Do you lay in bed at night because you can't shut your mind off? Maybe you think about everything that went wrong today or, let's be honest, the last 10 years. Perhaps you've started to notice that your mood is eating away at what little happiness you have left. The constant worry and self doubt are starting to make you feel like you're about to unravel. And even worse, it's negatively impacting your relationships. You might even think to yourself, "...I'm a good person and I try to do the right thing... Why can't I have a couple of good days?!"

It is a challenge to balance the demands of home and work while also enjoying your life. Everyday you must decide what is most important in how you spend your time and energy. This creates anxiety leading you to feel overwhelmed with difficulty focusing on what really matters. You find yourself struggling with sleep, appetite is up and down, and your chest feels heavy. Sometimes you wonder if you have a medical condition but nothing seems to make it better, as doctors tell you that you are just fine. If this sounds like you, you are in a real battle with your anxiety. The good news is, therapy can help!
