Anxiety Therapy in Walnut Creek, Lafayette & Online Across California

If you live with anxiety, you know it’s more than just “worrying too much.” Anxiety can feel like your mind won’t stop racing, your body is always on high alert, and no matter what you do, it’s hard to relax. Even when things are going well, there’s a constant undercurrent of tension or fear—like you’re waiting for the next thing to go wrong.

You are not weak or overreacting. Anxiety is a real and treatable condition, and with the right support, you can learn to manage it and feel more in control of your life.

I offer anxiety therapy in Walnut Creek, Lafayette, and online counseling across California, providing tools, understanding, and a safe space to work through what’s keeping you stuck.

Signs You May Be Struggling with Anxiety

Anxiety looks different for everyone, but it often includes:

  • Racing thoughts or constant worry

  • Trouble sleeping or relaxing

  • Restlessness, muscle tension, or feeling “on edge”

  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

  • Avoiding situations that cause stress or fear

  • Overthinking, second-guessing, or expecting the worst

  • Physical symptoms like stomach aches, headaches, or rapid heartbeat

You might have a specific anxiety disorder, such as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, or social anxiety—or you might simply feel anxious most of the time without knowing why.

How I Help with Anxiety

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I use evidence-based approaches to help you understand your anxiety and develop strategies to manage it. My approach combines:

  • Psychodynamic therapy – to uncover root causes and address deeper patterns

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns

  • Mindfulness and grounding techniques – to reduce racing thoughts and physical tension

  • Somatic awareness – to help calm the nervous system and reconnect with your body

In therapy, we’ll work together to:

  • Understand what triggers your anxiety

  • Build coping tools for moments of overwhelm

  • Challenge the thought patterns that keep you stuck

  • Develop healthier habits and routines that support calm and focus

The Benefits of Anxiety Therapy

With time and practice, many clients experience:

  • Greater ability to stay calm under stress

  • Improved focus and decision-making

  • Better sleep and more energy

  • Confidence in social and work situations

  • A sense of freedom from constant worry

Anxiety may have been part of your story so far, but it doesn’t have to define your future.
