THERAPY FOR ANXIETY & STRESS IN PERSON IN COOKEVILLE & Livingston | ONLINE ACROSS TN & FL

You know something has to change, but the anxiety about making a decision has you paralyzed.

Right now, you feel pretty hopeless that your life could get better. You haven’t been sleeping because of the worries that are constantly running through your head, and the exhaustion you feel during the day makes simple tasks feel impossible. Your friends and family have made it clear that you need to do something, but no one can tell you what that “something” is. And even if you did know what you needed to do, you’re terrified about what making a huge life transition would mean for your future.

MAYBE YOU’VE BEEN…

Making mistakes at work because you can’t focus or remember important details
Fighting with your partner, family, or friends because you’re so easily irritated these days
Feeling sick or having health problems such as increased blood pressure because of stress
Worried that your relationship might end because you can’t “get it together”
Quick to get angry even about little things, and unable to control your reactions
Fearful of an upcoming life change—like a divorce or retirement—and how it’ll affect you long-term

MY APPROACH

A safe space to find a way forward.

Our time together will always be judgment-free, focused on figuring out what you need to feel better—you never have to worry about being criticized for expressing how you feel.

We’ll start by learning a bit about how stress and anxiety affect our minds and bodies, and discuss why they come up so much when we’re at a turning point in our lives. I want you to know that it’s totally normal to be anxious when you’re on the verge of a big change, and that by the time our work is finished, you’ll have everything you need to make any necessary leaps.

Together, we’ll work to uncover the issues that are causing all the stress and anxiety you’re feeling and learn methods and tools that can help you start to feel better. We’ll practice these methods in our sessions, so they’ll become second nature to you when you need to use them in your day-to-day life. In the end, you’ll have a toolbox full of coping skills to help you get through any situation without becoming overwhelmed or shutting down.
