Sound like you?
Struggling with overwhelm, worry, overthinking, and guilt.
Tired of feeling like you’re never enough and just plain exhausted.
Ready to stop putting others’ needs before your own.
Wishing that life felt more balanced and fulfilling.
Here’s what we’ll do together
Counseling can help you overcome challenges with anxiety and gain calm, clarity, and confidence.
Discover the root causes of your anxiety and explore anxiety tells.
Take charge of your anxious thoughts and respond differently.
Improve your self-care and self-compassion.
Reduce your people-pleasing tendencies and feelings of burnout.
Create healthy boundaries for you to use as a daily guide.
Reduce stress and pressure on yourself.
Design a more balanced and fulfilling midlife.
I’ll help you understand how and why your anxiety developed, what increases and reduces it, as well as how it means to be helpful but is really just an overachieving function of your brain that is actually doing its job for you too well. At its best, anxiety can be protective and motivating, but at its worst, it causes an overload of worry, overthinking, and significant barriers to healthy daily functioning. There is a balance, and you will learn how to not only reduce anxiety but also manage your anxiety for your best benefit in midlife, rather than your anxiety managing you.
At the end of the day, I want you to know:
Your anxious patterns don’t have to continue holding you back. Midlife is an opportunity for substantial new personal growth and progress.

Common Questions:
-
Normal stress or worry is temporary and tied to a specific situation. It resolves when the situation resolves. Troublesome anxiety is persistent, more intense, and can show up even without a clear trigger. Anxiety at persistent elevated levels can significantly start to interfere with daily life in many negative ways. A few common emotional symptoms of anxiety can include persistent worry, overthinking, irritability, overwhelm, indecisiveness, inability to relax, avoidance, and difficulty concentrating. Physical anxiety symptoms that can often accompany the emotional symptoms include fatigue, a racing heart, trouble sleeping, muscle tension, and repetition of tasks.
-
If anxiety is interfering with your sleep, focus, relationships, work, or overall quality of life - or if you simply feel stuck in a cycle of worry or fear - counseling can help. You don’t need to reach a crisis point before seeking support.
-
Most people notice significant improvement within 6-12 sessions, though this varies. Factors include the type of anxiety, how long symptoms have been present, and how consistently skills are practiced between sessions. Some clients prefer short-term work; others benefit from ongoing support. Most clients start with weekly sessions to get a good momentum going, and then shift to biweekly or monthly as symptoms improve. Frequency can always be adjusted at any time to fit your needs.
-
Most sessions involve talking and processing through your emotions, experiences, and learning new skills to manage symptoms. It is encouraged that the skills learned during sessions are practiced consistently between sessions for best results. Depending on the approach, you may explore thought patterns, build coping tools, or gradually face fears in a safe and supported way. Each counseling session is tailored specifically for you.
