Supporting change to empower you in the life you want to live.

Online Anxiety Counseling in North Carolina

 
 

Are you controlled by the feeling that something bad is going to happen all the time?

 
 

Anxiety feels like that tightness in your chest, cramping in your stomach and like you can’t quite catch your breath. 

Life with anxiety feels like even though you thought you could swim, all of the rules for swimming changed (and no one cared to share the changes with you) so you’re just drowning. 

Maybe you are spending so much time just trying to survive between the moments of anxiety that you can’t remember the last time you actually enjoyed yourself. 

It’s nearly impossible to be the partner, friend and employee you know you can be because you just don’t feel like yourself. Hell, maybe you don’t even know what feeling like yourself would even be like with all the recent changes life has thrown your way. 

You know you are entirely capable of the job you have but most days it’s a battle to drive to work and carry all the responsibilities. Maybe work is going pretty well but your relationship with your partner is suffering because you’re irritable more often than not and it just spills over when you finally come home. And then the day ends and you find yourself laying in bed unable to shut the worry off and rest your brain.

 

Can you imagine…

What it would feel like to have a better grasp on the day-to-day anxiety you feel? 

You can find balance between the demands you’re facing and a life that brings you joy, ease and peace. With therapy for anxiety, you can learn concrete skills to live the life you want, speak up for your needs and embrace the version of you you really want to be. 

In my practice, we work to build a relationship of trust so you feel comfortable sharing the true struggle and exhaustion you are facing day to day. From there, therapy will help validate your emotions and the experiences that shape who you are.

In therapy with me, you will receive weekly support into your struggles and a new perspective with insight into these very unique struggles. I will work with you to learn to love yourself by seeing yourself with compassion. We will work to see your flaws as your individualistic capabilities and learn more about why your brain operates on constant overdrive.
