Therapy for women with anxiety

Therapy sessions cost $195 per session and are typically 55 minutes long. The frequency depends on your needs, budget and availability in my schedule.

Acceptable forms of payment are credit card, or Health Savings Accounts (HSA).

I am licensed in California, Oregon, Washington, and Arizona and offer video therapy using a HIPPA compliant program.

I am a licensed therapist in California, Arizona, Washington, and Oregon, which means I can provide anxiety therapy to clients who live in any of these four states.

If you are located near Temecula, Murrieta, or Menifee, California, we can meet in person at my office, or for sand tray therapy in Menifee—a creative, supportive approach that helps clients process and manage anxiety in a safe, hands-on way.

For clients located anywhere else in CA, AZ, WA, or OR, I offer telehealth therapy.

Anxiety happens not only in the mind but also in the body. In therapy, we explore your thoughts, feelings, and body responses with curiosity and compassion.

I teach practical tools like grounding exercises, mindfulness techniques, and nervous system regulation strategies. Bringing mindful awareness and curiosity to your experience of anxiety helps to see where you can create change.

Who you choose as your therapist is a very personal choice. For this reason I offer a free 15 minute consultation so that we can get a feel for how we will work together.

Whether you are looking specifically for anxiety therapy or to deal with other things that are holding you back, I welcome your call.

Yes! I offer in-person therapy sessions in SoCal in the Temecula/Murrieta area.

Everyone’s journey is different, but most people notice some relief within the first few months of consistent therapy. Deep, lasting change often takes longer because we’re not just treating symptoms — we’re working on underlying patterns and healing your relationship with yourself. Those who practice and apply the skills consistently in their daily life will generally feel relief from anxiety sooner and will lasting change. Therapy for anxiety is not just something that happens during the therapy hour, it is a new way of living and training your brain to respond differently.

Yes. My approach integrates mindfulness, polyvagal theory, somatic practices, and cognitive behavioral tools. Mindfulness, along with learning about the brain and nervous system, is often woven into the treatment of anxiety.

Mindfulness offers a gentle yet powerful way to work with thoughts, feelings, and beliefs - creating space for change by helping us experience life more fully rather than avoiding it or struggling against it. At the same time, understanding what’s happening in the brain and body when anxiety arises can be deeply empowering.

By recognizing these patterns in the nervous system, you can learn how to care for your body in those moments and respond with greater calm, compassion, and clarity. I’ll tailor the methods to what works best for you and feels safe and manageable in your body.

The goal of therapy isn’t always to eliminate anxiety completely — anxiety is part of being human. But therapy helps you change your relationship with it so it no longer runs your life. Instead of being consumed by anxiety, you’ll have the tools and confidence to move through it with greater ease.

Yes. Therapy can help you understand what’s happening in your brain and body during a panic attack, reduce their intensity and frequency, and give you tools to calm your system when they arise.

Sometimes anxiety is rooted in past experiences, and sometimes it’s fueled by current stress. We’ll go at your pace — you’re in charge of what feels safe to explore.

That’s completely normal. Many clients begin therapy feeling nervous or unsure. We’ll take it step by step — therapy itself can become a safe place to practice calming your nervous system while you talk through what’s coming up for you.

Sometimes it can be helpful to start by using more creative or movement based approaches until you feel more comfortable with therapy. You are in charge.

The short answer is no.

I have made a conscious choice not to accept insurance in my practice. Why? Because I believe that the therapeutic relationship is sacred between you and me.

If I were to accept insurance, your insurance company may ask to see your charts, which is a breach of the privacy and safety we create when you undertake therapy. I believe strongly that you should be free to say whatever you want in therapy without fear of it becoming part of an official record.

However, I can give you a statement so that you can apply for reimbursement for out-of-network benefits if you wish to do that in your own way.
