Hi, I’m Brittany Merz and anxiety is my specialty! If you're feeling overwhelmed, constantly on edge, or like your mind just won’t slow down—you're not alone. I specialize in helping people who appear high-functioning on the outside but feel anxious, stuck, or exhausted on the inside. Whether you’re dealing with constant worry, perfectionism, panic, or burnout, I know how to help you find your calm, your clarity, and your confidence again. With a master’s degree and license in counseling, certification in clinical anxiety treatment, and over a decade of experience, I bring both expertise and deep compassion to my work.
Anxiety is not just one of the things I work with—it’s what I do best. My approach is practical, supportive, and tailored to what actually works—no fluff, no judgment, just meaningful, science-backed tools and a safe space to heal and grow.
Anxiety can be rough and leave you feeling overwhelmed and hopeless. You don’t have to keep doing this alone. Let this be your turning point. Together, we can help you feel more grounded, capable, and at peace. I’d be honored to support you on your journey.
