Anxiety Therapy in Palm Springs for Adults Struggling with Overthinking and Constant Worry
You Might Be Feeling This Way
If you’re here, you may already know what anxiety feels like.
Your mind doesn’t slow down. It jumps ahead, scanning for what could go wrong. You replay conversations, anticipate outcomes, and try to stay one step ahead of everything. On the outside, you may look like you’re handling it—but internally, it can feel exhausting.
A lot of the people I work with aren’t “falling apart.” They’re thoughtful, capable, and high-functioning. But they’re carrying a constant undercurrent of pressure—trying to manage things that feel just out of reach, or out of their control entirely.
Over time, that kind of mental load can make it hard to feel present, settled, or at ease—even in moments that should feel calm. And even when things look fine on the outside, it doesn’t always feel that way internally.
When Anxiety Starts to Take Over
Anxiety often isn’t just about worry—it’s about a relationship with uncertainty.
You may notice yourself:
-
Constantly thinking ahead or preparing for what might happen
-
Replaying situations long after they’ve passed
-
Struggling to be still, or to feel fully in the moment
-
Feeling like your mind never fully “turns off”
These patterns aren’t random—they’re ways your mind has learned to try to create safety.
The problem is, the more you try to control or predict everything, the more your world can start to feel tight, pressured, and overwhelming.
Many of the adults I work with in Palm Springs and throughout California describe this exact experience.
For some people, this pattern becomes more noticeable during major life transitions—like starting over after a relationship ends—you can learn more about that here.
A Different Way to Approach Anxiety
In our work together, we don’t just try to “outthink” anxiety or reframe every thought.
Instead, we focus on changing your relationship with it.
That often means gently turning toward the anxiety—rather than avoiding it—and building your capacity to tolerate uncertainty without being consumed by it.
I integrate mindfulness-based work throughout the process, helping you:
-
Slow down your internal pace
-
Become more aware of what’s happening in real time
-
Develop a more grounded, steady presence
My approach to anxiety therapy is grounded in mindfulness, relational work, and a deeper awareness of both your internal experience and your body.
Rather than staying at the level of surface coping, our work tends to go deeper—so that the changes you make feel more lasting and aligned with who you are.
Over time, this creates a different kind of confidence—not from controlling your mind, but from not being controlled by it
What Therapy With Me Feels Like
Most people don’t come in looking for techniques—they come in wanting some relief from how much space anxiety is taking up.
Through anxiety therapy, clients often begin to notice:
-
Less urgency to control every outcome
-
More space between thoughts and reactions
-
Greater ability to stay present, even when things feel uncertain
-
A quieter, more settled internal experience
As a therapist working with adults experiencing anxiety and overthinking—The goal isn’t to eliminate anxiety completely—it’s to help you relate to it differently, so it no longer runs your life.
You can learn more about my approach in the "How I Work" section".
Is This the Right Fit?
You might be someone who appears to have things together on the outside—but internally, your mind feels busy, restless, or hard to settle.
You may find yourself overthinking conversations, anticipating what could go wrong, or feeling a constant pressure to stay one step ahead. Even when life is going well, it can be difficult to fully relax into it.
This kind of anxiety therapy tends to resonate with people who are thoughtful, self-aware, and open to looking a bit more deeply at their patterns—not just managing symptoms, but understanding them.
Rather than focusing on quick fixes, we take a more grounded, intentional approach—helping you build a different relationship with anxiety over time.
If you’re looking for a space that is calm, collaborative, and focused on meaningful, lasting change, this may be a good fit.
And if you’re not sure yet, that’s okay too—reaching out can simply be a starting point.
