Online Counseling for Busy Professional Women Feeling Stress and Overwhelm

You’re tired of constantly running on empty…

 

You’re reminded daily you don’t have the time or energy to do what you want…

And you crave the opportunity to take a breather from your life…

It’s been a long time, too long, since you’ve had a break. And I don’t mean a long weekend kind of break either because who are we kidding that’s not really a break.

Even when you had that long weekend, chances are it just added more stress to your plate than anything else, and if I know one thing…you’ve probably got multiple plates spinning at once. As a busy professional woman, those plates are still in the air even over a long weekend.

And as much as you’d like to have this breather, things just keep piling on…because it’s who you are, what you do, and it’s what you know.

Your investment in everyone and everything else has left you stressed out, overwhelmed, and completely exhausted

Part of you is aware that your stress is a problem but you just don’t know what to do about it. There doesn’t feel like there is a plate you can put down without disappointing someone else or even yourself.

Keeping all of those plates spinning can feel like a lot especially when it feels like they are all going to topple and everyone will find out that you really can’t handle it all.

…Imagine finally being able to exhale and let go of the overwhelm

When the time has come, people often talk about wishing they had more time, made memories, and lived life how they wanted.

Stopping all the plates from spinning may not be possible because, well that’s life…but what if it was possible to take something off your plate or stop just one or two plates from spinning…

Your life with less overwhelm can look like…

  • Having more time and energy

  • Spending time with people you love and care about

  • Being someplace you want to be

  • Doing things you enjoy and discovering new things too

  • Making yourself a priority

It’s time to start choosing where your energy goes, instead of wasting it on stress, you want to start focusing on the present moment and engaging in the things that make life meaningful and purposeful.

 

You deserve to be a priority…and this is exactly why I enjoy providing therapy for stressed-out women. 

Together in therapy…

  • we will create a custom plan to meet your specific needs, reach your goals, and live fully in your values.

  • you will have the support you need to make some changes in your life. The changes that you know need to happen but that just have not felt possible. 

  • we will create a safe space for you to take off the many hats that you wear and put down all of your spinning plates. A space where you can fully exhale.

Are you ready to make yourself a priority, and create the life that you want?
