MAYBE YOU'RE HERE BECAUSE...
Your anxiety isn't allowing you to live the life you want. Or your perfectionism causes you to overthink everything and you are tired of wasting time and energy. You're edging on burnout and don't know how to get back to yourself. Whatever it is, I've got you.
THIS IS WHAT OUR WORK TOGETHER CAN DO...
A quieter mind: Practical skills to stop overthinking and interrupt thought spirals. The confidence to take up space and own your story. Energy that comes from values, not fear. And the understanding that you are going to experience hard things no matter what - now you get to learn HOW to experience it all in a new way.
Hi! I’m Stephanie. With over 15 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor (Wisconsin) and Clinical Mental Health Counselor (Utah) - plus being a lifelong athlete and anxious human - I get it.
Tell me if this sounds like you...
On the outside, you have it all together.
On the inside, you overthink and feel overwhelmed.
You've mastered showing up, but now you're not sure why that workout doesn't do the trick anymore?
Your inner critic and mental chatter is loud.
You work so hard, but it still feels like never enough.
If you're nodding along, you're in the right place.
IT MIGHT BE TIME TO TRAIN YOUR MIND.
THAT'S WHERE I COME IN...
I am a licensed therapist helping athletes and high-performers in Wisconsin and Utah who struggle with anxiety and perfectionism learn to calm the mental noise, manage stress, and feel more present, so they can show up fully where it matters most.
No judgment. Open space to express it all (free to curse, cry, scream) and we might even laugh a bit. I hope we do. Life is serious enough. I bring my clinical expertise as a counselor in Wisconsin and Utah to every session - so show up fully and I will meet you there.
Bring your full self and I will too
You want a therapist who understands the high-achiver, athlete mindset and the pressure of managing stress at a high level. I don't just do this work, I live it as a lifestyle. There will be felt understanding as we form a strong connection.
common language and understanding
Not the therapist who just nods. Not the therapist who is soft spoken either. We will talk real sh*t - and I'll hold you to the work. You know how to train hard, now we train your mind. This is where we tackle the perfectionism that keeps you stuck.
Compassionate accountability
You've read the books and downloaded the apps. You've told yourself to "just push through, think positive, grind harder".
Bug the 'grind isn't working anymore.
It's time to do the real work. I've helped hundreds of high achievers move past anxiety and perfectionism - are you next?
how my anxiety therapy for high achievers is different
- A quieter mind
- Real skills to apply across your life
- Confidence to take up space
- Clarity of values and purpose
- Sense of who you are, separate from your roles and performance
- Not only feeling - knowing you are enough
Where you can go
- The anxiety won't quiet down
- Your inner critic is relentless
- You feel empty inside
- You hit the burnout wall
- Something feels deeply off
- You keep waiting to feel like enough but the finish line keeps moving
Where you are now
Tust me. As an athlete, I've been where you are. As a therapist in Wisconsin and Utah, I know exactly how to guide you to where you want to be...
You know how to set goals and work hard, but lately, anxiety and overthinking make the finish line feel impossible to reach.
