ANXIETY THERAPY FOR HIGH-ACHIEVING WOMEN AND MOMS IN MASSACHUSETTS
High-functioning anxiety is exhausting. You can be successful, capable and “holding it all together”- and still feel overwhelmed, on edge, and never able to relax.
VIRTUAL THERAPY IN MASSACHUSETTS FOR WOMEN
You don’t need to be having panic attacks for anxiety to be taking up wayyyy too much space in your life.
OVERTHINKING. OVERGIVING. OVER IT.
At work: Struggling to focus, zoning out in meetings, procrastinating until the last minute, then overworking to “make up for it.”
At home: Snapping over small things, feeling touched‑out, getting resentful about the mental load, then beating yourself up for it.
In your body: Tight chest, constant knots in your stomach, racing thoughts at night, a nervous system that never really powers down.
In your relationship with yourself: Calling yourself “lazy” or “too much,” second‑ guessing every decision, wondering what happened to the version of you who wasn’t this tired and on edge all the time.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO KEEP LIVING IN OVERDRIVE
Anxiety therapy helps you calm the noise in your head and reconnect with your true self.
✓ Understand what’s fueling your racing thoughts
✓ Regulate your nervous system + feel safer in your body
✓ Break free from perfectionism + people pleasing
✓ Build boundaries that actually stick
✓ Feel more present, confident + in control of your life again
HOW WE APPROACH ANXIETY
More understanding what’s underneath them.
Less managing symptoms.
We work with your thoughts.
The overthinking, worst-case scenarios, perfectionism, self-criticism, people pleasing, and constant need to make sure everything is okay.
and we work with your body.
Because you cannot always think your way out of a dysregulated nervous system.
MKWC licensed therapists integrate various evidence-based modalities including CBT, somatic therapy, attachment-informed care, IFS-informed work, and psychoeducation on what fits you best.
WHAT IF YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO…
think about every detail, about every situation, all of the time?
Therapy can help you quiet the mental noise and create the life you dream of.

Sessions with me are a mix of real talk, nervous‑system support, and practical tools. Yes, we talk—but it’s not just you venting into the void while I nod.
We’ll:
name what’s actually going on (burnout, resentment, anxiety, mental load),
notice what your body is doing in the moment (tight chest, racing thoughts, shutdown),
and practice simple, doable strategies you can use between sessions (breath work, grounding, boundary scripts, tiny behavioral shifts).
You can expect a grounded, non‑judgmental space where you can swear, be honest, and not have to sugarcoat how hard things feel. I’ll ask questions, reflect patterns I see, and offer concrete ideas—not just “how does that make you feel?”
-
It depends on what you’re carrying and what you want to change. Some clients come in for a few months to get out of crisis/survival mode and learn tools to manage anxiety and burnout. Others stay longer to work on deeper patterns around perfectionism, boundaries, and self‑worth.
We’ll talk about your goals early on and check in regularly about how things are feeling. There’s no minimum “requirement” and no pressure to stay longer than you want. My job is to help you get to a place where you feel more stable, resourced, and able to handle life without needing weekly sessions forever.

While I can’t promise specific outcomes, you’re likely a good fit if you’re a millennial woman (often a mom, often with a spicy/ADHD brain) who is:
anxious or “on edge” most of the time
burned out from being the responsible one for everyone
resentful about the mental load, then guilty about feeling resentful
tired of feeling like you’re “high‑functioning” on the outside and falling apart inside
My approach tends to work well for people who:
want someone honest and direct but warm (no fluff, no judgment),
are curious about how their nervous system and body are involved—not just their thoughts,
and are ready to make small, realistic changes rather than chasing a total life overhaul.
If you’ve tried “just think positive” or basic coping skills and they haven’t really touched the root of things, this kind of therapy may be a better fit.
-
The first step is to schedule a consultation (a short, no‑pressure phone call). In that conversation, we’ll:
talk about what’s been going on (anxiety, burnout, mental load, etc.),
I’ll share how I’d approach it and answer any questions you have about therapy with me,
and together we’ll decide if it feels like a good fit.
If we’re a match, we’ll schedule your first full session and I’ll walk you through the simple intake steps. If not, I’m happy to point you toward other options. The goal of that first contact is for you to get a feel for me and for you to leave with more clarity, not more pressure.
