You may have arrived here because...
-
You feel pulled in a million directions and don’t know how to handle the overwhelm anymore
-
You can’t shut your brain off at night in order to sleep, despite feeling completely exhausted
-
You are struggling to remember what your marriage was like before kids
-
Anger, guilt and resentment seem to be your constant companions
-
You feel like no one really understands what you are going through, and your partner just doesn’t get it.
However you arrived here, I’m so glad you’re here. Read on to see if my counseling services for anxiety and burnout might help you.
You might cope by ignoring your own needs.
You are trying to keep it together but lately anxiety has been taking over your life. You feel exhausted at the end of the day and all you want to do is sleep, but your mind is stuck on all the things you didn’t get to today that you now have to make time for tomorrow. You wake up in the middle of the night feeling panicked that you forgot to do something. When your alarm goes off in the morning you feel groggy and struggle to get out of bed – it feels like you never slept. As you make yourself coffee so that you can power through at work, you notice that your mind is already racing, thinking about everything you need to do today. At the end of your workday you struggle to turn work off in your mind as you try to shift your focus to taking care of your kids and partner.
While it can feel good to be needed, it’s exhausting to feel like everyone wants a piece of you all the time. After you put the kids to bed at night you look at the clock and wonder how it got so late; and wish that you had more time for yourself before having to go to sleep. You feel stuck on repeat – no matter how much you accomplish, you never feel caught up at work or at home. The worst part is the guilt: the fear that you are not doing enough, not being a good enough mom or partner.
If this is you: you need a space where you can step away from all your roles and responsibilities and what others expect of you so that you can reconnect with yourself and what matters most.
I help you connect with your core values and find time for yourself.
Together we will work on noticing the patterns that keep you stuck in overwhelm and develop new habits that better support you. You will learn tools to keep your nervous system balanced so that you can accomplish everything on your to-do list while feeling clear, grounded and confident instead of pressured and panicked. You will learn strategies for how to calm your mind and body before bed so that you are able to sleep and wake up feeling well-rested. Most importantly, I will help you identify and reconnect with your core values, so that you can be empowered to live a more meaningful, balanced life.
My experiences with anxiety and burnout
I have 20+ years of experience working with college students and professionals experiencing anxiety and overwhelm, including more than four years as a therapist in private practice working specifically with women. I am a certified professional coach, yoga teacher, meditation teacher, and published author of a book chapter entitled, Finding a Job: the 7 Biggest Challenges for Millennials, in the book Millennials in Wonderland: Coaching Grads at the Crossroads of Life and Career, featured on Forbes.com: https://www.forbes.com/sites/nextavenue/2018/01/22/how-to-help-your-millennial-kids-handle-7-big-job-hunting-challenges/.
Not only have I supported many students and professionals experiencing anxiety and burnout, I went through my own burnout experience, so I know firsthand what it takes to recover and feel like yourself again.
