ANOTHER ANXIETY EPISODE? I am here for you; I will help you with your daily struggles of anxiety symptoms. I know that you are tired of living in a state of panic, but you don't know how to change things or how to make the FEAR go away. Staying home in your SAFE ZONE rather than going out in public is your way to avoid these controlling symptoms of feeling like you are having a heart attack, fear of dying, feeling like you can't breathe, palms are sweaty, fear of being negatively judged, fear that people think that you are stupid, are fearful that you are going to do something "stupid looking," or fear that you are going crazy.

We all carry baggage. Both the past and the present can weigh us down. Make time for self-care whenever you can. Why not get going right now? Call or email me to let go of the past, take control of the present, and plan for the future. We are connected to Cumberland, Moore, Harnett, Robinson, New Hanover, and Lee counties in North Carolina and are proud to serve 1st responders and veterans. Through my involvement in the military first and 1st responder community, I understand the unique challenges that 1st responder, military personnel, and their families face.

I believe in the power of a collaborative therapeutic relationship, where we work together to explore and navigate the complexities of life.
