You struggle to get through the day. And thoughts of your problems keep you up at night. You’ve told yourself “I’m losing it” at least a dozen times today. Remember the last time you felt like yourself? Hardly. You hide it well. Suggestions from friends and family are getting old. You are looking for someone who can help you clear your thoughts, calm your mind, get your energy back and find things enjoyable again. I specialize in treating anxiety and depression in women.

**Now providing video and phone sessions to all SC residents** Too often life takes an unexpected turn that may leave you feeling let down, emotionally unstable, and overwhelmed; with little to no understanding of what to do next. It may feel like you’ll never be yourself again. I believe insight plus action makes for positive changes.

There are times when life is hard. You feel misunderstood, ignored, and lonely. You stop talking to your friends and family because your thoughts and feelings don’t seem to matter anyway. You feel that other people’s needs are more important than your own so you’ve put your needs aside and continue to give to those around you. All the giving has left you feeling empty and numb. Sometimes you feel like you are an observer of your own life and you don’t know what the next step is. All you know is that you can’t go on feeling like you do and that something needs to change.

You feel intense pressure to do things perfectly. You definitely aren’t comfortable with other people’s feelings either, so you become the fixer… the people-pleaser.
