Are you dealing with increased anxiety in situations and places that you used to feel comfortable in? Whether it be flying, driving, heights, bridges, wide open spaces, or small enclosed spaces we feel we can't easily escape from, we sometimes start to develop "irrational" fears as we get older - and we just can't figure out why! We get frustrated when we just can't rationally think our way out of the anxiety, start avoiding situations that will set us off, and feel defeated. The feared worst-case-outcomes dominate. Do you just want your old self back but struggle to know how to get there? If so, I can help!
Think of me as a therapist, but with a collaborative "coaching" style. Struggling with my own disordered anxiety forced me to figure out the puzzle for myself. Because of that, I get it. You're not alone. Bad anxiety is super treat-able and it's important to work with a therapist who is highly specialized in the best evidence-based techniques.
Working with anxiety is truly a passion of mine - and since you know I've been there too, you can be confident that there will be a lot of understanding and zero judgement. I hope you'll call or send a message to schedule a complimentary virtual consultation.
