If you’re in your figuring-it-out era — navigating transitions, dating, relationships, identity, and the pressure to have life together — you’re in the right place. I’m Bailey, a therapist who works with teens, college students, young women, and helping professionals. Therapy with me is collaborative: I hold the frame, you fill in the picture. Together we can explore life transitions, relationship patterns, identity, stress, and the expectations coming from school, work, family, and social media. With a client-centered approach, a cup of coffee and some humor, I create a space that feels real, supportive, and authentically yours.
I currently hold an LPC license. My work includes ages 13-60 and covers a variety of specialties including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, burn-out, people pleasing and friend/relationship dynamics. I pull from my training in EMDR, relational, ACT, CBT and an empathic trauma informed lens to best serve my clients.
No 'buts' here! Simply 'ands'. Two things can be true at the same time. Welcome to two things therapy, home of the ampersand. Many different styles and therapists exist and you get to decide what will work best for you and your current season of life. I'm eager to connect to see if I can be that provider for you.

Without trust and creating a safe therapeutic space, I'm no better than Google. I lean into person-centered relational therapy to create a foundation for our sessions, first. It's important we learn about one another before getting to anything else! I will then pull in elements of EMDR, CBT, polyvagal, strength-based and relational, depending on the tone and need we identify for our sessions.
