Do you feel anxious and stressed most of the time, and have a hard time turning off your thoughts? Do you feel good about yourself when you're productively working toward your goals, and bad about yourself when you're not? Maybe your life looks great on paper but it feels unfulfilling. If this sounds like you, let's team up to help you discover what healthy striving feels like. We'll find tools to help you calm your anxiety and shift the negative beliefs about yourself that are holding you back. We'll explore what matters most to you and identify action steps to help you live in alignment with your values and priorities.
Here's how we'll do it. Together we'll identify your goals and pick a type of therapy that fits your needs. We can use EMDR, ACT, CBT, or a combination of the three. I'll help you cultivate insight and provide practical skills and tools. Your job is to experiment with implementing these in your daily life. My style is structured and direct, like a coach.
Are you ready to lean into a life driven by your values, not your fears? You're welcome to email me through Psychology Today or book a free consultation directly through my website. I provide video sessions for clients residing throughout Tennessee, Montana, and Florida and provide in-office sessions in Ooltewah, TN. I look forward to meeting you!
