What if anxiety no longer had control over you and, rather, you had control over your anxiety? I thought I had to figure this out on my own. I was more than happy to be shown otherwise, and my goal is to show you this too. Imagine you have a toolbox: That toolbox contains all you need to build a house, but maybe you are unsure of what tools to use for each floor. You have the tools- My goal is to help you understand what they are and how they work. To have the most sustainable home, a solid foundation is needed. With that, any possible future problems are more easily managed.
Whether you are feeling panicked, anxious, self conscious or just not feeling like yourself, I provide you with a safe space to explore this further. If you are a couple and you’re feeling like things are out of whack, I will help you to address concerns and feel more confident in handling the difficulties of a relationship.
I know the anxiety that comes along with striving for something that doesn't exist- "being perfect." If any of this sounds like you, give me a call or send me an email so we can discuss the possibility of beginning this journey together!
