Real, clinical treatment for when life gets overwhelming and the overthinking that won't shut off — for your mind, your body, and (if you want it) the deeper questions underneath. You don't have to have it figured out before you walk in.
Most of my clients don't walk in knowing exactly what they need — most of them just know we need help. They say their mind won't stop — replaying conversations, pre-living worst-case scenarios, running the math on every decision twice. Underneath the noise is usually a quieter question: Am I doing this right? Who am I when I'm not performing? What is any of this for? The overthinking isn't the problem. It's what's standing in for an answer you haven't found yet.
If that's familiar, you're already in the right place.
Most therapy treatment stops at symptom management — breathing exercises, thought-reframing, maybe medication. That can help you cope. It rarely tells you why your mind learned to live on high alert in the first place, or what to do with the deeper ache of feeling like you should have this figured out by now.
I treat the overwhelm as a whole-person problem, because in my experience, that's what it actually is. We work the nervous system and the thought patterns directly — and for clients who want to go further, we follow the overthinking to where the real question is actually living.
I draw from cognitive, somatic, and attachment-based approaches — not as a menu, but as a sequence matched to what's actually driving your reactions and overstimulation. No single modality treats a whole person; I don't pretend one does.
We trace what's triggering the activation inside of you, what it's protecting you from, and what happens in your body when it starts. Your reactions are rarely irrational once you see what it's pointed at and where it's coming from.
We address the activation directly in your body — not just your thoughts — so the overthinking has less fuel to run on. This is where most clients start to feel real relief.
For clients who want it, this is where identity, meaning, and faith get real room — not as an add-on, but as the actual destination the struggle was pointing you toward all along.
You don't have to be religious to work with me. My clinical training stands on its own, and good therapy is good therapy regardless of belief.
But if your faith matters to you, it's not something you have to set aside to do this work. I hold a degree in Religion alongside my clinical training, and for clients who want it, we can bring prayer, scripture, or questions of purpose and calling into the room. For clients who'd rather keep things secular, that's just as welcome. I tailor the integration to what's right for you — never the other way around.
I became a therapist because I had a therapist — one who helped me become the woman, mother, and person I actually wanted to be.
Before any of my degrees, I lived a lot of what brings people into my office. Childhood chaos that left me with a view of myself I had to slowly unlearn. Codependency. My own anxiety and depression, well before I had language for either. A divorce, and the years of raising two kids alone afterward. Then remarriage, and learning what it means to blend a family — to become a step-mom to four now adult children and build something steady out of a lot of moving pieces.
None of that is a backstory I mention once and move past. It's the reason I trust this work — because I've been on both sides of the room.
I have earned a bachelor's degree in Religion and a master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, because I wanted both: real clinical rigor, and a framework for the deeper questions that no amount of coping skills ever fully answers. I bring all of it into the room — the training and the lived experience — for clients who are ready to stop white-knuckling it and actually get somewhere.
You look fine on paper — capable, the one others lean on — and you're barely surviving it underneath. Your mental chaos isn't a character flaw. Let's treat what's actually driving it.
A new role, a loss, a marriage, a divorce, becoming a parent or a step-parent. Your negative thoughts showed up — or got louder — right when everything else changed. That's not a coincidence.
Underneath the worries of juggling life is something more like: who am I, am I doing this right, what's it all for. You don't have to have an answer to bring the question into the room.
