Anxiety therapy in Maryland and DC

Helping people throughout Maryland and Washington, D.C. get unstuck and moving towards the life they want.

My clients struggle like you do. Despite being some of the hardest working people in the room, the feel like they should be doing more.

When they first come in, they’re spread thin from overcommitments to friends, work, and school.

They’ve set impossibly high standards for themselves and stay up late thinking, planning, researching, and worrying about the future. 

They know what they want - they’ve got it all lined out.  But they’ve left themselves zero margin for error.  They put pressure on themselves to work harder, do better, be perfect.  Oh, and there’s no time for a break - any time they slow down, the guilt creeps in.

Everything has become a project that must be thoroughly researched, planned, and precisely executed.  Heck, even a simple task like buying something off Amazon is now a full-blown research project.

In so many ways, their anxiety and exhaustion gets in the way of the life they want.  

They aren’t the kind of friend they want to be.  They feel like they’re letting their family down.  And their confidence is quickly turning into imposter syndrome.

Before they came to see me, they believed they had to live this way to meet their goals.  They worried about adding yet another commitment to their already busy schedule.  And they were pretty certain their anxiety was just a part of who they were.

Like my clients, you deserve to live and work towards what you want without anxiety getting in the way.  

A real work/life balance is not out of your reach.  If you want to get through the day without stressing about the next, I’d love to help you get there.
