One of the most challenging steps in making a change is reaching out for help, so I’m glad you’re here. Clients I see often express feelings of overwhelm, worry, things “not going right,” and finding themselves repeating cycles they can’t seem to get out of. I hear time and time again that they’ve tried many ways to help themselves: self-help books, meditation apps, therapy social media accounts, yoga and breath work, changed their diet/exercise, and even medication management… but they still struggle. Despite these efforts, it seems like the “oomph” they’ve needed for their healing was having a space to process their thoughts.

Hi, I’m Raegan. I thrive in helping young adults & adults work through anxiety & past painful experiences to live a life that authentic and empowering. Does it feel like living in constant states of anxiety, stress, and depression become your baseline of functioning? Perhaps you’ve tried everything to change this, and you feel stuck. There is nothing wrong with you-you’ve adapted to survive in impossible environments. As an attachment-based, relational, and integrative therapist, I guide you as you reconnect with your authentic self through acceptance , compassion, and curiosity.

Whether you are struggling with trauma from the past or current, dealing with anxiety or depression that makes it hard to function in your everyday life, or have lost connection with yourself, life can get messy and chaotic. At these times we all can use some help because it is just difficult dealing with it on your own! I can assist you in reconnecting with your true self and learning how to use these hardships to develop the skills to carry you through your life. When you are ready to do this hard work, I am ready to walk beside you on your journey of healing. Caring for you is not a selfish act but an act of self-love.

In our work together, you will learn how to relate to yourself and the painful realities of life skillfully. To begin, I'll support you in slowly turning attention inward while remaining grounded and open. From this connected space, we'll inquire into the thoughts, behaviors, emotions, and sensations that color your experience of life. Naturally, unresolved trauma and grief will call attention to themselves. We'll meet them together, with genuine curiosity and compassion. Insights emerge both spontaneously and gradually when relating in this way and 'the work' begins to feel more authentic, enjoyable, and healing.

Gifted students tend to set high expectations and standards for themselves; are perfectionistic and become profoundly disappointed, stressed, and hopeless if they feel they have failed to measure up to their expectations. Gifted individuals are intense and sensitive. Some may view these "big emotions" as illogical, scary, and risky. They need support in balancing their interpersonal and emotional self with their intellectual and logical self. Through setting goals that are realistic and healthy, educating gifted about their overexcitabilities, introducing healthy coping strategies, and self-soothing tools prove very impactful.

In my experience anxiety and depression symptoms are often manifestations of a lack of self-compassion along with a lack of inner understanding. I help clients connect to themselves and in turn, connect with others, I do this by helping people foster kindness and acceptance toward themselves. When my clients practice self-care and acceptance , and learn more about themselves they begin to see the benefits of the work they are doing. These benefits include feeling more grounded, less triggered, and having a clearer sense of who they are.
