You walk through the day constantly questioning and worrying about what is going to happen next. The questioning never stops regardless of what you are doing. Your mind constantly anticipates the worst from getting your heart broken to fearing that things will never change.
Or even worse... you second guess EVERYTHING! Nothing can be simple. No decision is an easy decision. You are a prisoner in your own mind with no end in sight.
Your anxiety holds the key to your freedom.
You hope for freedom. You hope for change. You wait for it, but it doesn’t come.
As you wait, the second guessing and constant negative thoughts don’t stop. Doesn’t matter if you are trying to enjoy yourself at home or trying to focus on work. They are there, like a guest who over stays their welcome.
A guest who takes over your mind, your body and emotions.
It feels like an emotional rollercoaster. You worry about having fun because you know at some point the rug has will be kicked up under you.
The anxiety of waiting feels like a thousand needles on your chest. The emotional weight is heavy on your heart.
Your body takes the brunt of it. You can’t sleep, you can’t eat, you can’t focus. Which eventually leads to a negative cycle of not being able to get stuff done which adds on to the constant negative thoughts.
It keeps piling on.
You want to relax. You want a break.
Plus you deserve a break, but it doesn’t come.
The thoughts, exhaustion, and heavy heart continue. It feels like it will never end.
You feel broken. You feel lost, alone, and helpless as you question whether things can be different.
You also question, why you?
What did you do to deserve this?
Your friends and family tell you that things are okay and they will get better. They simply don’t understand or don’t care to really listen.
They make you feel like you are over-reacting or exaggerating. You don’t feel validated or important, which only makes it worse.
They don’t get it.
You are left questioning who to turn to.
You want to feel heard and like somebody actually “get’s it”. You aren’t expecting them to fix it, you just want them to listen. You also want your feelings to be acknowledged and not pushed to the side.
But, you continue to feel alone.
So lonely to the point where you stop being honest with them about how you feel.
You stop talking. You stop asking for help. Instead you begin to create a mask.
At first this mask makes everything easy. You simply smile and nod and pretend.
You are finally the happy and bubbly person that people expect you to be. Everyone else around you is happy, so it is easy to blend in.
However, as time continues and as you continue to ignore the truth, the mask becomes harder and heavier to keep up.
In public you are one person, in private you become isolated and even more broken. Then, the cycle just starts over again.
Now you wonder how long you can keep this up. The constant up and downs make you lose sleep.
Which makes things even worse as you lose focus and confidence.
You know that what you want isn’t a lot to ask for. It is pretty simple, but getting there feels impossible and lonely. Not to mention scary.
You can do this. I am here to help you get there.
Imagine being able to wake up every day excited and energized. Imagine not having those constant fears and worries clouding your mind. Imagine feeling happy and confident.
You deserve those things. We all do.
Now you are probably thinking, “Well how do I get those things? How can therapy get me there?”

Frequently Asked Questions
I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR A WHILE, IT WILL JUST GET BETTER ON ITS OWN, RIGHT? WHY DO I NEED A THERAPIST?
If it hasn’t gotten better by now, why risk waiting and digging yourself in a deeper hole when you can work on getting you better now?
You know you want things to change but leaving it up to chance and time isn’t the best resolution. Plus with anxiety it isn’t just the emotional component you are dealing with, you are probably having physical symptoms as well. Like losing sleep, not eating or eating too much, mood swings, etc.
Basically don’t wait to get better.
SHOULD I JUST SEE MY DOCTOR TO GET ON MEDICATION?
Medication is a viable option for many people. Anxiety can be caused by several factors out of our control like a hormonal imbalance, which can be helped with medication.
However, anxiety can also come from situational issues or unhealthy thoughts that need more than simple medication.
If you feel that medication can help, I suggest contacting your medical doctor to discuss your options, give it three months, if things haven’t changed then therapy along with your medication is a good option.
