Anxiety Therapy

Helping you find lasting calm, clarity and confidence.

Anxiety can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to control your life. Whether you're struggling with constant worry, panic attacks, social anxiety, health anxiety or stress that never seems to end, you deserve effective, compassionate support. As an experienced anxiety therapist, I help adults, teens, and professionals understand the root of their anxiety and develop practical tools to create lasting change. Therapy is personalized, evidence-based, and focused on helping you feel calmer, more confident, and in control.

Common questions

A few specifics.

I've tried therapy before — will this be different?

It can be. Maria pairs CBT with somatic and mindfulness work, so anxiety isn't only talked about — it's worked with in the body.

Can therapy help if I'm also dealing with depression?

Yes. Anxiety and depression often travel together and are treated together. We'll tailor the approach to your situation.

Will I have to talk about hard things right away?

No. Pace is collaborative. We build steadiness first, then go where you're ready to go.

Is this available via telehealth?

Yes — secure video sessions across Florida, or in-person at the Weston office.
