What we’ll work on

Create a life where…

You wake up with clarity and calm, ready to face the day. You don't feel weighed down by stress and anxiety. You've grown and evolved. You confidently move through the day, knowing you can handle what’s in store.

Anxiety is no longer in the driver’s seat, dictating every move. Instead, your mind is calm, and you feel comfortable in your own skin. You trust yourself and your abilities. You've developed the tools to manage uncertainty and handle distress. You no longer feel the need to soothe yourself with unhealthy habits.

You've learned to trust your intuition. You notice glimmers of joy and appreciate the small moments. But most of all, you know you can make decisions without second-guessing yourself. You're not just surviving—you are alive.

Change is possible.

FAQs

  • That's a good question. Anxiety doesn't look the same in everybody.

    Some common symptoms include:

    • Intense worry or panic

    • Racing thoughts

    • Difficulty relaxing

    • Poor sleep

    • Difficulty making decisions

    • Increased Irritability

    • Physical symptoms such as pain, headaches, or digestive issues

    If your worries are persistent, overwhelming, or starting to interfere with your life, it's a sign that you're dealing with anxiety rather than just everyday stress.

  • Yes, a little anxiety can be healthy.

    In small amounts, anxiety is a natural and helpful response to stress or a potential threat. It can keep you alert, focused, and motivated to take action. For example, feeling a little anxious before an important event can push you to prepare and perform at your best. This type of anxiety is called "productive anxiety."

    But too much anxiety creates emotional paralysis, putting your system in alert mode and preventing you from relaxing, gaining perspective, and viewing the future as filled with possibilities instead of fear.

  • It's common to wonder if letting go of anxiety might also mean losing the 'edge' that fuels your performance. However, there's a big difference between productive anxiety, which can motivate you, and unhealthy anxiety, which can be paralyzing.

    Expecting never to experience anxiety isn't realistic. In fact, the goal isn't to eliminate stress. The goal is to keep it from overwhelming you or holding you back.

    A healthy level of anxiety is natural and even motivating, but when it becomes too intense, it interferes with your performance and well-being.

  • The duration of therapy varies for each person. While many clients start noticing positive changes within just a few sessions, most continue working with me for at least 4-6 months or more.

    We work on strengthening your coping skills while exploring and processing the underlying causes of anxiety. We will also address new areas for growth that may emerge along the way.

    We’ll discuss your progress openly from the start and regularly check in throughout our time together to ensure therapy is meeting your needs.
