Are you constantly analyzing your thoughts, stuck in mental loops, or feeling the urge to “just be sure” before moving on? I specialize in working with girls and women navigating OCD, anxiety, and the pressure to measure up. Whether you're a student, professional, or mom, you may look composed on the outside but feel overwhelmed inside, always striving to be perfect, keep the peace, or stay in control. I help you quiet the mental noise, set boundaries, and feel more grounded in who you are. SAME week availability for girls, teens, and adult women through Simplify Life Counseling.
I help people who feel stuck in worry, intrusive thoughts, or burnout from trying to do it all. Together, we’ll face the thoughts and habits that keep you anxious, learn new ways to respond, and build healthier boundaries—so you can feel more clear, calm, and in control of your life.
Feeling stuck in overthinking, anxiety, or the pressure are all places I've been. As someone who struggled with OCD, scrupulosity, and anxiety from a young age, I now help women and girls find freedom, too. Your diagnosis isn’t your identity. With the right support, anxiety can work for you, not against you. Faith integration is available if desired.
