Is anxiety stopping you from what you want to do in life?
You are feeling so anxious that you are finding it hard to function in your day to day. You look at those around you and don’t understand how they can simply be living life while you are stuck in an endless cycle of worry, shame, and fear. This may be leading you to feel:
Unfulfilled with your relationships and/or your job
Helpless and feeling like things might not ever feel different
Sadness even though you might define yourself as a generally “happy” person
Scared of trying to change because it all feels so hopeless and you don’t want to fail or feel let down any more than you already do
Lost in your current life and not knowing where to turn or what you need to do differently to feel any better
Your anxiety might leave you:
Missing out on social activities with friends
Worrying about what others think of you
Constantly judging yourself
Feeling less than confident in yourself
Questioning if you will ever be in a loving relationship
Feeling anxious about doing things you used to love
Not allowing yourself to enjoy certain things in your life
Holding yourself back from doing things that you find meaningful
Here’s what we’ll do together
Anxiety is normal - and you can learn ways to navigate more easily.
The world we live in breeds anxiety and worry. We are expected to go and work our asses off each day to make enough money to support ourselves and our families (with cost of living rising more and more), juggle responsibilities way beyond any human’s capacity in any given day, figure out what our passions are and live accordingly (hint: you don’t need to start here to feel better), AND do it all with a smile on our face.
No wonder we are so fucking stressed out!
Dealing with daily anxiety can be ridiculously overwhelming. It can literally feel like you are losing your mind and spinning around in circles. It robs you of your motivation, makes you question every decision you make, and can send you swirling into a pretty dark hole. You might even suffer from panic or anxiety attacks that can make it difficult to be out in the world like you need/want to be. This could range from a small amount of anxiety that just feels like a bother all the way to something that is debilitating. You do not need be at “max level anxiety” to be worthy of getting help. Just to make sure you heard me - YOU DO NOT NEED TO WAIT TO GET HELP UNTIL THINGS HAVE ESCALATED!
When all is said and done, here’s the thing:
Your struggle with anxiety is not your fault - you just haven’t been taught the skills to navigate it.
What we’ll work on
Imagine a life where you are…
Hopeful that you can deal with anything that comes your way (not saying it will always be easy, but it WILL be workable!)
Grounded in your life and your values - meaning that no matter what thoughts you have, you feel like you have choice over what actions you take
Connected with the people in your life who are important to you
Secure in who you are and what you have to offer this world, and not scared as this changes throughout your life (as it 100% will!)
Curious about thoughts and feelings as they arise, with a clear plan of what to do if symptoms increase again
Form a new relationship with your anxiety
Change is possible. I’ll help you get there.

FAQs
-
Anxiety can be caused by many factors. For many, it runs in your family and you may have a genetic predisposition to experience it. You may have had a traumatic experience (big or small) that has resulted in anxiety. It’s possible that you have a diagnosis (such as OCD or ADHD) where your brain needs different tools to feel good in our sometimes black and white world. You may be reacting to living in a world that expects way too much of us. There is no one answer! We may be able to link your symptoms to one particular cause, but in the end the important part is that you get help and feel like you can function to the best of your ability.

You may feel: scattered with your thoughts, have fears or a sense of panic in certain situations (or generally), have a sense of overwhelm, or have a difficult time making decisions. Although they can also be a sign of anxiety, the stereotypical symptoms of “sweaty palms and racing thoughts” might not be what you are experiencing, and that does not mean you aren’t suffering or don’t deserve to acess help.
