Struggling with anxiety? Feeling overwhelmed? Needing more reassurance in close relationships? I get it, despite playing by the rules, you find yourself feeling behind. Maybe recent stressors have nudged you to consider seeking help. Maybe you have past grief, religious hurt, or trauma that is ready to be healed. It sounds like your old ways of surviving just aren’t working for you anymore. Together, we can new ways to thrive. I would be honored to provide the encouragement and support to live with peace, confidence, and hope.
I support teens and adults who are anxious, over-achieving, and grieving. I too, am an anxious overachiever, who has found deep growth and healing in counseling. I use my background as an educator to connect with others as we wade through confusing and challenging emotions and experiences.
The first step takes courage, yet the freedom on the other side is worth it. Reach out to schedule a free phone consult with me today. Just a short phone call to ask questions to see if I am a good fit for you. It’s time you prioritize your wellness. It’s time to prioritize you.
