Hi, I'm Anne of Grit & Grace and there are a few things I know for sure.
You have a vision for how you want to live, but the impact of your anxiety, perfectionism and inner critic is keeping you from stepping forward. You are looking for someone who can support and guide you in gaining insight into who you are and how you can overcome the challenges you are facing.
That is where I come in.
I am passionate about partnering with women to feel more confident and empowered in their lives. I believe that all women can create the life they want without fear, anxiety and negative self-talk stopping them in their tracks. I believe that women can achieve great things and be wonderfully imperfect at the same time. I started Grit and Grace to create a space for women with grit and determination who are ready to live a life filled with grace. They are ready for change.
I bring a diverse set of experiences to my practice. Before I became a therapist, I worked as a consultant in the tech industry, as well as a life coach who supported women in achieving career success. I received my LCSW and have spent the last 10 years supporting a wide range of clients struggling with personal and career issues, stress and mental health disorders.
I really enjoy getting to know my clients, giving honest feedback and partnering with them as they grow. My clinical approach is behaviorally and forward focused. I strongly believe that you can get to a place that is beyond survival mode where you won't have to use so much energy trying to prove your worth and fend off critical thoughts. You will find it easier to show the world your real self and be comfortable with vulnerability. With new skills you can decrease your anxiety, increase self compassion and navigate challenges more easily.
Perhaps you are a woman working in a competitive job, completely overwhelmed with work and the desire to move ahead. You realize that you doubt yourself and your ability to speak up and go after your goals. You can’t help but feel if you weren’t so pressured to be perfect, anxious about the little things and worried about how others judge, you might be able to get that job you want. You know that with confidence, you could create a life that you aspire to, but you just don’t know the first place to start. That’s OK. Through our work at Grit and Grace, we will explore the roots of your challenges and focus on how to use your strengths to move past them.
Or maybe you’re a woman who on the outside appears to have it all together, but you feel lonely and disconnected on the inside. You’re uncomfortable with letting your guard down and have been so focused on keeping up the front and achieving, that you are afraid to ask for support, let others know how you are doing, or even communicate your needs in your personal and professional life. You feel stuck and feel frustrated about not being heard and may feel resentment toward others in your life. When we work together at Grit and Grace we will strive to understand your needs, learn how to communicate them and work together to create more fulfilling, connected relationships.
You’re ready for the confidence that comes from knowing who you are and to gain the skills to handle any hurdles that come your way. I believe it is entirely possible for you to understand yourself and to develop the ability to navigate the complicated world we live in. Let’s Get Started!
