Therapy for Anxiety in Dallas, TX
For the overthinking, the spiraling, the pit in your stomach that won’t go away — there’s a way through it, and it’s more practical than you might think.
You replay the conversation countless times before you fall asleep. You feel fine, and then suddenly you don’t. You’re in a room full of people and somehow feel completely alone. You second-guess decisions you already made, worry about things that haven’t happened yet, and wonder why your brain won’t just let you rest.
For many, thats what anxiety feels like. And it’s exhausting.
The good news is that anxiety responds really well to treatment — not because you learn to stop feeling it, but because you learn to stop being controlled by it. That’s what we work on together.
Types of Anxiety I Work With
Anxiety doesn’t look the same for everyone. Here are some of the most common ways it shows up in my clients — if you recognize yourself in any of these, you’re in the right place.
General Anxiety
Constant worry, overthinking, always bracing for something to go wrong. Your mind is running in the background even when nothing is actively wrong, and it’s wearing you out. It’s not that you don’t know everything is probably fine. It’s that knowing doesn’t seem to help.
Relationship & Dating Anxiety
Feeling like a burden. Wondering if you’ll ever feel truly secure with someone. Self-sabotaging a relationship that’s actually going well. People-pleasing so relentlessly that you’ve lost track of what you actually want. Anxiety in relationships is some of the most painful kind — and one of the most common.
Social Anxiety
Going to new places, meeting new people, attending events, or starting college can bring up a fear of judgment or rejection that makes you want to stay home instead. This shows up a lot in young adults navigating new social environments for the first time without a built-in support system around them.
Health Anxiety
A new diagnosis — or even just the fear of one — can send your nervous system into overdrive. If you find yourself fixating on symptoms, catastrophizing test results, or feeling like your health is always one piece of bad news away from falling apart, this is treatable.
Performance Anxiety
School, work, and athletics often come with pressure to perform and the fear of falling short. Feeling like you’re not measuring up to your peers, comparing your timeline to everyone else’s, and wondering if you’re already behind. The standard keeps moving, and so does the anxiety.
How I Approach Anxiety Treatment
My approach to anxiety is grounded in CBT — Cognitive Behavioral Therapy — which is the most well-researched treatment for anxiety that exists. Here’s what that looks like in practice.
Anxiety is driven by thought patterns. Something happens, your brain interprets it in a particular way, and your body responds. The problem isn’t the event — it’s the pattern. CBT is the process of catching those patterns in real time and replacing them with something more accurate.
But I don’t stop at the cognitive piece. Anxiety lives in the body too — the racing heart, the tight chest, the stomach that won’t settle. I’ll give you physical tools to use in the moment: movement, cold exposure, breathing. Things that work fast when the spiral is already in motion.
I also bring humor into the room. Not to minimize what you’re going through, but because anxiety thrives in seriousness. Sometimes naming the absurdity of a thought pattern — really looking at it — takes away some of its power.
What you’ll leave with isn’t just insight. You’ll have a personalized set of tools you can actually use — specific to your patterns, your triggers, and your life.
What Progress Actually Looks Like
Progress with anxiety isn’t the absence of anxious thoughts. It’s the space between you and those thoughts getting wider.
You’ll start to notice the spiral sooner — and catch it before it takes over. Decisions that used to feel paralyzing will feel more manageable. You’ll feel more secure in yourself, less dependent on external reassurance. The tools we build together will start to feel like second nature.
Most clients notice a meaningful shift within 8–12 sessions. Some come in for a specific situation and leave feeling equipped to handle the next one on their own. Others find ongoing support useful as life continues to evolve. Either way, we’ll set goals early and check in on them regularly so you always know where you stand.
I see clients for anxiety therapy in person at my Dallas office in the Highland Park/Uptown area, and virtually for anyone in Texas. Virtual sessions work especially well for anxiety — sometimes the most comfortable place to start is wherever you already feel safe.
I’m currently accepting new clients with no waitlist.
