Anxiety Therapy in Summit, NJ & Online

Finding steady ground in the midst of uncertainty

You might be here because you…

Feel like your mind is constantly racing, making it hard to be present in your daily life.
Struggle with self-doubt, overthinking, or the fear of making the “wrong” decision.
Experience physical symptoms of anxiety—tightness in your chest, trouble sleeping, or a constant sense of unease.
Find yourself avoiding certain situations or conversations because they feel overwhelming.
Feel like you're never doing enough, even when you're completely drained.
Worry constantly about how others perceive you.
Have a hard time relaxing—even during downtime.

If any of this feels familiar, you're in the right place.

Anxiety has a way of making even the simplest moments feel exhausting. It convinces us that if we just plan more, think harder, or try to control every outcome, we can finally feel at peace.

But instead, we end up more stuck, more drained, and more disconnected from the life we want to be living.

How Anxiety Shows Up in Daily Life

Anxiety doesn’t always look like panic—it can feel like irritability, procrastination, people-pleasing, or indecision.

It might show up as perfectionism at work, evading difficult conversations in relationships, or trouble falling asleep at night.

You might find yourself replaying conversations, planning for every possible outcome, or avoiding anything that feels uncertain.

How Anxiety Keeps You Stuck

Maybe you’ve been living with anxiety for a long time.

Anxiety can be protective—it’s your mind’s way of saying, “Watch out, that might be scary,” or “This might not turn out well for you.”

But lately, you’ve started to notice that anxiety is showing up more frequently. Instead of protecting you, it’s holding you back.

It’s preventing you from being the kind of person, parent, partner, or professional you want to be.

Anxiety can make it especially difficult to initiate or adapt to life’s changes. Even positive changes can stir up fear and self-doubt, making it hard to move forward.

Transitions that challenge your sense of identity can feel particularly overwhelming, leaving you uncertain, guilty, or frustrated.

My Approach to Anxiety Therapy

I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a flexible, research-supported approach that helps you relate differently to anxious thoughts—so they no longer dictate your actions or define your self-worth. At its core, ACT focuses on two powerful shifts: accepting what’s out of your control, and taking committed action toward building a more meaningful life.

I also integrate elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), especially when identifying patterns of overthinking, avoidance, or self-criticism. Together, we’ll explore what’s fueling your anxiety and develop practical tools you can use in everyday moments—not just in the therapy room.

Mindfulness is a foundational part of my work—not just sitting still in meditation, but learning how to become more aware of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in real time. This kind of awareness helps you step out of old patterns, respond with greater flexibility, and create space for new choices.

Whether your anxiety shows up as perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-doubt, or the constant need to “get it right,” therapy can help you develop a more compassionate relationship with your mind—and take action even when certainty isn’t guaranteed.
