A Little Bit About You
You've perfected the art of seeming like you have it all together, but on the inside it feels like things are falling apart. You're dealing with high amounts of stress, your worry keeps you up at night, and you have difficulties saying nice things to yourself.
You have big dreams and life goals, but somehow you can't quite keep up with day-to-day demands. Outside influences and pressures are bringing you down, you find yourself procrastinating on important tasks, and avoidance has become your go-to coping mechanism.
Your anxiety is getting in the way of your happiness. You’re trapped in a never-ending cycle of doubt, and you're tired of feeling stressed, anxious, and burned out.
You have thought about therapy, but you find yourself hesitating to take that next step. You know that something needs to change, but you feel ashamed for not being able to work through these challenges on your own. I genuinely get it, and you deserve to take care of yourself with the support of someone who is trained to help you navigate through these difficult times.
If you are feeling overwhelmed or burned out by your stress, anxiety, perfectionism or self-doubt, you have come to the right place. I'm glad you are here and I'd love to help!
A Little Bit About Me
I have a special interest in helping women experiencing self-doubt, worry, overthinking, perfectionism, procrastination, overwhelm, or burnout. I provide a comfortable and supportive space where you can process your unique challenges, feel empowered, thrive in your relationships, implement the changes you are seeking, and experience lasting growth and healing.
I provide therapy that's relatable and relevant to your mental health, and because I want you to get the most out of our time together, we'll cover everything from communication and boundaries to coping and self-care. Check out my areas of focus to learn more.
Finding the right therapist is time-consuming, daunting, and, at times, frustrating. You spend loads of time searching for profiles, reading about therapeutic approaches, and wondering if or when you should reach out. Take a look around, and if you like what you see, please reach out. I'd love to connect and discuss how I can be of support.
A Little Bit About Therapy
My clients appreciate my warm and inviting yet direct approach. I am an active participant in therapy and I will not tiptoe around your challenges. Your time is valuable and I want you to get the most out of therapy.
There's not a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I cater therapy to your unique needs, whether that's diving in to see what's been keeping you stuck, helping you unpack years worth of stress, anxiety, or self-doubt, tackling underlying patterns and themes, or providing you with a toolbox full of coping techniques. I will support and encourage you in a way that works best for your healing process.
I understand that there is a lot going on underneath all of that stress and anxiety, and I'm here to help you unpack everything that's weighing you down. The goal is to help you get unstuck, feel confident in your ability to manage your stressors, and not feel so overwhelmed all of the time.
Coming to therapy doesn't mean you are crazy, that there is something drastically wrong with you, or that you need to be fixed. Coming to therapy is taking care of yourself, finding security in who you are, and working through the challenges that are holding you back. Therapy might just be exactly what you need.
If you're ready to get started or would like to know more about how I can be of support, get in touch. I offer a 15-minute phone or video consultation so you can get a feel for whether I am a good fit for you. I'd love to hear from you!
