LCSW, 6 years of experience
Are you constantly overthinking, trying to make everyone happy, and feeling anxious no matter how hard you try? My clients often struggle with perfectionism, people-pleasing, and looping negative thoughts that leave them emotionally drained. Hello, my name is Mariah, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for the past 7 years. My approach is rooted in CBT, using evidence-based tools like cognitive restructuring, assertiveness training, and defusion techniques. I guide individuals to interrupt anxious thinking, set healthy boundaries, and gain more control over their mind and emotions. Clients can expect to feel clearer, more confident, and more at peace—ready to become the partner, parent, and professional they truly want to be. If you’re tired of second-guessing yourself and ready to feel more at peace, reached out for a consultation or set up an intake right online.
In our first session, we will get to know each other and what brings you to therapy. I will ask you basic questions about your concerns and we will dive deeper into topics once we get to know each other more. Taking that first step towards help may be intimidating, but on the other side of fear lies joy and peace. I am a simple person that seeks joy in the small moments, I am a foodie and mother of two. I get it, I struggled with constant worry my young adult life. I aim for my clients to feel safe, comfortable, and understood in sessions.
