When Your Mind Won’t Let Go

You might feel like your mind is always working overtime.

You replay conversations.
You analyze decisions long after they’ve passed.
You imagine worst-case scenarios and then try to prepare for all of them.
You Google symptoms, double-check sensations, or seek reassurance, only to feel briefly calmer before the worry returns.

Sometimes the thoughts feel intrusive or unsettling. Other times they feel logical, convincing, and impossible to ignore.

No matter the form, the result is often the same: mental exhaustion, difficulty focusing, and a sense that your mind is running you instead of the other way around.

Overthinking Isn’t the Problem. The Cycle Is.

Many people assume the issue is the thoughts themselves.
If I could just stop thinking like this, I’d be fine.

But chronic worry and intrusive thoughts are usually part of a larger pattern involving:

• monitoring for threat or certainty

• trying to think your way out of discomfort

• seeking reassurance or answers

• mentally reviewing to prevent mistakes

• judging yourself for not being able to stop

These responses make sense, especially if you value responsibility, awareness, or control. Unfortunately, they often keep the worry loop going.

Therapy focuses on changing how you respond to thoughts, not eliminating them.

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.

We pay close attention to how worry, mental checking, symptom monitoring, and reassurance-seeking show up, and how these responses can unintentionally keep anxiety going.

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 You Work On in Therapy

Together, we focus on helping you:

• Notice worry and intrusive thoughts without escalating them

• Reduce reassurance-seeking and mental checking

• Interrupt rumination loops

• Increase tolerance for uncertainty

• Respond to thoughts without treating them as threats

• Decrease harsh self-judgment around thinking patterns

The goal is not to control your thoughts, but to change the role they play in your life.

What Shifts Over Time

Clients often notice that:

• thoughts feel less urgent or sticky

• worry takes up less mental space

• reassurance-seeking decreases

• decision-making becomes easier

• confidence grows in handling uncertainty

• self-trust increases

Thoughts may still show up, but they no longer dictate behavior or drain emotional energy.
