Fort Lauderdale Anxiety Therapy

Anxiety is often a sympathetic nervous system response—your body’s natural "flight" reaction to perceived threats. While it’s normal to feel anxious from time to time, when this response is overactive, it can start to control your life. Instead of just managing anxiety, I focus on healing by helping your nervous system settle and respond to stress in healthier ways.

Through somatic therapy, we take the time to tune into the anxiety, understand what it's trying to communicate, and work on healing the underlying triggers. This allows you to break free from the patterns that are keeping you stuck and move closer to the life you want. Together, we work with both your mind and body to bring lasting relief.

You can absolutely live a fulfilling life with anxiety—it doesn’t have to control you. While managing anxiety is often part of the early steps in therapy, the goal is to reduce its intensity over time.

Panic attacks and constant fear don’t have to be part of your daily life.

It’s normal to feel anxious from time to time, and those feelings can even provide helpful information. But what you’re experiencing now doesn’t have to be your normal.

Somatic therapy helps your brain better recognize the difference between real threats and safety, making everyday challenges easier to handle.

You’ll learn to feel more settled, even after stressful moments, and build the capacity to face anxiety without letting it take over. You’ll feel more in control and find real relief.

How long does it take to see results from anxiety therapy?
The timeline for seeing results varies from person to person and depends on your unique experiences. Some people start to notice a shift after just a few sessions, while others—especially those who have been dealing with anxiety for a longer time or have experienced trauma—may take a little longer.

If anxiety is tied to difficult early life experiences, such as struggles with feeling safe or connected to caregivers, the healing process can take more time. But even in more complex situations, many people begin to feel some relief early on as their nervous system starts to settle.

Everyone’s experience of anxiety is different, and so is the path to healing. The key is creating lasting change, not quick fixes. Together, we’ll work at your pace to reduce the overwhelming feelings and help you feel more in control as you move through life.

I currently offer virtual sessions only. Somatic therapy can be just as effective online because you’re in a space that feels comfortable and familiar. Being at home allows you to use personal comfort items, like a cozy blanket or a favorite chair, and even have your pet nearby, which can help you feel more at ease during our work together.

This sense of safety and control in your environment can enhance the effectiveness of the therapy, making it easier for us to focus on your healing.

Plus, virtual sessions are much more convenient. You don’t have to take time off work, battle traffic, or worry about parking. It’s therapy that fits into your life, with less hassle and more comfort, so you can focus on what truly matters—your healing.

Individual 55 minute sessions are $180.
