Got faith? Most of us struggle with the obstacles and challenges and we are in search of solutions. These struggles can be within yourself or within your relationships with those closest to you. The solutions that we try do not always work because we are looking in the wrong places. With faith in God, we can find the answers together.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, (1943), "The Theory of Human Motivation", reads: if a person’s basic needs (food, shelter, physical/mental safety) and social needs (love, belonging, self-worth, sense of purpose) are not fulfilled, that person will experience frustration and will “pivot” on a level of need that appears easiest to satisfy. Which level of need are you "stuck" on? Are you bound by anxious, fearful and mind-binding thoughts? Freedom is a goal that can be attained.

My name's Jessica and I work with neurodivergent women, especially moms, who in many ways, don't want to end up like their own mothers. They don't want to live life with anger, resentment, loneliness, martyrdom, or low self worth. They don't want to move from connection to connection without ever really feeling like they belong. Many of my clients come to therapy carrying things no one should ever have to carry alone. They need help understanding their feelings, overcoming the negative self talk loop, reconnecting with their body, and finding joy and compassion for themselves and others despite their own curated chaos.

Have you always felt something was “off,” even when life looked fine on the outside? Maybe you’ve seemed to have it together (capable, responsible, high-functioning) until suddenly you feel overwhelmed, on edge, or exhausted by trying to keep up. Perhaps you’ve fallen down a social-media rabbit hole and started noticing how much neurodivergent content resonates with you. Getting clarity around what’s actually going on can be an incredibly empowering first step. Understanding your anxiety, trauma history, ADHD, or possible autism isn’t about labeling you, it’s about reducing overwhelm and building a life that truly fits you.

If you or your family are struggling with issues like substance abuse, addiction, eating disorders, or relationship conflicts (infidelity, communication problems, etc.), therapy can be a great way to deal with those struggles. Most people struggle without support for longer than is helpful. People have the innate skills to cope and bounce back from their struggles. My goal as a therapist is to provide a non-judgmental space for you to identify and grow the tools to work on those struggles.

Do you feel like you're carrying the weight of the world, but no one can see it? Do you feel unheard in your relationship? It can be hard to put emotions into words, especially when feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns that seem impossible to break. The desire for peace is there, but knowing where to begin can feel daunting. Relationship conflict, whether with a partner, spouse, or loved one, can leave you feeling misunderstood, exhausted, and disconnected. Do the same arguments resurface? Does it sometimes feel like no matter how much you try, nothing changes?

You’re the one everyone counts on—but lately, you’ve been wondering, who supports you? You are often the doer, the caretaker, the fixer... balancing careers, families, and an endless list that never quite gets done... exhausted from the mental load, quietly struggling with anxiety and just feeling off. I also work with first responders and helping professionals feeling the emotional toll of always being the strong one, but suffering from the stress of job pressures. I support children (ages 10+) and teens learning to manage big emotions, a life transitions.

Hello and welcome! I'm Cat and I work with adults and teens who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, out of control, emotionally dysregulated and unfulfilled. I love working with people who have always felt different and have struggled to find meaning, purpose, and belonging in life. My philosophy as an existential therapist is that emotional distress often stems from a mismatch between the life we are currently living and the life we really want for ourselves. I believe the best place for healing is the place where you feel true alignment with your values, goals, identity, relationships, and desires. Let me help you get there.

As a therapist, I specialize in supporting individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—often high-functioning professionals, creatives, and caregivers who appear to have it all together on the outside but are quietly struggling within. My ideal client is someone who is thoughtful, insightful, and ready to engage in meaningful self-exploration. They may be dealing with anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, unresolved trauma, or simply a nagging sense that something’s “off,” even if they can’t yet name it. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—because you’re not broken.

Divorce Therapists
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.

What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.

When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.

How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
