FAQs
Why do I overthink everything?
Overthinking is often your mind’s attempt to prevent discomfort, rejection, mistakes, or uncertainty. It can feel productive in the moment, but over time it can leave you exhausted. Therapy can help you understand what keeps the pattern going and develop a different relationship with your thoughts.
How can therapy help with anxiety and overthinking?
Therapy can help you step out of the cycle of overthinking and anxiety and learn new ways of responding to difficult thoughts and feelings. Together, we'll work on practical strategies to help you spend less time caught up in your thoughts and more time engaged in your life.
Do I need to be in crisis or know exactly what I’m struggling with to start therapy?
No. Many people start therapy because things are going well in many areas of life, but they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or know they want something to feel different. You don't have to wait until things get worse before asking for help.
Do I have to talk about my past?
Not necessarily. Sometimes looking at earlier experiences can help us understand why certain patterns developed, but the goal isn't to stay in the past. We'll look back when it helps us understand what's happening today. I won't ask you to relive what you went through, and you can always choose what you do and don't want to talk about. We can still move forward.
What is CBT and how does it help with overthinking?
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps us understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Rather than trying to think positively, we'll look at the patterns that may be making things harder and practice handling situations in ways that are more helpful.
What is EMDR and is it right for me?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that can help you process difficult or traumatic experiences and reduce their emotional impact. I incorporate EMDR when it makes sense for your needs. If it's a good fit, we'll talk through how it works before deciding whether to incorporate it into your therapy.
Who do you work with?
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, overthinking, depression, trauma, grief, caregiver stress, major life transitions, and challenges related to health, weight, and lifestyle change. Many of my clients are functioning well on the outside but feel overwhelmed or disconnected on the inside.
What should I expect during a free 15-minute consultation call?
The consultation is a brief, no-pressure opportunity to talk about what's bringing you to therapy, what you're hoping for, and whether we might be a good fit. You can ask questions about my approach, the therapy process, or anything else you'd like to know before getting started.
Do you accept insurance?
I am an out-of-network provider, so clients pay directly at the time of service. Many insurance plans provide partial reimbursement for out-of-network mental health services. I'm happy to provide a monthly superbill that you can submit to your insurance company.
Where do you provide online therapy?
I provide online therapy to clients who are physically located in New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Florida, Texas, and Colorado at the time of their session.
