My Story

 

Hi, I'm Kresenya! 

I’m from Gilbert, Arizona and love being outside, paddle boarding, reading, and spending time with my family. I went to school at Arizona State University and got my degree in psychology

While I was in college, relationship anxiety hit me really hard. I was dating the guy who would one day become my husband, but it was a really rocky relationship with lots of ups and downs (but mostly downs) because of my anxiety. I cried almost every day.

For a long time, I thought my anxiety was trying to tell me something. If I felt uneasy, I thought it was a sign. If I didn’t feel peace, I thought it meant I was making the wrong choice.

Doubts I Had

 
I constantly spun with questions like...
- What if this is the wrong relationship?
- What if I’m settling?
- What if I don’t love my partner enough?
- What if God is trying to tell me to leave my relationship?
 

I believed that my doubts meant something was wrong with my relationship. I tried everything I could to figure it out, but no amount of overthinking ever gave me the certainty I craved.

 

How I Healed

 

With time and an amazing coach, I learned that relationship anxiety isn’t really about your relationship—it’s about your brain. When your brain is stuck in fight-or-flight, it mistakes love for danger, but healing comes when you teach it that you’re safe.

Love is something we get to choose, and safety is something we can create. The more I chose love instead of fear, the more clarity and freedom I found.

Now, I coach young adults who feel trapped in the same cycle of doubt and overthinking. Together, we work on calming fear, choosing love, and building relationships filled with confidence and peace
