If you’re a student, athlete, teacher, or coach, it’s very common to feel anxious, overwhelmed, and burnt out. You’re probably exhausted, and you might be feeling lost or unmotivated in the classes, sports, or work you once enjoyed. You’re likely juggling a million things at once, neglecting your own needs, and possibly turning to unhealthy ways of coping. The pressure to be perfect and to please everyone else is so heavy that your focus and performance might be slipping more than ever before. Maybe you realize this isn't sustainable and that something needs to change, but you feel stuck.
As a former high school social worker, women's basketball coach and student-athlete, I understand how stressful this can be. I also know that with the right strategies and support in place, it IS possible to find the peace and confidence you deserve. I can help you achieve this through the convenient and empowering support of online, strengths-based therapy.
You will learn to prioritize your needs, to let go of the pressure, and to manage your anxiety effectively. You’ll likely begin to feel more balanced, energized, and clear about your goals. Ultimately, you’ll be proud to see a steady improvement in your grades, athletic performance, or teaching. Email me today to schedule your 15-minute consultation call!
