Anxiety Treatment in California

Find Relief from Constant Worry and Overwhelm

Anxiety can show up in many forms—racing thoughts, sleepless nights, tension in your body, or a general sense of unease that follows you throughout the day. While occasional stress is a normal part of life, persistent anxiety can interfere with your relationships, career, and sense of self. You don’t have to navigate it alone.

​

As a California-based therapist experienced in working with multicultural individuals, I offer a grounded, culturally sensitive approach to anxiety treatment. Whether your anxiety stems from perfectionism, identity stress, family pressures, or past experiences, our work together can help you feel more present, clear, and in control.

Understanding Anxiety

Anxiety often shows up as:

  • Excessive worrying or overthinking

  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

  • Physical symptoms like muscle tension, headaches, or stomach issues

  • Panic attacks or intense fear

  • Sleep disruptions or chronic fatigue

  • Fear of judgment or failure

For many, anxiety doesn’t just "go away." It can stem from early life experiences, cultural expectations, systemic stressors, or current life transitions. Therapy provides a space to

 .better understand these roots and learn how to respond rather than react 

Why Seek Anxiety Treatment?

If anxiety is getting in the way of your daily life, your relationships, or your ability to feel at ease in your own mind and body, therapy can offer practical tools and meaningful insight. You might be:

  • A high-achieving professional struggling with burnout

  • Managing cultural or generational expectations that feel impossible to meet

  • Feeling overwhelmed by social interactions or public speaking

  • Navigating major life changes like a move, breakup, or career transition

  • Dealing with perfectionism, people-pleasing, or self-doubt

Therapy can help you build resilience, trust yourself, and feel more grounded—especially when anxiety has taken over your inner dialogue.

My Approach to Anxiety Treatment

There is no one-size-fits-all method for treating anxiety. I tailor each session to your unique experiences and goals, drawing from evidence-based practices including:

My approach integrates:

  • Mindfulness and Somatic Awareness: Helping you reconnect with your body and reduce physical symptoms of anxiety through breath work, grounding, and present-moment awareness.

  • Relational and Culturally Responsive Therapy: Exploring how cultural norms, family dynamics, and societal pressures shape your anxiety and how you relate to others.

  • Trauma-Informed Care: Honoring the role of past experiences, including complex or intergenerational trauma, and creating a space that feels safe, empowering, and collaborative.

Anxiety in Multicultural Contexts

Anxiety can look different across cultures. If you come from a collectivist background, anxiety might show up as guilt about disappointing your family, fear of not meeting community expectations, or internal conflict between cultural values and personal needs.

​

As a first-generation Iranian-American, I understand the complexity of navigating multiple identities. I work with clients who often feel pressure to succeed, avoid conflict, or hide their struggles. Together, we can explore how your background shapes your experience and identify supportive, culturally grounded strategies for relief.

What You Can Expect from Therapy

In our work together, we will:

  • Clarify your personal goals for therapy

  • Learn how anxiety operates in your body and mind

  • Identify triggers and underlying patterns

  • Practice coping tools to manage anxious moments in real-time

  • Strengthen your inner sense of safety, confidence, and trust

Over time, you can expect to feel more connected to yourself, more capable of making empowered choices, and less ruled by anxiety.

You’re Not Alone, and You Don’t Have to Push Through

You don’t need to wait for anxiety to become unmanageable before reaching out. Whether your experience is loud and persistent or quiet and chronic, therapy can help you feel less alone and more equipped.
