Find relief from your thoughts & come learn the tools needed to rewrite your story
Accepting clients for in person therapy in Elizabeth City, NC and online therapy throughout North Carolina & Virginia.
Everyone experiences stress, overwhelm & anxiety, but what if it results in…
pure & utter exhaustion because your thoughts never stop
a sense of guilt & overwhelm that makes you question if life, parenting, & relationships are worth it
perfectionism that is impossible to obtain
obsessions, rituals and routines that cause distress when interrupted
shifting from mom rage to guilt and back again
a lack of boundaries that leaves you feeling resentment and questioning who you are
-
Does this merry-go-round make everyday exhausting? Does it feel like there is never enough time or like you are never good enough?
When your thoughts take over your life, it feels like being trapped in a cycle of worry and self-doubt, disrupting your sleep, draining your energy and creating chaos in relationships. This constant mental burden leaves you feeling overwhelmed, and as if there's never enough time or you're never good enough.
-
You love your kids and would do anything for your family—but somewhere along the way, you got lost. You’re constantly juggling too many roles, chasing unrealistic expectations, and feeling like you're never doing enough. The mental load is never-ending, the guilt is crushing, and the pressure to “do it all” is stealing your joy.
It doesn’t have to stay this way.
Imagine feeling at peace—even with dishes in the sink. Imagine letting go of perfectionism, setting real boundaries, and still being the kind of mom, partner, and person you want to be. Therapy can help you reconnect with yourself, rewrite old patterns, and finally feel like you're enough.

Do you find yourself walking on eggshells, doing everything you can to avoid the next meltdown? Canceling plans to prevent distress? Bending over backward to keep the peace?
I see you.
When your child has severe anxiety or OCD, it can feel like the only option is to manage it for them—by avoiding it altogether. But what if I told you there’s another way?
I’m trained in SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), a parent-based treatment model proven to reduce anxiety and OCD symptoms—without putting your child in the therapy chair. You’ll learn to support your child while reclaiming your confidence, boundaries, and peace at home.
With my support you CAN rewrite your story and make lasting change.
Are you struggling with anxiety? Racing thoughts? Guilt? Worry?
