Anxiety Therapy in Hermosa Beach
​
Find calm in the chaos—healing starts here.
​
Anxiety isn’t just “worrying too much.” It can feel like a constant hum of fear in the background—racing thoughts, tightness in your chest, or a sense that something is always about to go wrong. Whether it shows up as panic, perfectionism, avoidance, or irritability, anxiety can quietly take over your life.
​
If you’re a high-functioning professional, a deep thinker, or someone who feels things intensely, anxiety might not be obvious on the outside—but inside, it can feel exhausting.

How I Work With Anxiety
​
As a Hermosa Beach therapist specializing in anxiety and overthinking, I take an integrative approach rooted in:
​
-
Depth-Oriented Therapy: Exploring the underlying emotional roots of your anxiety, including past experiences or beliefs that may still be shaping your reactions.
-
Mindfulness and Somatic Techniques: Helping you notice and regulate the physical sensations of anxiety, so you can respond instead of react.
-
Cognitive Insight: Identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns that fuel anxiety or self-doubt.
-
A Process of Acceptance: Learning to relate differently to your anxious mind—not fighting it, but understanding and soothing it.
Many of my clients say, “I’ve done so much work on myself, but I still feel stuck.” That’s often because anxiety is not just mental—it’s emotional, physical, and relational. Therapy is where we begin to connect the dots, gently and at your pace.​​​​
“When we return to the present moment, we begin to break the cycle of fear. Living in the now is how we reclaim peace from the mind’s anxious loops.” — Laura Malandrino
