Navigating Health Anxiety: Strategies for Finding Balance and Well-Being
Sound Familiar?
Work-Life feeling anything but balanced.
Perfectionism creates more stress, anxiety, and burnout than ever.
Sacrificing your happiness feeling more comfortable than “letting other people down.”
Constant comparison creates a narrative that you aren’t “good enough.
Spoiler alert: Life doesn't have to be a constant struggle. You deserve a new normal, and I can help you get there with personalized therapy tailored to your unique needs and circumstances. Let's work together to unlock your full potential and create the fulfilling life you deserve!
A custom approach to mental health.
Hi, I’m Brianna, and I can help.
As a bespoke perfectionism & self-esteem therapist* in New York City, I specialize in providing tailored therapy services to models, athletes, influencers, students, and young professionals. My evidence-based approach equips clients with the tools to build confidence, improve self-worth, and find fulfillment in their personal and professional lives.
At a time when many solutions for self-doubt and perfectionism take a "one-size-fits-all" approach, I recognize that each of my clients is unique. That's why I work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific challenges and goals.
We'll identify the underlying causes of anxiety, self-doubt, and burnout by exploring thought patterns and unhelpful beliefs. From there, we'll work together to implement behavior changes and build empowering beliefs to help you achieve lasting results.
With my support, you'll develop the skills to navigate life's challenges with clarity and confidence. Contact me today to schedule a consultation and take the first step toward a happier, more fulfilling life.
