Therapy in California, Santa Clara, and the Greater Bay Area
Hi, I’m Samara.
I help adults get unstuck from cycles of worry, anxiety, and overthinking so they can stress less, sleep better, and enjoy their life more.
When you’re always in your head—second-guessing decisions, replaying conversations, planning for worst-case scenarios—your mind is carrying so much.
On the outside it may seem like you’ve got it together, but inside, it’s exhausting.
Therapy with me offers a place to set down the worries, “what-ifs”, and endless mental to-do lists.
A space to quiet the noise and come back to yourself.
What We’ll Explore
Together, we’ll gently untangle the patterns that keep anxiety running the show:
The pressure to always do more, even when you’re already drained
Fear of “what-if” scenarios that keep you stuck in worry and planning
Saying “yes” when you want to say “no” and ending up exhausted or resentful
Replaying conversations in your head, worried you said the wrong thing
An inner critic that never lets you feel “good enough”
Avoiding situations or people because the anxiety feels too overwhelming
And along the way you’ll gain practical tools to feel more calm, present, and confident in how you show up for yourself and in your relationships.
Imagine What Could Change
With someone who gets you and is in your corner, you might find yourself…
Falling asleep without your mind replaying the day
Handling small stresses without feeling like they’ll push you over the edge
Being present in conversations instead of lost in mental noise
Trying something new without being paralyzed by fear of failure
Leaving work and actually feeling “off the clock”
Feeling free to show your emotions instead of holding it all in
These aren’t quick fixes. They’re the real shifts that happen when you learn how to take back control from anxiety so you're the one running the show.
