When Anxiety Becomes a Cycle

You might be here because anxiety doesn’t just show up once and leave.
It keeps looping.

You worry.
You overthink.
You try to get ahead of it by avoiding, preparing, controlling, or seeking reassurance.
For a moment, that helps.
Then the anxiety comes back louder, faster, or in a different form.

Afterward, you might judge yourself for how you reacted.
Why did I do that?
Why can’t I just handle this?
Why does this feel so hard for me?

Over time, this cycle can take over how you make decisions, how you relate to people, and how safe you feel inside your own mind.

This Isn’t a Personal Failure. It’s a Pattern.

Anxiety is not a sign that something is wrong with you.
It’s often the result of patterns, processes, and responses that developed for a reason.

Many people were never taught:

• how anxiety works

• how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact

• how avoidance and reassurance can quietly keep anxiety going

• how self-criticism intensifies emotional reactions

If no one ever helped you understand these patterns, it makes sense that anxiety now feels unpredictable or out of control.

Therapy helps you see the cycle clearly and learn where you actually have choice.

How I help

I’m a licensed therapist in New York State and the founder of Teletherapy AG, a virtual therapy practice serving adults throughout New York.

I offer active, skills-based therapy focused on changing how you respond to internal experiences, not just talking about them. Therapy with me is about learning new ways to relate to anxiety, panic, worry, and discomfort so they no longer dictate your choices or limit your life.

My work is grounded in the Unified Protocol, an evidence-based approach that focuses on the common patterns underneath many emotional experiences. Rather than treating concerns as separate problems or relying heavily on labels, we look at the shared processes that keep difficult emotional experiences going, such as avoidance, overthinking, emotional reactivity, and harsh self-judgment.

This is not a spiritual approach, not a somatic-only therapy, and not a space for venting without direction. Therapy involves learning new ways to interpret what’s happening inside you and practicing different responses, even when emotions feel intense or uncomfortable.

You don’t have to be perfect.
You just have to be willing to learn.

Sessions are collaborative, grounded, and practical. We slow things down, look at your patterns with clarity, and build skills you can actually use in your everyday life.

I’m also a first-generation, West Indian New Yorker 🇹🇹🇧🇧🗽. That lived experience shapes how I show up in the therapy space. There’s no pressure to code-switch here or fit into a version of therapy that doesn’t feel authentic to you.

Clients often tell me, “I’ve never thought about my emotions this way before.” That shift, from feeling overwhelmed by internal experiences to understanding how they work, is often where meaningful change begins.

What Changes in Therapy

Over time, clients often notice shifts like:

• Less avoidance and more willingness to stay present with discomfort

• Reduced overthinking and rumination

• Less reliance on reassurance or control behaviors

• More flexibility in how they respond to anxiety

• Reduced harsh self-judgment when emotions show up

• Greater confidence in handling internal experiences without spiraling

• A clearer sense of choice, even when anxiety is present

The goal is not to eliminate anxiety completely, but to change your relationship with it so it no longer runs your life.
