Stress & Anxiety

Find relief from thoughts that overwhelm and control you

 How stress and anxiety can affect our relationships

At Work: 

You’re constantly thinking about work and feeling like there is always more I could or should be doing. 

Overwhelmed with the amount of stuff you have to get done and never feel there is enough time.

Find yourself trying to avoid your  boss because you feel you aren’t as productive as you should be and are worried they will bring it up. 

You want to slow-down, but feel that if you try to, one of the many balls you are juggling will drop. 

Or you do slow down, but instead of rest, you feel paralyzed with procrastination.  

Romantic Relationships: 

Are avoiding certain topics or how you’re really feeling in order to avoid conflict 

Are scared the relationship might end because you continue to fight about the same issues without anything ever changing. 

You feel their disappointment with you and are worried they may cheat on you? 

Or 

The thought of going on dates or dating again seems overwhelming 

With Friends: 

Feel strangely nervous or awkward hanging out with friends since the pandemic. 

Feel stressed when friends ask to hang out. And you find yourself avoiding them or making excuses of why you’re too busy. 

Feel especially nervous in social situations like you have to perform and be at your best. 

Don’t tell your friends how you’re “really doing” because you don’t want to seem TOOO needy. 

Try to look calm on the outside, but inside feel worried that everyone will see how anxious you really are. 

Don’t want to come off as being “weird” or socially awkward. 

With Yourself: 

Have this lingering sense of anxiety or dread, as if something bad is going to happen. Even though it doesn’t seem related to anything specific, it never seems to go away. 

Falling asleep feels like a chore. And the moment your head hits the pillow, your thoughts continually fly a mile a minute. And the to-do list about what you didn’t get done today, or what you “have to do tomorrow” feels overwhelming. 

Wake up in the morning feeling with a sense of dread and overwhelm with all the stuff you have to do today. 

What life after anxiety therapy can look like

  1. You’ll have very tangible tools you can go-to when the inevitable stressors come up. 

  2. Feel much more calm and capable of dealing with conflict and difficult conversations. 

  3. Can actually enjoy social situations, instead of trying to avoid them. 

  4. Your can actually feel “relaxed” when you choose to “relax”

Ultimately, stress and anxiety don’t have to own your life. You can actually live your life without constant worry or overwhelm.  I’d like to help.
