You're stuck overthinking, obsessing, & questioning - depleted - missing out on your present life. You are spending so much energy doing for and thinking about others that you've somehow lost yourself - carrying resentment, under water, afraid to admit it - even to those closest to you. These anxieties may manifest in the same fight over and over with your family, leaving you feeling exhausted & disconnected. I know you want to feel confident and calm- not second guessing yourself. Unwanted intrusive thoughts and compulsions may be taking over your life, and you're looking for support. You need to find joy again.
As a working millennial mom (anxious human), I get it. I bring a foundation of trust & nonjudgment. We'll work through anxiety, OCD thinking patterns, stress, burnout & life transitions so that you don't feel like you're just "holding it together," but barely getting by on the inside. We will learn coping skills and real communication strategies.
I know how hard it is to ask for help, so let me squash your fears: Sessions with me are conversational and supportive, yet thoughtful and goal oriented. Honest connection and safety is what I want you to feel, and hopefully you can finally exhale and make space for joy. Let's start by booking your free intro call! (I serve ages 16+ in NJ & CT)
