You catch yourself repeating “it’ll get better, it’ll pass,” but it hasn’t. You’re hoping the tension in your chest, your sweaty palms, and your clenched jaw will finally stop but nothing has changed. You think “I can just handle it on my own”, hoping it’ll get better. Googling “stress”, “overwhelmed”, and “anxiety”, gives the same old answers, but leaves you wondering what would actually work? You realize it’s more challenging than you thought. You don’t have to figure it out on your own. You don’t have to repeat the pattern, feeling stuck forever.
It's time to make each day worth waking up to. It’s time to overcome cycles of worry, ending exhaustion from ruminating on all the “worst case scenarios” your brain says are inevitable. We will explore the roots of anxiety and how to work through it. I'm here with you and ready to offer compassionate reflections with direct, but gentle encouragement.
The kindest step you can take for yourself is reaching out to get started. Just like you, I’ve experienced these same sensations, and with the same grace, encouragement, and support I was shown, I can support you as you grow. Don’t let another day go by feeling defeated. Choose the path of kindness for yourself and reach out today!

I practice from an explicitly anti-racist, LGBTQIA affirming, and trauma informed lens. Trauma is a word we hear a lot these days, but it can seem that a singular word may not encompass all that we experience. Sometimes we have mixed emotions on all that we're going through, and that's okay! Even when it feels scary or exhausting, I am there with you, making sure you have a safe space.

Therapy is most successful when we approach our work as a team. It is not a place where you show up, get the tools, and "that's that". All the tools in the world won't help, unless you are willing to put in the work to use the tools we create together. I will be your cheerleader and your accountability buddy as we build an even better you.
