When "Healthy" Becomes Unhealthy: Recognizing Orthorexia
You’re Exhausted from Pretending Everything’s Fine
On the outside, you look like you’ve got it all together. But inside? You’re barely keeping it together. The constant pressure to perform—at school, work, in your social life—has become too much. You feel anxious all the time, overwhelmed by the thought of getting everything done, but still worried it’ll never be enough. Sleep is a struggle, your mind races at night, and sometimes it feels like no one really gets how hard it is to keep up this pace. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and virtual therapy in Michigan might be the relief you’ve been searching for.
Anxiety Feels Like It’s Taking Over Your Life
You’re always anxious, and sometimes it feels like anxiety has become part of your identity. Whether it’s a fear of failing, constant worry about the future, or just the crushing pressure of trying to be perfect, it never seems to let up. Maybe you’ve started avoiding certain social situations because they’re just too overwhelming, or you’re feeling disconnected from the people you care about. The constant stress has become part of your everyday life, and it’s exhausting. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Therapy for College Students in Michigan
If you’re a college student struggling with anxiety, stress, or feeling overwhelmed, I specialize in helping people just like you. Therapy can help you understand what’s fueling your anxiety, and give you the tools to break free from that cycle of worry and exhaustion. I offer virtual therapy for students across Michigan, so no matter where you are, we can connect. Whether you’re trying to manage panic attacks, social anxiety, or just want to stop feeling so overwhelmed all the time, we’ll work together to create a plan that works for you.
Virtual Therapy Could Be the Answer You’re Looking For
I know you’re busy. Between classes, work, and trying to maintain some kind of social life, the last thing you need is more stress about how to fit therapy into your schedule. That’s where online therapy comes in—it’s flexible, convenient, and meets you where you’re at, both emotionally and physically. You don’t have to commute, sit in a waiting room, or figure out transportation. All you need is an internet connection and a desire to start feeling better. Whether you’re in a dorm, at home, or in an apartment, as long as you're somewhere in Michigan, virtual therapy is designed to fit into your life.
Effective Mental Health Support
Therapy with me isn’t about just talking for an hour and leaving the same way you came in. We’ll dig deep into what’s really causing your anxiety, but we’ll also focus on building practical strategies that you can actually use. Maybe you’re dealing with the pressure to be perfect, or you’re terrified of letting people down. Maybe you just feel lost and need a space to figure out what you really want in life. Therapy is your time to show up fully as yourself, without pretending everything’s fine when it’s not. We’ll have the hard conversations, but we’ll also find moments of relief—whether that’s through laughter, taking a deep breath, or just realizing you’re not alone. My goal is to create a space where you can feel safe enough to put down the mask to safely explore what’s really going on, and finally begin to feel better.
