You Do Not Have to Manage Anxiety on Your Own
About 1 in 6
California adults likely had serious psychological distress in the past year, according to the 2022 California Health Interview Survey from the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research.
Anxiety often looks like a mind that will not slow down: racing thoughts, restless nights, a tight chest, a short temper. Demanding jobs, family pressure and big decisions can keep the body on alert long after the day is over. If it goes unaddressed, it can build into panic or a constant sense of dread.
In session we look at how anxiety shows up in your nervous system and in your thinking, and we practice ways to settle both. Because anxiety often has roots in earlier experiences, we also look beneath the symptoms at what keeps it going, at a pace that feels manageable.
I see adults at my Menlo Park office, close to Palo Alto, and online across California. When you are ready, book a free 20-minute consultation.
If anxiety is straining your relationship, I also offer couples counseling in Silicon Valley, or marriage counseling in the Bay Area if you are married. For men whose anxiety comes with low mood, see my male depression treatment.

What are the signs of anxiety?
Anxiety can be racing thoughts and constant worry, but it also lives in the body: a pounding heart, tight muscles, shallow breathing, broken sleep or a short fuse. If it is getting in the way of work, relationships or rest, it is worth talking to someone. For more, read 3 signs your anxiety is getting worse.
How is anxiety treated in therapy?
We begin with what you are living with now, then explore how anxiety affects your body and your thinking, and what keeps it going. Sessions focus on calming your nervous system, easing intrusive thoughts and building practical ways to cope that fit your life. To start noticing what sets it off, read anxiety triggers and lifestyle changes that help.
Can anxiety affect my relationship?
Yes. Constant worry, irritability or a need for reassurance can wear on both partners, and the distance that follows can feed the anxiety. Working on your own anxiety often helps at home too. If you would like support as a couple, see my couples counseling.
Where do you see clients, and can we meet online?
My office is at 1134 Crane Street in Menlo Park, close to Palo Alto, and I also meet clients online across California. You can choose whichever feels easier to begin with.
