Anxiety Therapy for Teens & Young Adults
in Boca Raton & Telehealth Nationwide
Anxiety can show up in a lot of different ways: racing thoughts before a test, dread about a social interaction, a constant sense of pressure to perform, or a nagging feeling that something bad is about to happen even when everything looks fine on paper. For many of the teens, students, and young adults I work with, anxiety isn't a single dramatic moment. It's a low hum that's always running in the background, making everyday life feel harder than it should.
What Anxiety Can Look Like
Anxiety doesn't always look like worry on the surface. In the clients I see, it often shows up as:
-
Perfectionism and an intense fear of failing or disappointing others
-
Overthinking decisions, conversations, or how you're perceived
-
Physical symptoms like a racing heart, stomachaches, or trouble sleeping
-
Avoiding things that feel overwhelming such as school, work, social plans, new responsibilities
-
Irritability or shutting down, especially in high-achieving students and young professionals
If any of this sounds familiar, whether it's you, your child, or a teen in your life, you're not alone, and it's very treatable.
My Approach
I work with adolescents, teens, and young adults navigating anxiety related to school, work, relationships, and the pressure of high expectations, whether those expectations come from others or from yourself. Therapy with me isn't formal or clinical-feeling. I aim to create a space where you can actually be yourself, talk openly, and start to understand what's driving the anxiety instead of just managing the symptoms.
Together, we'll work on:
-
Identifying the thought patterns and pressures that are fueling the anxiety
-
Building practical tools to manage anxious moments as they come up
-
Addressing the root of it, not just the surface-level symptoms
-
Building confidence to handle stress, uncertainty, and big life transitions
Who I Work With
I specialize in working with high-achieving students and young professionals, middle and high schoolers, college students, graduate students, and those navigating the transition into their careers. I also see clients via telehealth throughout 40+ PSYPACT states, so location will never be a barrier to getting support.
Getting Started
If anxiety has been getting in the way of school, relationships, or just feeling like yourself, I offer a free 15-minute consultation to talk about what you're going through and see if we're a good fit.
