Anxiety Therapy in Wellesley
Virtually Across Massachusetts & Connecticut
Our Approach to Anxiety Treatment
Anxiety isn’t just in your head or something you made up—it’s a real, physical, and emotional pain. Whether you feel overwhelmed by everyday stress or caught in cycles of fear and overthinking, Shared Stories Counseling can help you prioritize what your mind and body need in order to breathe deeply again.
-
EMDR can help target the root memories or experiences fueling your anxiety, panic or phobias, allowing your brain to reprocess them in a safer, more integrated way.
-
Together, we’ll explore how anxiety shows up in your story: What’s it trying to protect? When did it start? What kind of life would you live without its constant presence?
Narrative Therapy can help you externalize the problems that are contributing to your anxiety and empower you to stand against the triggers that are keeping you stuck.
-
We’ll also integrate mindfulness and other body-based strategies so you feel empowered and less distress between sessions.
This work draws from trauma-informed methods designed to help you and your nervous system feel safe and free from anxious patterns.
Common Anxiety Concerns We Treat
Racing thoughts or obsessive thinking
Difficulty sleeping, focusing, or relaxing
Panic attacks or feeling out of control
Shame about “overreacting” or withdrawing from others
Constant worry or fear, even when things “should” be okay
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Both! I have an office in Wellesley where I offer in-person and walking therapy. I also utilize a HIPAA complaint software for virtual sessions via video.
As a clinician, I prefer meeting my clients in-person, but the standard of care and efficacy of EMDR and Narrative Therapy are the same for virtual and in-person clients.
-
I am not contracted with insurance companies. As an Out of Network (OON) Provider, I submit your claims for you and you are only required to pay a copay after your OON deductible has been met, similar to in-network services.
-
If you're experiencing constant worry, panic attacks, difficulty sleeping, racing thoughts, or physical symptoms like muscle tension or a rapid heartbeat, therapy can help. If anxiety is interfering with your daily life, relationships, or work, it's a good time to reach out.
-
Sessions are a safe, confidential space where we explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. We'll work collaboratively to identify patterns, build coping strategies, and set realistic goals. Each session is tailored to meet you where you are.
