Overthinking therapy for high achievers who get stuck ruminating, rehearsing fake arguments on replay, and overthinking.

What is overthinking therapy?

You are smart, driven, and by all appearances, you have it all together. With one tiny, sometimes maddening, exception: you overthink constantly. You’ve already tried to reason your way out of it, and the thinking is the trap.

On one hand, it feels like your superpower. It’s the thing that makes you great at what you do. On the other, it’s exactly what’s causing all your stress.

Overthinking therapy helps you do something different: instead of analyzing a thought until you’re finally certain, you learn to let your mind settle and trust yourself again. You learn the difference between intentional and purposeful thought versus another overthinking spiral nightmare. 

You don’t need to change who you are, you just want to get your evenings, and your peace, back.

3. We Start

Sessions built around your specific patterns, not a generic template.

I thought I just knew the right way to do things. It seemed my brain worked differently than everyone else’s. When things didn’t go as expected, the frustration would build until I was snapping at family, friends, coworkers…anger I was trying to stuff down.

Then one summer it got worse: scary imagery, constant worry, no way to explain it or escape it. I was terrified and had no idea why, until the right therapy finally unlocked what was actually going on.

That’s exactly why I do this work.

Yes, therapy is hard af sometimes. I cut right to the core of things, but I bring authenticity and a mindful approach to whatever comes up.

🤓 For the nerdy stuff: I’m a licensed clinical social worker currently accepting patients in Washington and Oklahoma.

Here’s how I choose your treatment approach together:

Therapy

1:1 Individual Therapy

 45 – 55 minute sessions

In our sessions, I start by assessing what’s bringing you into therapy and help you identify your goals. Basically: what’s got you here, and what do you want to happen by being here? I use what you share to develop treatment goals that are tailored to you.

Then we move into the nitty gritty. This is where I draw on evidence-based treatments to help you calm racing thoughts, break out of spiraled thinking, rumination, and other patterns that aren’t serving you.

Throughout treatment, I take an educational approach…because if you’re anything like me, you want to understand why it’s happening in the first place.

The evidence-based training I use is ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) for OCD treatment, and I-CBT (Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) when needed. For trauma treatment, I use EMDR, DBT, and CPT. These are well-established, evidence-based approaches. Choosing what you’ll benefit from most comes from our sessions.

No Surprises Act

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.​

Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.​​

Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.
