Anxiety and Perfectionism Therapy for
Women Seeking Real, Meaningful Change
Specializing in anxiety and perfectionism therapy in New York and New Jersey
I’m not here to “fix” you. I am here to empower you.
If your thoughts are getting ahead of you in an endless series of what you could have said wrong or what could go wrong, you may find that no matter how hard you try, your anxiety does not let up. What most people don’t see is how much you struggle on the inside, but all they notice is the stellar work you produce on the outside. You’re tired of pretending that everything is okay. You want to learn how to manage your anxiety, perfectionism, and inner critic. We can identify the best approaches that support you so that you can safely come down from the anxiety cliff and regain control over your life again.
Does this sound like you?
Hearing the inner critic say, “You shouldn’t have said that”
Feeling overwhelmed with “what if” something goes wrong
Experiencing chronic stress, exhaustion, or overwhelm
Telling yourself that “you messed up”
You’ve been trying to manage anxiety on your own. But you don’t have to do it alone.
My name is Sonia. I have been a therapist for over twenty years, and I specialize in helping women with anxiety, perfectionism, and relationship challenges associated with anxiety. I understand that anxiety can make even something as simple as taking a walk nearly impossible.
Together, we can talk honestly about the challenges you’re facing. We can look at when and how anxiety worsens for you. More importantly, we can address how to reduce or perhaps stop its frequency. My therapy practice utilizes evidence-based methods like psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT).
One way I help is to better equip you by teaching you that one method can interrupt intrusive thoughts and another method may diffuse jitteriness in the body, and I can help you use these methods between sessions. My intention is to partner with you so that you can actively participate in improving your mental health and move toward living your best life possible.

How We’ll Work Together
During a brief phone call, you get a chance to talk about what matters to you, and why you might be seeking therapy. There’s no pressure.
During our first meeting, you get to talk about what’s on your mind. I provide some prompts to structure our conversation. You get to share the things you want and nothing that you don’t want. I provide you support and guidance.
We meet weekly to help you break free from anxiety and perfectionism. During the process, I will listen to you, encourage you, challenge you, and help you make the necessary changes to live a more fulfilled and confident life.
Therapy sessions are offered in the states of New York & New Jersey. Consultation calls are free.
