Anxiety doesn’t define who you are
You could say that I’m a recovering anxiety “addict”.
I have not struggled with addiction to drugs or alcohol; instead my every day once revolved around when my next panic attack would strike.
Every plan and choice I made depended on whether I could manage my anxiety or not. I perseverated on the panic that I knew was coming for me. I ate, slept, and dreamt worry and fear until it owned me entirely.
Sound familiar?
Unable to engage in normal activities involving crowds, tight spaces, and anywhere I might be noticed in my panic, I was convinced I was losing my mind. At age 18 and increasingly powerless to attend my classes, I quit college after my first semester and considered ending my life.
This began my journey of healing and discovery.
Through years of hard fought and hard won battles, I have learned how to survive and thrive. All of that experience, knowledge, and creation is what I bring to you - in the individual therapeutic setting, in transformational coaching, in my writing and in my speaking engagements. My mission is to take everything that I have learned and continue to experience and make it useful for you to recognize the roots of your own anxiety and grow to soar above the chaos to live your best life!
Who Is Bonnie?
A therapist, horse woman, teacher, friend, writer, wife, transformational coach, nature lover, and speaker. I was once a prisoner of panic disorder and agoraphobia.
With decades of education and personal practice, I have successfully created a path for myself to manage anxiety, reclaim my peace of mind, and return to living a full life. There are methods in which I am trained, methods I have learned and been practicing regularly, and methods that I have created on my own to guide me to confidence and an open approach to life. I can support you to maintain positive relationships and navigate difficult waters, to recognize your gifts and to know when you need to move on from what may not be healthful for you.
