Online Therapy for Adults Navigating Doubt, Anxiety, and Self-Criticism in NYC
A Space to Lay Down the "Shoulds"
and Navigate Self-Criticism, Shame, & Guilt
When the ways you've learned to survive start to feel like they're holding you back.
You may be doing your best to keep up, while quietly feeling exhausted inside.
The Physical Toll
Discomfort such as persistent fatigue to stomach pains.
The Mental Loop
Over-analyzing every word and move, scrambling for relief.
The Emotional Gap
Seeming “fine” but feeling a level of unrest, disconnect, and numbness.
Weight of Expectations
The sense of responsibility for everyone’s comfort.
You don’t have to "fix it"
on your own.
My name is Ann, and I provide therapy in NYC for adults feeling stuck in an internal cycle of thought that leaves them feeling anxious and exhausted, feeling hopeless that things could change.
I work with you to help you understand, identify, and untangle your patterns so that you can feel hopeful and empowered to live a life beyond worries and self-doubt.
My approach prioritizes your personal experience and needs to help you feel in control of yourself, navigating with more intention and feeling steadier within yourself.
Areas of Support
Anxiety
& the Inner Critic
There’s a way to navigate what keeps you second-guessing.
Burnout
& Emotional Exhaustion
Running on empty and ready for something to shift.
Identity
& Sense of Worth
When who you are feels shaped by everyone but you.
You may relate to more than one of these areas.
I provide a space to help you understand how these experiences may be connected for you and to explore those areas to help you out of feeling stuck.
How We'll Work Together
1. Start with a Consultation
No need to have the “right” words. We have a conversation about what you are struggling with, even if it feels unclear in the moment.
2. Sessions at Your Pace
We take it one step at a time, creating a “map” that will help you get from feeling stuck in a cycle to identifying new possibilities that help you move forward.
3. Changes That Last
We address the symptoms as well as the root of your experience to instill change beyond just management.
