Hi, I'm Dr. Ibbie! I help adults who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, and relationship stress. If you find yourself constantly overanalyzing, seeking reassurance, struggling with boundaries, or reacting in ways that don't align with who you want to be, you're not alone. My approach is attachment-based, practical, and action-oriented. Together, we'll uncover the deeper patterns driving these struggles while building the skills to regulate your nervous system, interrupt anxious spirals, and respond with greater confidence instead of reacting from fear or overwhelm. My goal is to help you create lasting change—not just inside the therapy room, but in your everyday relationships and life.
Your first session is more than just telling your story. While I'll take time to understand what brought you to therapy, we'll also begin identifying the patterns that may be keeping you stuck—including the attachment wounds, beliefs, and nervous system responses driving your anxiety or relationship struggles. You'll leave with practical tools you can start using right away to interrupt anxious spirals, regulate your emotions, and respond more intentionally in situations that usually feel overwhelming. My goal is for you to leave your very first session with greater clarity, hope, and a concrete plan for moving forward.
Clients often tell me they appreciate that our sessions are both validating and practical. I create a supportive space where you can process difficult experiences, but I also believe therapy should leave you with tools you can actually use between sessions. I combine attachment-based therapy with evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation strategies to help you understand why you get stuck and, more importantly, what to do differently. Rather than simply talking about problems, we'll practice responding to anxiety, relationship stress, and emotional overwhelm in new ways so you can feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your choices.
I help adults who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and relationship stress. Many of my clients find themselves constantly analyzing conversations, struggling to set boundaries, fearing rejection or conflict, or repeating the same frustrating patterns in relationships, friendships, family dynamics, and work. My approach combines attachment-based therapy with practical tools to help you understand why these patterns developed, reduce emotional overwhelm, and build healthier ways of relating to yourself and others. Together, we work toward greater self-trust, emotional regulation, confidence, and more secure, fulfilling relationships.
I incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients develop a healthier relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions rather than becoming controlled by them. ACT supports clients in identifying their core values and making choices that align with the life they want to build, even when anxiety, fear, or uncertainty are present. This approach helps clients move from feeling stuck in overthinking and avoidance to taking meaningful action guided by their values.
I use attachment-based therapy to help clients understand how early relationship experiences may be influencing current patterns in relationships, anxiety, self-worth, and emotional regulation. Together, we explore attachment styles and recurring relational dynamics such as people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, fear of rejection, emotional withdrawal, or relationship anxiety. The goal is to increase self-awareness, build self-trust, and develop more secure ways of relating to both yourself and others.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify patterns between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Many clients struggle with anxiety-driven thinking patterns such as catastrophizing, overthinking, mind-reading, and jumping to conclusions. Through CBT and my Spiral Interrupter Method, clients learn to recognize when anxiety is taking over, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and respond more intentionally rather than react impulsively. The goal is to reduce emotional overwhelm and build greater confidence in navigating life's challenges and relationships.
I incorporate concepts from Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients better understand the different "parts" of themselves that show up in daily life. Many clients notice perfectionistic, self-critical, anxious, or reactive parts that seem to take over in certain situations. Rather than viewing these responses as flaws, we explore the protective role these parts may be serving. Together, we work to identify patterns such as perfectionism, emotional reactivity, people-pleasing, withdrawal, or overthinking, while developing greater compassion and understanding for the underlying emotions and experiences driving them. This approach helps clients respond to themselves with more curiosity and self-compassion, leading to increased emotional regulation, self-awareness, and internal balance.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy I incorporate mindfulness-based approaches to help clients become more aware of their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations without immediately reacting to them. Many clients struggling with anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, or relationship stress find themselves caught in cycles of worry, emotional overwhelm, or automatic patterns of behavior. Through mindfulness practices, clients learn to slow down, stay present, and respond with greater intention rather than reacting from anxiety or emotional activation. Mindfulness can help increase emotional regulation, reduce reactivity, improve self-awareness, and create space for healthier decision-making in everyday life and relationships.
