Anxiety and Depression Therapy
Some of the heaviest burdens are the ones no one else can see
Many women aren’t just carrying busy schedules. They’re carrying invisible emotional burdens. The pressure to be strong, the fear of disappointing others, the responsibility of keeping the peace, the constant worry about the future, and the belief that they should be able to handle it all on their own.
Sometimes these burdens emerge and become especially heavy during times of transition, such as starting college or a new job, becoming a mother, navigating a relationship challenge, or other major life changes. For others, they’ve been quietly building over many years.
I provide therapy for women experiencing anxiety and depression in Roseville, CA and online throughout California, Florida, and Mississippi.
You may recognize yourself here…
– You replay conversations long after they’ve ended.
– You imagine worst-case scenarios before they’ve had a chance to unfold.
– You wake up exhausted, or lie awake unable to quiet your thoughts.
– You feel emotionally drained, yet somehow unable to truly rest.
– You wonder why things that used to feel manageable now feel overwhelming.
– You find yourself withdrawing from people or activities you once enjoyed.
– You miss the version of yourself who worried less, laughed more, and felt hopeful about the future.
From the outside, it may look like you’re managing.
Inside, you’re carrying far more than anyone realizes.
Your anxiety and depression make sense.
Anxiety and depression rarely appear without a story.
Sometimes they develop after years of carrying responsibilities that were never yours to hold. Sometimes they’re shaped by painful relationships, perfectionism, self-abandonment, grief, burnout, or constantly putting everyone else’s needs before your own. Anxiety and depression may also follow experiences that left you feeling unsafe or alone.
Anxiety and depression are not signs that you’re weak or broken. They’re often your mind and body’s way of telling you that something needs attention. When you’ve spent years carrying too much, ignoring your own needs, or simply surviving, it’s understandable that eventually you’ll become overwhelmed.
Therapy isn’t about fixing you. It’s about understanding your story with compassion so you can begin moving forward with greater clarity, confidence and peace. We’ll make sense of what’s been going on and help you build a life that feels more manageable, more connected and more like your own.
You don’t have to wait until you’re completely overwhelmed before asking for help. Anxiety and depression are treatable. Healing begins when you decide you don’t want to keep carrying this alone.
How Therapy Can Help…
Therapy for anxiety and depression works by helping you understand yourself underneath your symptoms and then building the skills to respond to challenges with greater confidence.
Over time, many women notice they have more control over their anxious thoughts. They reconnect with themselves and the people they love, and experience a sense of calm that once felt out of reach.
My approach is integrative because everyone is different. I customize treatment to what’s most useful for you rather than applying the same framework to everyone. Here are some evidence-based approaches I may use to support meaningful change:
- EFiT (Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy): Understanding the attachment patterns that contribute to anxiety and depression
- Internal Family Systems (IFS): Developing compassion for the parts of you that carry fear or old emotional wounds.
- CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy): Interrupting thought patterns that keep you feeling stuck.
- DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy): Building skills to regulate emotions and respond rather than react
- ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy): Reconnecting with your personal values.
Is therapy with me right for you?
I specialize in working with adult women of all ages who are ready to slow down, look inward, and invest in understanding themselves more deeply.
Many of the women I work with are capable, successful, and deeply caring. From the outside, they often look like they’re managing just fine. On the inside, they’re exhausted from carrying so much for so long. You may be a good fit if you are:
- Ready to understand yourself more deeply rather than simply coping with your symptoms.
- Moving through a significant life transition and feeling emotionally overloaded
- A high-achieving professional who appears confident but feels overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally depleted.
- A mom feeling overwhelmed and exhausted
- Healing from a childhood with an emotionally immature, or critical parent
- Navigating the aftermath of difficult or painful relationships
I offer secure video sessions throughout California, Florida, and Mississippi, and in-person sessions in Roseville, CA.

Taking the First Step…
You don’t have to keep carrying this alone.
Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable. You may wonder whether your struggles are “serious enough,” whether you’ll be understood, or whether you can truly get better.
Those questions are completely normal.
Let’s start with a free 20-minute phone consultation where we can get to know each other. You can share what brought you to therapy and ask any questions you have, and I can tell you a little about how I work. From there, we’ll decide together if it’s a good fit. If it is, we schedule your first appointment and get started.
You can call me at (916) 705-2896 or reach out through the contact form on my website.
There’s a reason you feel this way. You don’t have to have it all figured out to reach out.

Frequently Asked Questions About Anxiety and Depression
How do I know if I need therapy for anxiety and depression?
If anxiety or depression is regularly getting in the way of your ability to work, maintain relationships, take care of yourself, or experience any real sense of enjoyment or meaning, therapy can help. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many women reach out because they’re tired of carrying everything on their own and want life to feel lighter again.

Can I have anxiety and depression at the same time?
Yes. Many women experience anxiety and depression together. Anxiety often feels like constant worry, tension or “what if.” Depression tends to feel heavier, making it difficult to find motivation, experience joy, or feel connected to yourself and others. Because the two overlap, therapy addresses both together rather than treating them as separate problems.
How do I know if my therapist is the right fit for me?
Therapy works best when you feel safe, understood, and genuinely accepted by your therapist. My approach is warm, thoughtful, and active. I am listening deeply during sessions to help you understand yourself in a new way. Clients often tell me I gently challenge them with questions that help them get un-stuck and move forward with greater clarity.
What should I expect in my first therapy session?
Our first conversation is about getting to know you, understanding what’s been weighing on you, and discussing what you hope will be different. You don’t need to have everything figured out first. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and hopeful with a clearer sense of what’s keeping you stuck.
Does anxiety and depression therapy work online?
Yes. Research shows that online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy for many concerns, including anxiety and depression. I offer secure virtual sessions throughout California, Florida and Mississippi, as well as in-person appointments in my Roseville office.
How long does therapy for anxiety and depression typically last?
Many women begin noticing meaningful changes within the first few months, while deeper healing often takes longer. We’ll regularly revisit your goals and adjust therapy based on your progress. Most clients begin with weekly 50-minute sessions to build momentum and move to biweekly appointments as the work progresses.
