If you’re struggling… Welcome.

Your mind is constantly bombarded with thoughts that keep you worried, stressed out, and feeling on edge. They start as soon as you wake up and follow you throughout the day. The sound like this:

  • “Am I doing a good job at work? I’m not getting enough feedback I can trust.”

  • “I think I’m getting sick, and I haven’t been sleeping well. What’s up with my eye twitching and this tickle in my throat?”

  • “Oh no… here’s another invite to hang out… I don’t really wanna go, but I skipped the last three. What am I gonna talk about? Do they even want me there, or was it a pity invite? I should just skip it; my throat thing might be contagious… but I don’t want to miss out.”

Man looking forwards as he thinks. Nate Carela helps people manage anxiety and stress through online therapy in Michigan.

At times you find distraction at work, in a hobby, or in conversations with friends (although, those can be tricky too). But there’s a constant stream of stressors that flood your mind.

Speaking of your mind, it also tends to go blank, or you find that you can only concentrate for short periods of time.

What about the tension your body carries? It can show up as a stomachache, a headache, tense shoulders, or constant trips to the bathroom.

It’s a lot to deal with, and let’s not forget how you’ve learned to keep others from seeing your shaky legs or nail biting.

You’re ready for more .

Perhaps you’ve played with the idea of seeing a doctor. But what if she says, “Hmm… we can’t figure out what’s wrong. Medically speaking, you look good.”

The last thing you want is to feel embarrassed and think, “Why did I even bring this up to the doctor?”

The reality is that life is hard.

For many, their fears get in the way of the life they want. They aren’t the kind of friends or parents they want to be. They feel like they’re failing at being a great partner, and their hope for change is fading.

I can help you find your purpose & peace

Like my clients, you deserve to live with peace, happiness, and deep connections to others. You should be able to rest, spend time thinking about the things you want, and build the future you deserve.

I believe you can harness your emotions rather than worrying about them, practice acceptance, and commit to your well-being.

My goal is to guide my clients as they work through what’s holding them back from becoming who they want to be.… challenging some unproductive thoughts along the way! Individual therapy isn’t:

  • Me judging the way you think or the things your fear most

  • Me downplaying your attempts to work through stress

  • Me asking you to ignore your thoughts or feelings and just “toughen up”

  • You getting all the answers in a session, and everything is fixed forever

We will begin with your initial intake session to gain a sense of what your needs are and determine where I can help you. I’m excited to help clients who want to have a healthy, connected, and happy life on their own and with the people they love. I work with people who are motivated to do the work.

Rest assured, what we discuss in therapy is 100% confidential. You may feel vulnerable initially, but our pace, what you disclose, and how we approach solutions are up to you. I will challenge you, show you different perspectives, and help you find the tools you need to have peace of mind.

If you are ready to build a life of purpose, I’d love to help you get there. Schedule your no-obligation, free 20-minute consultation today. It’s time to turn your life around and I can help.
