety?

No. Start with a free consultation and we’ll talk about what you’re experiencing. If you use insurance, a diagnosis may be needed for billing, and we’ll discuss that together.

Do you prescribe medication?

No. I’m a licensed therapist, not a medical doctor. If medication might help, I can suggest speaking with your physician or a psychiatrist.
