Welcome! It can feel scary to reach out to a stranger for therapy.
Good job for taking this first step.
Hi, I’m Mackenzie. You might be in the right place if any of the following resonate with you. You are:
A young adult or college student navigating the stressors of this phase of life.
An educator balancing work and life stressors.
A woman who takes care of everyone but herself.
A person of any age, occupation, or gender experiencing anxiety, depression, or a history of trauma that you feel is holding you back from living your best life.
Curious about EMDR therapy.
Feeling scared of driving, either in general or after being in an accident.
Your internal dialogue right now might sound something like this:
I just feel so depressed and anxious. I’m having trouble calming my thoughts down which leads to not being able to focus on things and I can’t fall asleep at night. Sometimes I lash out at people I love, which isn’t like me. I just don’t feel like myself lately. I’m so tired of my mind always going to worst-case scenarios and getting stuck there. I’m nervous to talk to a therapist but I’m at the point where I think I need to talk to someone.
If any of the above sounds like you and you’re looking for someone who is non-judgmental, open and warm, and will help you take action to start feeling better, contact me.
Therapy can help you:
Find healthy ways to manage symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, anger, and depression, while also figuring out the root causes.
Feel more calm and less stress in your life.
Improve your confidence within relationships or at work.
Build more self-compassion and self-esteem.
Finally leave the past behind so that it’s no longer affecting you so intensely today.
“The two most important phrases in therapy, as in yoga, are ‘Notice that’ and ‘What happens next?’. Once you start approaching your body with curiosity rather than with fear, everything shifts.”
