Do you battle anxiety and stress in the form of racing thoughts that don't seem to go away? Or full blown panic attacks that seem to knock the breathe out of you and keep you immobilized? I've been there. I truly believe every experience in life can help mold you and shift you for better. Through every hardship you encounter, you can pull through and gain more on the other end. Life begins to change the most when you stop asking “Why does this keep happening to me?” and start asking yourself “What am I meant to learn from this?” and “How can I grow from this?” I believe I can help you overcome anxiety and moving forward.

I can help you because I have experienced it myself. I went through my own anxiety attacks and stress that I learned to successfully overcome. I worked as a public school teacher and school counselor for 15 years and specialize in teen as well as adults battling anxiety, stress, depression, people pleasing, co-dependency, trauma, and life changes.

Please take the first step to reach out and let's have a free 15 min. consultation and see how I can help you. You won't know until you try to get the help you need and your breakthrough and freedom from anxiety and debilitating stress can be on it's way to improvement with a new beginning soon! You can book with me via my website.
