The Sunday Scaries aren't just about Monday, they're often about a feeling of being stuck, and you don't get unstuck by thinking positive, or worrying about what will happen. If you're feeling that something is holding you back, it's helpful to understand the mental patterns that trip us up. I'm a licensed therapist in West Hollywood CA and I've put some of my reflections from a decade of experience, and the cutting edge research in clinical psychology into a free mini-course called 'The Missing Piece'. Comment the word "UNSTUCK" below and I'll get you access.

Maybe you've tried the meditation apps, the breathing techniques and the digital detox but you're still feeling
stuck with anxiety, worry, overthinking or procrastination?

I'm a licensed therapist in West Hollywood. I treat anxiety for a living, and I made a free five-part mini masterclass course that walks through how this actually works:

- The engine that turns a passing thought into an all-night spiral. - The four anxiety archetypes, and which one fits.
- The habits that feel like relief but keep it going.
- What to do with when you feel stuck in your head that actually
works.

Five short videos. No cost, no catch, just some of the tools I share with my clients.

P.S. This is general education, not therapy or a
diagnosis. But most people tell me it's the first time
anxiety actually made sense.

When everything else goes quiet, that’s when the worries hit.

- What if I said the wrong thing?
- What if they hate me?
- What if this is it?

Worry looks different for everyone, but I help people see the patterns underneath every worried thought, and it might not be what you think it is.
