Feel calm and confident when life is “out of control”

Individual Therapy for Teens and Women Struggling with Anxiety, Perfectionism and OCD

YOU’RE exhausted BY LIFE

You're tired, anxious, and, let's face it, losing precious hours of sleep or productive work time that could be helping. You know life is uncertain and that you can't manage everything, but you also can't seem to convince your brain of that. The pressure feels unbearable, and you think that if you could just "get it right," "under control," or even "perfect," then things will get better - but things never do.

The truth is…

Perfect doesn’t exist — and that’s a good thing.

You deserve to be at peace with yourself.

You need someone to teach you practical strategies for moving forward. The best way to do this is for me to REALLY get to know you - your interests, unique quirks, deep values, and personal experiences. I use this information to build individualized sessions where you can feel comfortable, heard, safe and prepared to make changes with long-lasting results. Getting started is simple. If you're ready, then book your free consultation call below.
