So just lately I've been getting really bad dizzy spells when I stand up & I'm not sure whether this has any links to anxiety? I know that anxiety can have it's cheeky bonuses like tiredness & nausea that are just an extra kick in the teeth, but this is a new one I've not experienced & I'm not sure if it related at all…. Anyway, I'm just assuming it is because my mind has been working at a million miles and hour today and I just can't seem to get it to slow down. It's scaring me quite a lot because I don't want to be thinking at this speed.. And also it's very repetitive and exhausting thoughts. I have a major headache too :/ it's just not a very fun time up inside my brain just now :s I've found that I can deal with my anxiety really well over the past few years, but considering I've ditched medicines and any sort of brain training it concerns me when I feel like I've lost all control. When my mind races like this I just fear an attack is on it's way. I find this area helpful though (as I say in nearly every post lol) I'm just grateful that this space exists. I like to write down my thoughts so that there's not so many trapped in my head. Often when I feel panic about my bodies reactions I find focusing on describing them helps too. There's a tonne of things evolving in my life at the minute so I can clearly see where this is coming from, it always happens when there's big changes that I'm unsure of how to handle. I also feel a strange body numbness… Perhaps I'm just getting ill though. I'm desperately trying to get to sleep but my mind just will not shut down for the night :/ and even if it does I dream of such stressful & crazy things that it's never worth the sleep anyway. Anyways, that's just a mad splurge of my inside brain… Just felt it needed to come out somehow & somewhere.

The idea of going to therapy can be scary. Choosing a therapist is overwhelming. Calling that therapist is intimidating.
Please understand that you are not alone in feeling scared, overwhelmed, and intimidated. But considering therapy does not mean that there is something wrong with you. Therapy is not for “bad” people or “crazy” people. Therapy is for people who want help sorting through the confusing thoughts and beliefs that they have. If you are afraid of what people think about you, fear that you are unlovable/bad, or are afraid that you might not be good enough, please consider calling me.

I enjoy working with adolescents and young adults, and my areas of focus include anxiety, grief & loss, spirituality, life transitions, and relationship issues.

Originally from Virginia, I graduated from the University of Virginia with a B.A. in Religious Studies & Biology. After a time of working with adolescents, young professionals, and adults in a church in the D.C. area, I moved to Orlando and graduated with a Masters in Counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary in 2018.
I have since returned to my home state of Virginia, and am currently a Resident in Counseling working towards my license as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I am practicing under the supervision of Dr. Daniel Gutierrez, LPC, CSAC. I maintain professional memberships in American Counseling Association (ACA) and the Association for Spiritual, Ethical, and Religious Values in Counseling (ASERVIC).

I appreciate that it can be challenging to find a therapist. I encourage you to shop around, read profiles, visit websites, and have initial sessions with a couple of providers to find someone who you can really talk to and be open with. We all have different styles and vibes and ways of talking and that's a good thing, hopefully we're all well trained as well but I encourage you to inquire if our training and credentials are confusing or not obvious.
In therapy I will be someone who challenges you. I might interrupt you at times if your thinking seems off. I will encourage you to feel and exercise and be honest with yourself and the people you love. Therapy will be challenging. Hopefully you will be thoughtful about the process and interested in making changes. I'm here to help you become the person who you want to be and love the person who you are.
Have you ever just sat and watched your brain go on? It is interesting to me, so many thoughts I have thought before, and how unimportant many of them really are. I have had to deal with racing thoughts, too, and it isn\'t pleasant. The physical symptoms are equally not fun. But I think Carl Jung said, \”that which we resist persists\” and I have found that the more I do NOT take me too seriously, the better I feel, especially when I get a big ugly fearful thought that brings on adrenaline. Sometimes I can even laugh out loud at my brain!
