Who I Help?
My practice primarily focuses on helping millennial professional women navigate anxiety, excessive worry, overthinking, perfectionism, and self-doubt. I also work with adults of other ages and genders when their concerns and treatment needs are a good fit for my clinical approach.
Many of the women I work with are down-to-earth, driven, responsible, and successful in their careers. Although they often manage their daily responsibilities well, they may privately struggle with constant worry, self-criticism, second-guessing themselves, difficulty tolerating uncertainty, or feeling like they’re never doing enough.
Anxiety is my primary clinical specialty, particularly when it shows up as overthinking, perfectionism, self-doubt, pressure to meet high expectations, and difficulty managing uncertainty.
Therapy focuses on helping clients understand their anxiety patterns, develop practical coping strategies, build self-trust, become more comfortable with uncertainty, and make choices that align with their values so they can live more fully.
Common Concerns and Life Situations
My primary specialty is anxiety and overthinking, particularly among professional women who struggle with perfectionism, self-doubt, and difficulty managing uncertainty.
I also address relationship concerns, major life changes, grief and loss, and perinatal anxiety when these are appropriate for individual outpatient therapy. These concerns may occur alongside anxiety or be important parts of a client’s broader treatment goals.
Primary and Common Presenting Concerns
- Anxiety and Overthinking: Excessive worry, racing thoughts, difficulty relaxing, fear of uncertainty, and repeatedly questioning decisions or possible outcomes.
- Perfectionism: High personal expectations, fear of making mistakes, self-criticism, pressure to achieve or be productive, and feeling like their efforts are never enough.
- Imposter Syndrome and Self-Doubt: Questioning their abilities, comparing themselves to others, second-guessing decisions, and difficulty trusting themselves despite their accomplishments.
Additional Concerns Addressed in Individual Therapy
- Individual Relationship Issues: Communication difficulties, relationship conflict, difficulty expressing needs, setting boundaries, and managing anxiety or uncertainty within relationships.
- Life Changes, Grief, and Loss: Emotional challenges related to divorce, breakups, pet loss, marriage and relationship changes, motherhood, perimenopause, friendship changes, grief, and other significant life transitions.
- Perinatal Anxiety: Excessive worry during pregnancy or postpartum, concerns about their baby’s well-being, uncertainty about motherhood, and difficulty adjusting to new responsibilities and expectations.
These concerns may overlap, but they do not always stem from anxiety. Treatment is individualized based on each client’s presenting concerns, circumstances, and goals.
Who Tends to be a Good Fit For My Approach
My approach tends to work best with adults who are interested in understanding themselves, developing practical skills, and making meaningful changes.
A strong match may include clients who:
- Experience anxiety, overthinking, or self-doubt while continuing to manage work, relationships, and everyday responsibilities.
- Are comfortable with or interested in a conversational, collaborative therapy style.
- Want to understand their thoughts, emotions, and behavior patterns, including those that may contribute to ongoing anxiety or distress.
- Are open to exploring different perspectives, receiving feedback, and considering gentle challenges.
- Are interested in bringing concerns or experiences to sessions and gradually becoming more active in the therapeutic process.
- Want to learn practical strategies they can apply outside of therapy.
- Hope to develop greater self-trust, become more comfortable with uncertainty, improve relationships, and create greater balance and enjoyment in their lives.
Therapy is a collaborative process. Clients bring their experiences, concerns, values, and goals, while I contribute clinical knowledge, observations, feedback, and practical strategies.
We work together to recognize patterns, develop insight, strengthen coping skills, and make changes that support each client’s goals. Participation and readiness for change can develop over time.
When this May Not Be the Best Fit
Simply Living Counseling provides ongoing outpatient individual psychotherapy. This practice may not be appropriate for individuals who:
- Require crisis intervention, emergency psychiatric services, or a higher level of care due to significant safety concerns, active suicidal or homicidal intent, active psychosis, or severe psychiatric instability.
- Are seeking primary treatment for active substance use disorders or eating disorders requiring specialized care.
- Need couples therapy, family therapy, therapy for children or adolescents, or in-person treatment.
- Are seeking psychological assessments, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder or autism evaluations, court-ordered services, forensic evaluations, or legal or disability evaluations and documentation.
- Require intensive treatment or a higher frequency of care than standard weekly or biweekly outpatient psychotherapy.
Therapy is a collaborative process. Clients bring their experiences, concerns, values, and goals, while I contribute clinical knowledge, observations, feedback, and practical strategies.

My Therapy Approach & Style
My therapeutic approach is conversational, collaborative, practical, and gently challenging. I primarily provide talk therapy that combines open discussion, reflection, psychoeducation, clinical feedback, and evidence-based strategies.
I take an active role in sessions by helping clients identify unhelpful patterns, understand connections between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, consider different perspectives, and develop strategies they can use in everyday life.
My approach incorporates:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Helps clients identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, manage anxiety, reduce overthinking, examine behaviors that maintain distress, and develop healthier coping strategies.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: Helps clients clarify personal values, develop greater psychological flexibility, practice acceptance of difficult thoughts and emotions, and take meaningful action even when anxiety or uncertainty is present.
- Mindfulness-Based Strategies: Help clients increase awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and physical experiences, become more present, and respond more intentionally rather than automatically reacting.
Therapy is not limited to symptom management. We also explore perfectionism, self-criticism, relationship patterns, personal values, boundaries, and expectations that may contribute to ongoing difficulties.
My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, develop practical skills, build self-trust, navigate life’s challenges, and live more fully without allowing anxiety to dictate their decisions.
