You're smart, self-aware, and honestly pretty good at explaining exactly why you're stuck. You just can't seem to get unstuck. The to-do list exists. The plan sort of exists. And yet — the avoidance, the overthinking, the decision that keeps not getting made. Sound familiar? Anxiety, perfectionism, and big life transitions have a way of quietly running the show. Therapy isn't about fixing what's wrong with you — because nothing is. It's about understanding what's underneath, building some actual tools, and figuring out what you want. Not what everyone else thinks you should.

Welcome! I am a multi-state counselor (TX, CO, OR - LPC, CA - LPCC) with over 15 years of experience in mental health and recovery-oriented care. At my practice, The Person Center, PLLC, I specialize in supporting high-functioning adults who may look successful on the outside, but internally feel exhausted by chronic stress, anxiety, relational patterns, or burnout. I focus on serving introspective achievers, caretakers, and professionals who are stuck in a cycle of overthinking, "buzzing" anxiety, or sudden emotional shutdown. My goal is to help you step out of chronic survival mode and into genuine, lasting peace.
