"Why do I feel like this all the time?"
|
Does this sound like you or someone you love? If you’re asking yourself this, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken.
Maybe your heart races for no reason. Maybe your mind never shuts off. Maybe even when everything seems fine, your body is bracing for the worst. You’re tired of being stuck in your head—constantly scanning for what could go wrong, overthinking every decision, and spiraling through shame when you can't “just calm down.” You avoid things you used to enjoy, or push through with a smile even when you’re falling apart inside. You’ve told yourself it’s not that bad. You’ve hidden the overwhelm because others depend on you. You wonder if you’ll ever feel normal again. |

Anxiety is human. But suffering in silence isn’t.
Anxiety is your nervous system’s way of trying to protect you—especially if life has taught you that safety is conditional or temporary. But when anxiety takes the wheel, it doesn’t just disrupt your day. It steals your sleep, your clarity, your joy.
At Sage & Shadows Counseling in Corpus Christi, I help clients understand the deeper story behind their anxiety—and how to finally soften its grip.

I've felt this way for so long. Can therapy really change the way i feel about myself?
Absolutely. Therapy can be a powerful space to heal unresolved attachment wounds and nurture a deeper, more compassionate relationship with yourself.
Together, we’ll explore your unique attachment story, helping you understand your needs and patterns with greater clarity and care. I’ll gently challenge the voice of your inner critic when it shows up, inviting in a softer, more affirming inner dialogue. Over time, we’ll reshape how you speak to and see yourself—so that your inner world feels like a place of safety, not self-judgment. HOW CAN I MAKE THE MOST OF MY TIME IN THERAPY?
Therapy is a meaningful investment—of your time, energy, and truth. To get the most out of our work together, it's important that you feel a sense of trust in the process and in me as your guide.
It also asks something sacred of you: to show up with honesty and openness—not just with me, but with yourself. That honesty becomes the ground where insight grows and healing unfolds. Whether you're here in Corpus Christi, the Coastal Bend, or connecting online from elsewhere in Texas, your willingness to show up as you are matters more than having it all figured out. does going to therapy mean i'll RECEIVE a diagnosis of some kind?
Ethically, I am required to include a diagnosis in your client file—but this is something we’ll always discuss together with clarity, care, and transparency.
That said, I want to be clear: You are so much more than a diagnosis. While it may help us understand certain patterns or symptoms, it does not define your worth, your healing journey, or your future. How do i get started?
To begin your journey, I invite you into a Free 20-minute consultation. This is a gentle space for you to ask questions, share a little about what’s bringing you to therapy, and feel into whether our work together feels like the right fit.
If you’re in Corpus Christi, the Coastal Bend area, or anywhere in Texas, I’m here to walk with you. Click here to schedule your consultation and let’s begin softly, intentionally, and at your pace. |
