Anxiety & OCD Therapy in California
Online & Walk-and-Talk in Santa Clara & San Jose
Therapy for adults tired of living in their heads.
Even when things look “fine” on the outside, your mind keeps looping — worrying about what you said, imagining what could go wrong, juggling a dozen what-ifs. It’s a lot to carry around all day.
Therapy can help you step out of anxious spirals and make more room for being present in your life.
No forms. No pressure. Just a quick call to see if this feels like a good fit.
When You’re Mind Won’t Shut Off
Some days it’s a steady hum of tension. Other days it spikes into panic or overwhelm.
Either way, it’s exhausting to feel like your mind is always “on.”
Getting caught up in worst-case scenarios that feel painfully real
Second-guessing and overanalyzing decisions
Struggling to get things done because your mind keeps circling back to worries
Scrolling or busying yourself just to get a break from your thoughts
Over-apologizing, double-checking, or needing reassurance
Feeling drained, irritable, or like you’re falling short
Therapy isn’t just talking. It’s learning how to handle anxiety so it doesn’t take over — giving you more space to focus, engage, and feel like yourself again.
What Can Change
Untangle yourself from mental spirals
Make decisions with more confidence
Face uncertainty without over-preparing every step
Be fully present in conversations
Do the things anxiety has kept you from trying
Sleep better, feel lighter, and have energy for what you enjoy
OCD Treatment Using Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)
Intrusive thoughts or compulsive behaviors need specialized treatment.
I provide ERP, a highly effective therapy for OCD, to help reduce the grip of obsessive thoughts and compulsions so they stop running your day.
In sessions, we focus on what shows up in your life — the 2:00 am spirals, the overthinking after conversations, the moments anxiety takes the wheel.
We slow those moments down so you can learn to take the wheel back in practical ways, without lectures, forced positivity, or overly vague insights.
Designed to create change that sticks outside the session.How Therapy With Me Works

I pay attention to what can easily get missed: the sighs, subtle tension, the thoughts that slip by half-noticed.
I’m reflective, patient, and curious, and I like letting people find their own answers while nudging you along the way. With steadiness and a little humor, I’ll guide our sessions so you can get have a more fulfilling life.
