The good news is, there are proven ways to get relief. Starting anxiety therapy in Overland Park, KS and Cambridge, MA can be the beginning of a journey toward understanding and managing your anxiety.

You might be wondering…

  • “Why can’t I just stop overthinking everything?”

therapy for anxiety that works

No single approach will work for everyone, so I use evidence-based, research-supported treatments and tailor them to your needs:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Anxiety (CBT): Helps you understand and shift unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel worry and fear.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Builds psychological flexibility, helping you focus on what matters most while reducing the struggle with difficult thoughts and feelings.

  • Mindfulness-Based Strategies: Teach your brain to return to the present, quieting overthinking and grounding you in calm awareness.

Together, we’ll create a plan that feels manageable and aligned with your goals, so you can experience relief and results that last.

The tone of the work is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in real-life skills you can apply right away.

  • Everyone’s timeline is different, but many people begin noticing subtle shifts once they start consistently practicing the tools we develop together. While meaningful progress often builds over several months, the goal is sustainable long-term change — not quick fixes — so you feel more capable, grounded, and resilient in your everyday life.

  • We work with a wide range of anxiety-related concerns: chronic worry, overwhelm, intrusive thoughts, perfectionism, panic symptoms, pressure-based anxiety, and stress tied to high expectations or major life transitions.
