Jaswir Dhillon
Registered Psychotherapist, MA
Anxiety can feel like a constant undercurrent, with racing thoughts, a restless body, and a sense of dread you can’t quite name. You might find yourself overthinking everything, bracing for something to go wrong, or feeling on edge even in calm moments. It can start to feel like this is just how life will always be. But anxiety doesn’t have to define you. Together, we can explore its roots, develop tools to calm your nervous system, and help you feel more grounded, capable, and at ease in your day-to-day life.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From the perspective of Somatic Experiencing, anxiety can be a fight/flight response that hasn't fully settled. It can leave you with a feeling that something isn't quite right, and then your mind starts searching for reasons to feel that way. It's a vicious cycle.
We can work together to find ways to help your body 'complete' the unsettled fight/flight response so you can actually feel safer and more settled. Now your mind will be fresh and clear and better able to assess the situation and decide on a effective course of action.

Zonaira Chaudhry
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist MSW, RSW
Are intrusive thoughts, compulsions, or phobias controlling your life? I specialize in evidence-based treatments for OCD and anxiety, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). While developing immediate coping skills is important, I understand that real change comes through carefully guided exposure work and addressing underlying patterns.
My approach balances acceptance with change, helping you face fears while building resilience. Together, we'll work at your pace to reclaim freedom and flexibility in your life.
