Sometimes life can be like standing in a garden filled with weeds that are 20 feet tall leading you to feel stuck, suffocated, and lonely. It can be hard to know where to start and how to make your way through the weeds. Depression and anxiety can often make us feel the same way. What are the current weeds in your life? Grief? Anxiety? Dating? Relationship conflicts?

Are you facing life's complexities and challenges? I'm here to help. As a therapist, I support clients in addressing a range of issues—whether they are current or rooted in the past. I firmly believe that the relationship we have with ourselves is foundational to improving the quality of our lives. That is why I work with clients in helping them explore aspects of themselves that may be interfering with their growth and development. Oftentimes this can manifest in the form of unhelpful behaviors, unhealthy ways of coping, or clinical disorders. Whatever it may look like, we can work through it together.

You’re exhausted. Looking at the clock, you see the day is almost over, and your to-do list is longer now than it was this morning. There are simply not enough hours in the day to get everything done. You’re drowning as each new task threatens to drag you under and leave you gasping for air. Just when you’re about to take a moment for yourself, someone asks you for help, and your guilt won’t allow you to say “no.” You haven’t been able to take time for yourself in years. Lately, your existence seems to belong to everyone but you. You don’t even remember the dreams and goals you once had. There must be more to life than this, in you.

Hi there! I'm Lacy. I provide therapy for cycle-breakers. Who is a cycle breaker, you ask? A cycle-breaker refers to anyone consciously choosing to change harmful patterns in themselves and their relationships. Common patterns I address in my practice include fostering independence, processing grief, increasing self-esteem and self-compassion, and healing from abusive behavior. If you know something needs to change for the better in yourself and your relationships but aren’t sure how to start, let’s talk.

Through an attachment-based and person-centered perspective, I offer clients a safe, empathic, and honest place to connect with themselves and build the skills to connect with others in a meaningful way.
I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and identity issues. Many of my clients find themselves in the role of caretaker, often as a result of past experiences or trauma, and end up feeling depleted and resentful in their relationships. I help clients learn to wade through the noise and connect to their authentic selves, which helps them healthily connect to others.
