Ashleigh Edelstein, LMFT
As a naturally anxious person, I know what it's like to get stuck in the never ending cycle of ruminating on the past and worrying about the future. It doesn't leave much room for the present.
I spent too much time worrying about what others thought of me, instead of doing what I knew was best. The amazing work I did with my awesome therapist inspired me to become one.
I'll help you move beyond the cycle of replaying the past and worrying about the future, so you can feel more confident and make real, lasting changes.
