Reminding You You’re Capable AF

I’m here to remind you that you’re capable AF all while helping you unleash your inner badass and conquer that anxiety and those never-ending thoughts that have been holding you back. It’s time to create defiant peace, be your own therapist, and take back your freaking life. 

So how did we get here!? I know what it’s like to struggle with OCD and anxiety on a personal level (you read that right!). Only a few years ago I was right where you are. I wanted to get rid of my scary thoughts and thought it’d be a cakewalk thanks to my research and clinical background. Spoiler, it wasn’t. If I was struggling over here with years of experience under my belt, how the hell was someone else supposed to navigate their anxiety and those exhausting, relentless thoughts? I decided there had to be a better way — the OCD and Anxiety Recovery Blueprint was born. 

Now I’m taking my more than 16 years of clinical, research, and now personal experience to tell you everything I know about anxiety, mental compulsions, rumination, and how to get your life back using evidence-based strategies like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). This isn’t the same old song and dance you’re used to. My course will help you get to the root of the issue, teach you the skills you need to be your own therapist, and then empower you to go beyond the work and actually implement the strategies to kick anxiety and intrusive thoughts ass once and for all.

How shit went down

Over the past couple of years, I’ve loved helping you slay your anxiety dragons through no-BS strategies that work, and not to toot my own horn but I think I kick ass at it. Yet, I still felt this drive for MORE. How could I do more to help you kick your anxiety’s ass!? What could I be doing that would help you take your recovery to the next level!? There was one answer — build a team starting with my husband, Nick! By having him on the team, I’ll be able to give you even more support. Nick knows anxiety like the stats of the game — so his grounded and knowledgeable approach to treating anxiety will have you making progress a hell of a lot faster than 5 years of talk therapy. 

Want to say hi and work with Nick specifically? He’s working 1:1 with our Blueprint students to provide coaching.

Hi, I'm Nick

Yeah, that previously mentioned Nick. I’m an anxiety therapist who’s treated PTSD, addiction, and OCD in inpatient, residential, and private practice settings. And, can’t forget, Jenna’s husband. 

I grew up in a small town in south central PA — seriously if I said it, you’d be like that exists? My dad passed when I was 2, so I grew up with my mom and older brother. I met Jenna at Lock Haven University where I got my Bachelor's in Criminal Justice. Then, after working in alternative education, I went back to Liberty University for my Masters in professional counseling. 

I’ve worked overnights in inpatient mental health hospitals while in grad school, crisis intervention, residential treatment facilities, and I was the director of our private Oconomowoc office. Safe to say, I’ve seen it all. Different cases. Different settings. And I’m ready to help you tackle the anxiety monsters that seem to have a hold on every. damn. day. I’ve helped hundreds of people heal and I KNOW you can take your life back. No matter how strong the grip feels right now.

We’re here for you 100%. My self-paced digital courses will help you kick your anxiety and intrusive thoughts ass once and for all so you can take back your life — with or without a therapist.
