Anxiety Therapy for High-Functioning Women
Helping you get unstuck, manage stressors, and not feel so overwhelmed
*I am accepting new clients & would love to connect!
A Little Bit About You
You're a reliable, high-functioning woman—someone who looks like they have their whole life together, but on the inside it feels like things are falling apart. You're dealing with high amounts of stress, your anxiety keeps you up at night, and you find it hard to say nice things to yourself. Your lack of confidence, indecisiveness, and inability to say "no" are weighing on you, and you're tired of feeling overwhelmed, less than, or burned out.
Welcome, I'm glad you made it here! I'd love to help you get unstuck, feel confident in your ability to manage stressors, and not feel so overwhelmed all of the time.
My clients appreciate my warm and inviting yet direct approach. I'm 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. I'm a fellow anxious perfectionist, so I truly get it and when I tell you that I understand or I hear you, I definitely do.
There's 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. When you're ready to take the next step, schedule an initial session or a free 15-minute consultation to see if I'm a good fit. Looking forward to connecting with you!
A Little Bit About Therapy
My clients appreciate my warm and inviting yet direct approach. I show up as my authentic self and I am extremely transparent. As a fellow being undergoing my own mental health journey, I seek to validate your experiences by sharing space with you as someone who can truly understand your difficulties.
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 and anxiety, 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.
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.
When you are ready to take the next step, I invite you to connect with me. I offer a free 15-minute phone or video consultation so you can get a feel for whether I'm a good fit for you. I'd love to hear from you!
A Little Bit About Me
I'm an anxious perfectionist, so I truly get it and when I tell you that I hear or understand you, I definitely do. I know that there's more to your stress and anxiety than overthinking, burnout, and not feeling good enough. This is why I'm so passionate about this specific area of counseling and why I do this work. If you're here because you want to be seen and heard by a therapist who gets it and can help, you're in the right place.
I provide therapy that's relatable, approachable, 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, schedule an initial session or a 15-minute consultation. I'd love to connect and discuss how I can be of support!
