Introduction

I help adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, and stuck in their own heads finally feel calm, confident, and in control again. I specialize in anxiety, overthinking, and self-doubt, and I use a warm, relatable, modern approach to therapy. My work focuses on helping you understand your patterns, heal from past experiences, and build the tools you need to actually feel better, not just talk about it. If you’re tired of spiraling thoughts, constant worry, people-pleasing, or second-guessing yourself, therapy with me will help you regulate your nervous system, rebuild confidence, and start trusting yourself again. I’m trained in trauma-informed care, EMDR, and advanced anxiety treatment, and I integrate these approaches to support deeper healing from past trauma while helping you create real, lasting change in your day-to-day life. I work primarily with millennial adults navigating anxiety, overthinking, and patterns shaped by past experiences. I offer individual therapy for adults, both in person in Apple Valley, California and virtually across the state. My sessions are private pay, allowing for more personalized, in-depth support without the limitations of insurance. I am also the author of Aligned: A Therapist’s Guide to Getting Over the Sh*t That’s Been Holding You Back, where I guide readers through understanding anxiety, quieting overthinking, and creating a more aligned, grounded life. You deserve to feel lighter, calmer, and more connected to yourself. If you’re ready to start, I’d love to support you. www.truehealingtherapy.com
