(Online Only)
I am a California-based anxiety therapist working with high-functioning adults who struggle with chronic anxiety, overthinking, panic, and persistent internal tension. Many of my clients appear capable and successful, yet feel emotionally exhausted and constantly on edge. They often carry responsibility, family expectations, and pressure that have kept their nervous system in a state of high alert.
My approach to anxiety therapy is steady, depth-oriented, and practical. I help clients reduce panic and physical anxiety symptoms while also addressing the deeper patterns that keep anxiety going, including guilt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and long-standing family or cultural roles. This work focuses on helping you feel safer in your body, clearer in your mind, and more grounded in your daily life.
I provide private pay therapy and work well with clients seeking thoughtful, consistent care rather than quick fixes.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Psychoanalytic Therapy Based on Freud’s theories, it explores unconscious conflicts and past experiences. It seeks to bring hidden issues into awareness.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
- Relational Psychotherapy Emphasizes the healing power of the therapist-client relationship. It uses trust and safety as a foundation for change.

Reflection Connections Therapy Center is a private pay therapy practice for people who are used to holding it together. Many clients come in successful, capable, and outwardly fine, but internally exhausted, anxious, and constantly bracing. Therapy here is a space to slow down, exhale, and finally hear your own voice beneath the pressure, guilt, and expectations.
I provide telehealth therapy across California and specialize in anxiety, overthinking, panic, and the emotional weight that often comes from survival roles, family dynamics, and cultural expectations. My work blends practical tools with deeper therapy that helps you understand the patterns you have been living in and build a steadier, safer inner life.
