About My Clients
Even if things look awesome on the outside, it doesn’t mean it represents what we are feeling on the inside. When you struggle with anxiety, you wear a mask on a daily basis to show the world you are a strong person. Many of us were taught to "suck it up" and leave the emotions out of the work. Here's the thing: That doesn't work. Together, we’ll find new, healthier ways of helping with those strong emotions, the doubts, and the fears that come along with anxiety, depression, and stress.
