Online Anxiety Therapy in California

I provide online anxiety therapy for adults across California, including San Diego, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Therapy can help you manage anxiety that affects your relationships, intimacy, and daily life, so you feel more present, grounded, and connected.

You might not see yourself as an anxious person because you have a lot on your plate and stress under those conditions makes sense. You handle responsibilities, navigate challenges, and think things through carefully—but your mind rarely quiets, even around loved ones. You replay conversations, anticipate what might happen next, and try to stay a step ahead so everything goes smoothly. Over time, carrying all of that mental load can start to feel exhausting.

In therapy, we focus on understanding how anxiety operates and shifting your relationship to it, so you can feel more grounded, more connected, and able to relax into your life.

This Might Sound Familiar

Common signs of anxiety include:

• Overthinking that’s hard to interrupt

• Rumination that doesn’t fully resolve

• Feeling mentally on most of the time

• Difficulty relaxing, even when everything seems fine

• Sleep disrupted by racing thoughts

• Pressure to respond “the right way” in relationships

• Trouble staying present or enjoying sexual intimacy

If this resonates, know that you’re not doing anything wrong— this is a pattern your nervous system learned for a reason, and it’s something that can shift with understanding and practice.

When anxiety takes over, this is what happens

In relationships, you start to track everything—what you said, how it landed, whether something shifted. It can make you more careful, more edited, more aware than you want to be.

You get caught in your head, and it can be hard to feel relaxed and settled. Even when things are going well, your system doesn’t fully register it, and you might still feel on edge.

In intimacy, your mind stays active—monitoring, anticipating, or trying to respond in a way that feels correct—so you’re not fully present, get disconnected from your own needs, and pleasure becomes elusive.

In our work together, I’ll help you notice the themes that get caught on repeat in your mind and will help you slow down the narratives so you don’t get pulled into anxiety spirals. Anxiety therapy helps you notice when your mind and body are on overdrive and teaches ways to calm your system, so anxiety’s no longer running the show.

I work online with adults across California, including San Diego, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, so you can get support without the stress of traffic.

How Anxiety Therapy Helps

A lot of people try to think their way out of anxiety. But anxiety isn’t just happening in your thoughts—it’s something your whole system is doing.

Anxiety therapy helps you:

• Notice anxiety patterns as they happen instead of letting them run automatically

• Shift out of overthinking and break the cycle before it escalates

• Calm your nervous system so your body feels more settled and present

• Respond differently in situations that used to trigger automatic stress reactions

As this work continues, anxiety tends to feel less constant, less intense, and you develop a more manageable relationship with it and more equilibrium.

Anxiety During Life Transitions

Anxiety can shift or intensify during major life transitions, and I work with many women who are thrown into the chaos of midlife changes during perimenopause and menopause. Suddenly you’re back in a place of disorientation—emotional ups and downs, and it feels like you’re back in puberty again.

Sleep disruption alone can make everything feel louder, leaving you more reactive, less grounded, and more vulnerable to just about everything. Your usual coping strategies might not work as well, and you may find yourself needing a bit of extra support.

This phase of life often brings deeper questions. It can be a time of important reflection & questioning that paves the way for meaningful growth. What do you want the next phase of your life to look like? What are you tolerating, and what needs to shift?

Anxiety doesn’t have to be bad. It can be a signal that something beneath the surface isn’t working for you. Therapy provides a space to regain your footing, reconnect with your desires, navigate anxiety, and move forward with more clarity and meaning.

Anxiety and Sexual Intimacy

When you choose to work with a sex therapist, intimacy will always be a part of our discussions. If you’re having anxiety, you might notice:

• difficulty staying present in your body

• a mind that stays active or distracted

• pressure to perform or respond a certain way

• monitoring your partner’s reactions

• difficulty accessing or sustaining desire, making pleasure harder to find

Sometimes this leads to avoiding intimacy altogether. Other times, it shows up as going through the motions without feeling fully engaged.

Therapy helps you reduce pressure, settle your system, and reconnect with your body so intimacy becomes easier and more fulfilling.

Anxiety Therapy May Be a Good Fit If

• Anxiety or overthinking affects your relationships or intimacy

• You’re high-functioning but don’t feel truly at ease

• Anxiety affects your relationships or your ability to be present

• You don’t necessarily identify as “anxious,” but something feels off

• You want anxiety therapy that helps you understand patterns, not just manage symptoms

• You’re ready to understand your anxiety instead of just managing it

If any of this resonates, feel free to reach out to see if this is the right fit.
