Anxiety
Treatment
for Women
in California

Feel calm and confident engaging with life.

Providing mindfulness-based psychotherapy and skill-building for adults and older teens who identify as women, female, or nonbinary. All cultures, races, and sexualities welcome.

  • INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

    Anxiety can painfully wreck relationships, work, creativity, focus, and your feeling of self-worth by leaving you drained, exhausted, and unable to escape the constant tension and fear you feel. Maybe there are even days when you wake up dreading the day and struggle even to get out of bed, leaving you feeling worthless, guilty, and unproductive.

    You may worry that you will never start the day excited and confident. You may wish that you could connect deeply with other people and grow your sense of belonging, that you could experience more closeness in your relationships with your partners, friends, or children.

    Individual therapy can help you discover a well of strength and courage that re-engages you with your life and relationships.

    Individual Treatment for General Anxiety, Anxiety Disorders, Social Anxiety, Relationship Anxiety, Performance Anxiety, and Anxiety at Work. Psychotherapy available for residents of California.
    Coaching available to clients outside California.

  • SKILL-BUILDING, TRAINING, & CONSULTATION

    Individuals are not the only ones who suffer from anxiety. We live in a chaotic, changing, scary time. More and more, we feel the effects of societal pressure to be productive, the already-devastating reverberations of climate change, socioeconomic shifts, and racial and social equity problems. These stressors can result in organization- and system-level consequences.

    Are you looking for a way to bring a better balance of productivity and employee wellness to your business? Are you seeing that members of your group or organization need support?

    I bring 14 years of experience teaching stress management and mindfulness skills: small group classes, individual coaching and rehabilitative sessions, workshop facilitation, organization consultation, and support groups.

    Consultation, teaching, and skill-building workshops are available to groups and organizations within and outside California.

Hi, I’m Iris.

I help women, female-identifying, queer, and nonbinary people with reducing or eliminating anxiety, chronic worry, and stress. If your anxiety causes you to struggle at work, creates conflict in relationships, or makes you feel lonely and disconnected, working together in therapy could help you feel calmer and more confident. You don’t have to suffer alone.

I offer a safe, non-judgmental, friendly environment with careful attention to your pace and comfort level. I can identify strengths you may not be aware of. All parts of you are welcome.

 

In-Person and
Remote Options

My office is located in Ukiah, CA, but I also commonly see Bay Area clients and clients throughout the state of California. I offer Telehealth sessions and in-person sessions. Telehealth has been shown to be as effective as traditional treatment. You can choose whether to meet via video or phone. Telehealth is available permanently for clients outside Mendocino County.

 
 

“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening, that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost.”

— Martha Graham
