Support for Professionals, Parents, and Perfectionists Facing Stress and Overwhelm
You’re used to holding it all together—but lately, stress, self-doubt, or exhaustion may be wearing you down. If you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, or cycles of overthinking and self-criticism, therapy in Overland Park, KS or therapy in Cambridge, MA can help you regain clarity and resilience. I specialize in supporting professionals, parents, and high achievers who are ready to understand themselves more deeply, improve their mental health, and create meaningful, sustainable change. As a psychologist, I also work extensively with OCD, helping clients break free from intrusive thoughts and compulsive cycles so they can focus on what truly matters. My approach integrates support for depression, insomnia, and multiracial identity concerns when they arise.
Anxiety doesn’t always look the same—it might be constant worry, sudden waves of panic, or compulsive loops that feel impossible to break. If your mind won’t slow down or you feel trapped by fear or uncertainty, anxiety therapy can help you find relief. Together, we’ll work to calm the mental noise, challenge unhelpful patterns, and build confidence in your ability to cope and move forward.

Anxiety, panic, & ocd
You’re used to pushing through stress, meeting deadlines, and aiming for excellence—but it can be exhausting. When worry, overcommitment, and self-doubt start taking over, it’s easy to feel stuck in a cycle of pressure and overwhelm. Therapy for burnout can help you find a healthier balance, quiet the mental noise, and build a sense of confidence that isn’t tied to achievement.

perfectionism & Burnout
Low mood & Disconnection
When you’re feeling down, flat, or emotionally distant, it can be hard to stay engaged with the people and activities that once mattered. Depression often shows up as heaviness, isolation, or going through the motions without feeling present. In depression therapy, we’ll identify what’s contributing to these feelings and work toward meaningful shifts that help you reconnect—with yourself, your values, and your life.
You’ve tried everything—shutting off screens, white noise, meditation—but you’re still staring at the ceiling at 2am. Sleep struggles are frustrating and can impact every part of your life. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) to help you improve sleep patterns, quiet racing thoughts, and wake up feeling more rested. As a therapist in Overland Park, KS and Cambridge, MA, I offer structured, supportive treatment tailored to your specific sleep challenges.
Chronic sleep struggles
Self-doubt & Inner criticism
You hold yourself to high standards, but when those expectations turn into constant self-judgment, they can start to take a toll. If you often feel like nothing is ever “good enough,” therapy for perfectionism can help you develop a more balanced and supportive way of relating to yourself. By building self-compassion, you can move forward with confidence rather than fear of failure.

Multiracial & Cultural identity
Navigating the complexities of a multiracial identity can feel isolating—especially when you don’t fit into a single box. Whether you’re exploring questions of belonging, cultural identity, or self-acceptance, therapy is a space where all parts of you are welcome. Together in multiracial therapy, we’ll work on embracing your full identity, processing your experiences, and helping you feel more at home in your own skin.
Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Using CBT (including I-CBT), ERP, DBT, and ACT, I offer structured, effective support for anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, depression, and more—helping you build practical tools and long-term emotional strength.
Evidence-based approaches for meaningful change
-
CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, self-doubt, and overwhelm. By learning practical strategies, you can develop a more balanced perspective and take action toward what truly matters to you. For phobias and panic, exposure therapy helps you gradually face fears in a manageable way, reducing avoidance and building confidence.
For OCD, I-CBT helps you question the “what if” doubts at the root of obsessions while helping you reconnect with your inner sense of certainty.
-
I-CBT is a specialized approach for OCD that focuses on the start of the obsessional cycle, including the moment when a doubt or intrusive thought first takes hold. Instead of challenging the content of obsessions, I-CBT helps you recognize when your mind has shifted from reality-based reasoning to “what-if” thinking. Through this process, you learn to step back from faulty inferences, reconnect with your inner sense of certainty, and respond in ways that align with your values rather than fear. Therapy in Overland Park and Cambridge can provide the structure and support needed to break these cycles and build lasting resilience.
-
For OCD, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) supports breaking free from compulsive cycles by learning to tolerate uncertainty without engaging in rituals. ERP is a collaborative, step-by-step process where we gently and gradually approach triggers while resisting compulsions, helping your brain learn that the feared outcomes are less likely than they seem. Over time, this reduces the grip of anxiety and allows you to focus on what’s meaningful rather than what feels urgent in the moment.
-
ACT helps you move away from the struggle of trying to control difficult thoughts and emotions, instead focusing on living in alignment with your values. Through mindfulness and self-compassion, you’ll learn how to make room for discomfort while still taking meaningful steps forward.
-
DBT offers skills to navigate intense emotions, reduce reactivity, and build resilience. With a focus on mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness, this approach supports you in responding to challenges with clarity and confidence.
