MINDCARE PSYCHOLOGY WELCOMES YOU

Anxiety-focused care for every season of life, from the playroom to the boardroom to the nursery

SERVICES I OFFER

You don't have to do this alone.

Anxiety, OCD & Panic

Anxiety is sneaky. It can look like overthinking, perfectionism, irritability, insomnia, or a racing heart in the middle of a meeting. It can sound like "what if" on repeat, or like intrusive thoughts that scare you because they're the opposite of who you are. And it often hides behind people who look like they have it all together.

You might replay conversations for hours, check and re-check, avoid what makes you nervous, or seek reassurance that never quite lands. Sometimes a low, heavy mood comes along for the ride. None of this means you're broken. It means your alarm system is working overtime, and it can learn to settle.

How therapy can help

We'll use the treatments with the strongest research behind them: CBT, exposure and response prevention (ERP) for OCD and intrusive thoughts, ACT, and DBT skills for the moments when your body is louder than your logic. I'll be warm, and I'll also gently nudge you toward the things anxiety tells you to avoid, because that's where the relief lives. The goal isn't to never feel anxious again. It's to trust yourself more than you trust the fear.

Anxious High Achievers

You're the reliable one. The one with the color-coded calendar, the glowing reviews, the answer for everyone. And underneath it, a hum of worry that never fully turns off. Perfectionism isn't about wanting to be perfect; it's a shield we carry so we never have to feel not enough. I work with young adults and professionals, especially in high-pressure fields like finance, who are ready to put that shield down and still do great work.

What this often looks like

Social anxiety, performance anxiety, and panic
Perfectionism that has stopped being useful
Burnout, and the guilt that comes with slowing down
Procrastination on the things that matter most
The inner voice that says "not enough" no matter the evidence
Anxiety that shows up in the body before it shows up in words

Couples

Most couples don't come to therapy because they've stopped loving each other. They come because they keep having the same fight, or because somewhere along the way they became excellent roommates and lonely partners.

I'm trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method (Levels 1 & 2). Together, we'll slow down the patterns that pull you apart, get curious about the longing underneath the conflict, and practice new ways of reaching for each other.

Whether you're stuck in the same arguments, feeling disconnected, or trying to find your way back to closeness and desire, this is a space where both of you can be heard without blame, and where your relationship can grow steadier, warmer, and more alive.

Anxious Kids & Teens

When your child is struggling, it can feel like you're failing, even when you're doing everything you can. You're not. Big feelings aren't a sign of bad parenting, and your child isn't giving you a hard time. They're having a hard time.

You might be wondering:

Is this irritability a phase, or something more?

Why is my child pulling away, or refusing school?

Why doesn't my teen want to talk to me anymore?

How do I help with constant worry, meltdowns, or overwhelm?

How do I best support my child's unique needs?

Why does it feel like our whole family is walking on eggshells?

Teens especially need a space to talk outside their inner circle, and kids of all ages do best when the adults around them feel steady too. That's why I pair a child's treatment with parent support, including monthly parenting sessions, so what changes in therapy can change at home.

With experience as a school psychologist in public and private schools, I can also help you navigate school concerns, accommodation plans, and the IEP process.

Perinatal Anxiety & Mood

Becoming a mother can be beautiful and disorienting at the same time. Both can be true. Pregnancy and postpartum can bring anxiety, intrusive thoughts, low mood, and a quiet grief for the person you were, often while everyone around you is asking about the baby.

I support women through pregnancy, postpartum, and the return to work with warmth and evidence-based care. I've completed specialized training in perinatal mental health, including Perinatal Mental Health: Culturally Informed Approaches to Screening, Assessment, and Treatment, and am pursuing PMH-C certification through Postpartum Support International.
