When anxiety becomes unmanageable, it may be time to seek help.
Battling anxiety day in and out is exhausting. You’re tired of imagining worst-case-scenarios and can’t seem to turn off the constant "what if" thoughts. Feelings of discomfort or panic may be leading you to avoid certain places or situations, and it’s difficult to make sense of why this is happening in the first place.
Hearing things like, "it's all in your head," or "don't worry so much," makes us feel even worse, like somehow anxiety is our fault. I want to assure you, anxiety is not a choice or something we can just will away. If it was that simple, anxiety wouldn't be the most common mental health issue in the entire U.S.
So many of us have been there, including me! I want to help empower you to gain relief from anxiety and reclaim control of your life. Please know that positive change is possible, and within reach.
how might your life be different without constant worry?
Imagine the freedom of making choices based on your values, rather than your fears.
Think of how it would feel to be fully present and be able to truly enjoy life’s small and big joys.
Picture yourself socializing with confidence, nurturing and building meaningful relationships.
Beyond easing anxiety; it’s possible to craft a life of purpose, passion, and joy.
Positive Change begins with the decision to seek support.
My goal is to create a space where you can express yourself freely, without fear of being judged or misunderstood. Working with me is like chatting with a trusted friend— relatable, down to earth and warm, while also providing professional guidance. I want to help empower you to overcome fear, build confidence, and finally live life on your own terms.
