“I just can’t do this anymore.”
For too long, you’ve felt overwhelmed, anxious, and like something vital is missing from your life.
Everyone around you seems to have figured this whole thing out, yet you’re struggling to stay afloat.
You’ve tried talking with others about how you feel, but it doesn’t quite come out right. You try as best as you can to juggle all of your responsibilities, yet find it so hard to ask for help, even when you know you need it. What’s more, the people around you don’t seem to notice how difficult this is for you, and you end up feeling even more alone.
You’ve reached for ways to cope but nothing has worked.
No amount of meditation, deep breathing, or distracting yourself has helped.
You know deep down that life doesn’t have to feel this way.
Yet knowing what to do next has been hard…until now.
Hi, I’m Mija (pronounced Maya).
I’m here to help you make life joyful again, no matter what stage of the journey you’re in.
I know firsthand how difficult it can be to walk the roads of anxiety, overwhelm and self-doubt. When we work together, we’ll create a space where you can be your most vulnerable self, feel more empowered in your life, and develop a deeper sense of confidence in who you are—inside and out.
The effects of anxiety, depression & big life changes manifest differently for everyone.
Maybe you’re seeing the it at home: you’re arguing more and connecting less, feeling irritated with your family and friends more easily, or feeling completely overwhelmed with trying to keep a household together.
Or perhaps it’s at work: you can’t concentrate, you’re feeling stretched thin, and it’s harder to keep up with all of your responsibilities like you used to.
It might even be showing up in your body: aches and pains that won’t go away, tension, upset stomach, and brain fog, among other frustrations.
No matter how these things are showing up for you, therapy for depression, anxiety and big life changes can help you feel more grounded in yourself, rebuild your confidence, create more loving boundaries, and give you the energy you need to do what you love.
When you work with me, we’ll move forward in a way that is collaborative, warm, and compassionate. I’ve created a space for you where you can explore the things that matter most, while giving you the skills and tools you need to make lasting changes in your life.
Because when you have the space to truly open up and be vulnerable, process difficult emotions, and find better ways to cope, everything in your life can be transformed for the better.
