Anxiety Therapy
Anxiety Therapy in NYC, Hoboken, Montclair, and Online
Anxiety therapy for the overthinkers, the over-preparers, the people who look fine and feel anything but. Individual therapy in NYC, Hoboken, NJ, Montclair, NJ, and online.
We get to know your anxiety in a different way.
You've read the books. You know the breathing techniques. You could probably teach a class on "grounding exercises" at this point. Maybe you’ve been to therapy in the past (and still feel the same). You may be lying awake at 1am replaying a text you sent four hours ago. Or you may simply not know what “slowing down” means. Wherever you are in your journey of coping with anxiety, I am here to meet you where you are.
High-functioning anxiety is a strange thing to live with, because from the outside, you look like you have it together. You're the reliable one. The one who shows up early, over-prepares, double-checks, triple-checks. But inside, your mind is running a constant background program of what if and what did I do wrong and what's about to go wrong. You're exhausted in a way that's hard to explain to people who only see the polished version of you.
You might be here because:
Your brain won't stop scanning for the next problem, even when nothing's actually wrong
You're the "together" one and you're terrified of what happens if that cracks
Physical anxiety shows up for you — a tight chest, a racing heart, a stomach that's never quite settled
You over-function at work or in relationships to manage anxiety you don't talk about
You're tired of white-knuckling your way through things that should feel easier
My Story & Why I Do This Work:
I became a therapist because I know what it’s like to carry a lot—quietly.
As an Indian American daughter of immigrants, a high-achieving perfectionist, and someone who has navigated anxiety, relationship shifts, the grief of adulthood, and the complexities of fertility and reproductive health, I understand how heavy it can feel to be “the strong one” in every room.
Growing up, I learned early how to hold things together, how to adapt, how to succeed, and how to stay attuned to everyone else’s needs. These strengths shaped me—but they also made it hard to slow down, ask for help, or make space for my own emotions. Like many of my clients, I looked fine on the outside, even when the inside felt overwhelmed or overextended.
My personal experiences, paired with my clinical training at Columbia University and years working with anxiety, OCD, relationship dynamics, and fertility-related stress, shaped the way I show up as a therapist:
warm, attuned, direct when needed, culturally aware, and deeply human.
I don’t believe therapy should feel clinical or detached.
I don’t believe the therapist should be a blank slate.
And I don’t believe healing comes from skills alone (though yes, we talk about skills, too).
Therapy with me is a relationship, one where you’re allowed to bring the messy parts, the ambitious parts, the exhausted parts, and the parts you don’t show anyone. I’ve sat in those spaces myself, and I know how transformative it can be when someone truly gets you, names what’s underneath, and helps you feel less alone as you move through it.
My lived experience doesn’t replace my clinical expertise—but it informs the empathy, intuition, and cultural sensitivity I bring into every session. It’s why I’m drawn to working with high-achieving adults, women navigating fertility or reproductive trauma, individuals holding anxiety or intrusive thoughts, couples trying to reconnect, and teens figuring out who they are.
I do this work because I believe in creating the kind of therapeutic space I always wished existed: relational, grounding, evidence-based, and deeply supportive—especially for people who are used to being the strong one.

If You’re Ready, I’m Here To Support You:
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, OCD, fertility challenges, relationship stress, perfectionism, or the emotional weight of being a high-achieving human, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Therapy is a place to feel grounded again—to slow down, understand your patterns, and create real change with someone who truly gets it.
My role is to support you with warmth, expertise, and evidence-based tools… but also with real conversation, cultural awareness, and a therapeutic relationship that feels human, not clinical.
