“Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest taken between two deep breaths.”

– Etty Hillesum, Author

You’re waiting for the other shoe to drop.

There’s a pit in your stomach you can’t get rid of.

It’s like you’re always looking over your shoulder, wondering where the next disaster will come from.

You don’t remember the last time you tried something new, or even had a simple conversation without worrying that something would go horribly wrong.

You spend hours agonizing over ways to control your day, desperate to make sure nothing goes wrong…but it somehow still does, no matter what you try. You might even have panic attacks and feel like you can’t breathe for hours on end.  

You’re missing out on your own life, paralyzed by avoidance and fear. And even when you don’t avoid things, you’re too anxious to actually enjoy them anymore.

What if those voices in your head finally stopped?

Imagine the loneliness – replaced by connection.

Imagine the peace and relief of a worry-free mind.

No more little voices telling you what could go wrong, what you might miss, and how badly you’ve screwed up. Just the calm serenity of knowing that things won’t be perfect, but they’ll still be okay.

You’re slowly trying new things again, going out with friends, and realizing that the world won’t end over one mistake. Finally, you’re free.

It’s like you’ve gotten your whole life back, and it feels good.

Let’s turn your chaos into calm.

Through therapy, this peace could be possible.

We’ll work together to get to the root of your anxiety and actually heal instead of avoiding it. We’ll develop strategies that work for you to curb panic attacks in the tracks, boost your self-confidence, and find a sense of peace when you need it most.

Anxiety is a normal response to scary situations, and there’s nothing wrong with you for having anxious thoughts. All we need to do is teach your brain when fear is needed to protect you, and when it can take a backseat.

You’ve found a no-judgment safe zone to let those fears and anxieties go. Let’s dive in together.

Who this type of therapy is for:

→ You’re always on edge, constantly waiting for something awful to happen.

→ You’ve been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety, phobias, or are just plain anxious all the time and don’t know why.  

→ Your procrastination is stressing you out. You want to get started, but you just feel paralyzed.

→ You’re a perfectionist to the extreme and it’s messing with your life. You’re living in fear of making a mistake or screwing up, and it’s not sustainable.

→ Your stomach is in knots, you barely have an appetite, you get headaches or migraines on the regular, and everything in your body is screaming at you to just calm down…but you can’t quite do it on your own.
