Therapy for Anxiety, Overthinking and Perfectionism in New York & New Jersey
You may be a Gen Z or Millennial professional who is highly self-aware and insightful, yet still feels stuck in cycles of anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, or intrusive thoughts.
You may recognize yourself in experiences like:
Replaying conversations long after they happen
Overanalyzing decisions because you’re afraid to get them wrong
Feeling constant pressure to perform or succeed
Getting stuck in intrusive or obsessive thought loops
Looking successful on the outside but feeling mentally exhausted on the inside
If this sounds familiar, therapy can help you understand the deeper patterns driving these cycles and begin responding to your thoughts and emotions in a way that feels more manageable.
Does your mind feel like it’s constantly racing- filled with worries about what could go wrong, how you’ll meet impossible expectations, or how others might perceive you?
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, ambitious professionals who are highly self-aware, yet find themselves stuck in cycles of anxiety, perfectionism, and overthinking. Therapy can be a space where we slow down, understand deeper patterns driving these experiences, and begin responding to them differently.
At times it may feel like…
You’re trapped in a cycle of stress and worry that makes even simple decisions feel overwhelming.
No matter how much you accomplish, you still feel like you’re falling short because everything has to be perfect.
You struggle to say “no” or set boundaries, leaving you overcommitted, drained, and disconnected from your own needs.
You started to feel disconnected from yourself, your relationships, and the activities that once brought you joy.
Together, we'll uncover the deeper patterns driving these struggles and help you create meaningful, lasting change.
I’m Kiera.
Therapy is not just about understanding your patterns- it’s about learning how to change them.
I’m Kiera, a Manhattan-based Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with extensive experience working with thoughtful, high achieving adults who want to understand themselves more deeply and create meaningful change in their lives. My approach is collaborative, honest, and practical. In our work together, we don’t just talk about patterns- we work to understand where they come from and how to begin responding to them differently in real time. Therapy can become a space where you build self-trust, develop healthier ways of relating to your thoughts and emotions, and begin moving through life with greater clarity and confidence.

In our sessions, we will explore various evidence-based techniques tailored specifically to your unique experiences and needs.

Perfectionism can lead to constant self-criticism, fear of failure, and a relentless pursuit of unattainable standards. In therapy, we will address the underlying beliefs that fuel perfectionism and work towards embracing your authentic self.

People-pleasing often stems from a fear of rejection or need for approval. Using evidence-based practices, I can help you challenge these patterns, set healthy boundaries, and prioritize your well-being without guilt.
I’m here to help with all of life’s transitions.
