Julie Heim Jackson

I help young adults who are constantly worrying. It is like a “What if…” reel is running in their minds. My clients get stuck (often in their heads) and despite being smart, thoughtful, and hardworking they are struggling.

When they first come into therapy, they feel paralyzed by anxiety. They tend to have active minds and are often imagining various worst-case scenarios playing out in their lives.

Their worry gets in the way of the life they want in so many ways. They’re avoiding things they used to love and care about doing. They don’t feel confident when making a decision or learning something new. They don’t trust their own judgement and aren’t sure how to successfully take the next step in their lives.

Before they came to see me, they assumed that they were just “a worrier,” it was just a part of their personality. They couldn’t imagine sharing the sometimes embarrassing or scary things they were obsessing about or what they were doing to try to keep anxiety at bay. They were spending a lot of time and energy worrying and it was overwhelming. They were exhausted by it.

Like my clients, you deserve to do the things you most enjoy in life without the “what if…” reel directing the show.

Trusting your judgement and connecting genuinely with friends and family and enjoying your time with them is not out of your reach.

If you are tired of anxiety controlling your life and you want to take charge again (or maybe for the first time!) please contact me to find the answers and strategies you need to make positive changes.
