Anxiety Therapy

Understand your anxiety and develop practical coping skills

Anxiety can affect your thoughts, emotions, physical comfort, sleep, and ability to be present in everyday life. You may find yourself overthinking decisions, anticipating problems, feeling tense, or having difficulty switching off your thoughts.

Anxiety therapy provides an opportunity to better understand these patterns and develop new ways of responding to worry, uncertainty, and stress.

Our work may focus on:

  • Recognizing unhelpful thought patterns and exploring alternative perspectives.

  • Developing coping strategies for worry and emotional overwhelm.

  • Understanding situations and patterns that tend to increase anxiety.

  • Practicing mindfulness and emotional regulation skills.

  • Exploring how daily routines, sleep, and other life factors may influence your experience.

Therapy is tailored to your circumstances and priorities. The goal is to help you develop practical skills that support your daily functioning.

ADHD Therapy for Adults

Find strategies that work with your needs and daily life

ADHD can affect more than attention. For adults, it may create challenges with organization, prioritization, time management, procrastination, task completion, and emotional regulation.

You may know what needs to get done but struggle to get started, feel overwhelmed by competing responsibilities, or find that the systems you've tried don't work consistently.

ADHD therapy can help you understand these patterns and explore practical approaches to managing everyday demands.

Our work may focus on:

  • Understanding attention and executive functioning challenges.

  • Breaking larger tasks into smaller, more manageable steps.

  • Exploring strategies for planning, prioritization, and follow-through.

  • Developing realistic routines and organizational supports.

  • Recognizing emotional patterns associated with frustration and overwhelm.

  • Building on your strengths while reducing unhelpful self-criticism.

The focus is on understanding your individual experience and identifying approaches that are realistic for your life.

My Approach to Therapy

Whole-person, collaborative, and practical

I'm Jessica, a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience in mental health care, professional education, and program leadership.

I believe effective therapy begins with understanding the person, not just the symptoms. Your experiences, relationships, cultural background, physical health, environment, and daily responsibilities can all influence how you feel and function.

My therapeutic approach draws on evidence-informed methods, including:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Explore the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and practice more helpful ways of responding to challenging situations.

Solution-Focused Techniques

Identify strengths, resources, and achievable steps that can help you move toward your goals.

Strengths-Based Strategies and Positive Psychology

Recognize the abilities and resources you already have and explore how to use them to navigate challenges.

Mindfulness and Emotional Awareness

Develop greater awareness of thoughts, emotions, and reactions so you can respond more intentionally.

Practical Strategies for Daily Functioning

When relevant, explore how routines, sleep, physical movement, eating patterns, and environmental demands may affect your mood, attention, and ability to manage stress.

The approaches we use depend on your concerns, preferences, and goals. Therapy is a collaborative process, and we will work together to identify what may be most helpful for you.
