Self-care is not selfish.
Therapy for women who are burned out and anxious in Maryland
Are you exhausted from constantly overthinking?
It’s like you can never quiet your brain. Maybe you notice your focus is deteriorating or perhaps you’re yelling and on edge every day. You may be trying to solve problems that have not happened yet or simply find your thoughts stuck on a loop. Perhaps you’re feeling like you’re going crazy!
Anxiety could be showing up in your life mentally and physically. From people pleasing, perfectionism, and irritability to body aches, fatigue, and even hormone imbalances. Sometimes our anxiety is more obvious, such as panic attacks and laying awake at night for hours. Other times it’s the quiet self doubt only we can hear and that sense of always being on edge.

We start by identify the root of the problems you’re experiencing, target decreasing your vulnerabilities to emotions, and uncovering the patterns you are stuck in.
With increased understanding comes increased ability to validate and experiences your emotions. With support, you will begin to feel your feelings a new way that keeps you in control and teaches you how to loosen anxiety’s grip.

While I am pro-medication to support our mental health needs, medication alone is not the most effective treatment for anxiety. In fact, the most impactful approach to decreasing anxiety is a combination of medication and therapy. Many of my clients have found medication gives them the extra boost needed to fully engage with therapy and make the most of our time together. Always discuss your concerns and interest in medications with a psychiatrist.
