Do you ever question if the bad things that happened to you are your fault? Maybe you spend a significant amount of time overthinking or trying to avoid the thoughts and feelings you experience. This is a normal response for many of us, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. Together we can explore and identify the strengths that you already have and use them as a foundation to build new skills for your healing. As your therapist, I will validate the struggles you are experiencing and challenge you to develop new skills that will not only improve your relationship with yourself, but also, with others.

Most of the people I work with are capable, responsible, and very tired. They are professionals, parents, and caregivers who show up for everyone else while quietly carrying stress, burnout, poor sleep, or relationship strain. On the outside, things look fine. On the inside, they feel stretched thin, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. Therapy with me is a place where you do not have to perform or hold it all together. It is a supportive space to slow down, untangle what feels heavy, strengthen boundaries, and reconnect with who you are beyond the roles you carry.

You can’t stop thinking about how other people see you. It’s why you replay conversations long after they end. A small comment or awkward moment spirals into hours of second-guessing: Why did I say that? What do they think of me now? Did I ruin everything? For teens and adults who struggle with overthinking, the pressure to say the right thing and be accepted is relentless. That pressure follows you through school, work, and even late at night when you’re trying to sleep. Scrolling through social media only adds to the comparison and self-doubt. You’re tired of the constant worry – of feeling trapped inside your own thoughts.

For many people of color, especially single Black women, these feelings can show up not only in their careers but also in dating and relationships, often tied to imposter syndrome rooted in bias, stereotypes, or lack of representation.
