I help ambitious, successful women who experience uncomfortable physical symptoms of anxiety often without understanding why. Physical anxiety can be debilitating. It can leave highly driven women stuck in procrastination or creep in during moments of rest, bringing guilt for sitting on the couch at the end of a long day. I know this experience personally. As a natural go-getter, I struggled with heart palpitations and a racing heart without realizing what was causing them. That’s why I’m passionate about helping clients understand how anxiety actually works in both the brain and the body. Anxiety isn’t a personal flaw, it’s a nervous system that’s stuck in the “on” position. Insight alone, however, isn’t what turns that switch off. Real change happens when we work with the brain and nervous system using small, simple, science-based strategies that help rewire their communication and allow anxious sensations to move through and out. I also teach values-based goal setting, so your actions are aligned with what truly matters to you, helping you feel fulfilled rather than constantly exhausted. My goal isn’t for you to slow down or do less, but to build a full, meaningful life where success doesn’t come at the cost of your well being.
