Anxiety

“Our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength.”
– C. H. Spurgeon

You worry because you care deeply.

About your family, friends, community, career, what others think of you… and the list goes on.

Unfortunately, worrying does not change outcomes. It just robs you of your joy.

You’ve been told to “just calm down,” “chill out,” or “just get over it.” And you would if you could!

But there’s just no “off” button.

I should’ve known better.

It’s so easy to criticize yourself, to think back about how you could have handled the situation differently.

You shame yourself, thinking you can criticize yourself into a better version of yourself.

But that just doesn’t work. You can’t hate yourself into a version you can love.

Why am I so awkward?

You’ve tried putting yourself out there, hoping you’ll fit in or click with the group. But after you hang out, you find yourself scrutinizing every single thing you said and did.

What the heck is wrong with me? Why can’t I just act like a normal person?

Then you want to avoid socializing altogether.

Let’s try approaching it all differently.

You’re done letting anxiety hold you back from the life you want – no more holding back from relationships, education, career, or hobbies.

We’ll dive deep into the fears behind all the anxiety. We’ll pinpoint the experiences where your anxiety took root, identify the patterns they’ve created, then reprocess and reframe. These anxious patterns will no longer be in the driver’s seat of your life.

Will it be uncomfortable? Yes.

But it will also be brave.

Growth does not come from comfort. I’ll lean into the discomfort with you, giving you tools and support along the way.

Growth and joy are on the other side. It IS possible. Therapy can help you understand how you got to this point, and we will work together to move forward.

Let’s dive in.
