Stop second-guessing yourself, putting everyone else first, and trying to get everything right.
I help women build the confidence to trust their choices, set boundaries without guilt, and be themselves—without worrying about disappointing everyone else.

Anxiety and Trauma-informed therapy for Women • Inner Life Therapy
You don’t have to keep holding everything together.
You may be the person others see as capable, dependable, and successful. But inside, you’re exhausted from overthinking, second-guessing yourself, trying to keep everyone happy, and feeling like you should always be doing more.
Maybe you struggle to say no without guilt. You replay conversations and wonder if you said the wrong thing. You put enormous pressure on yourself to get things right. And even when life looks good from the outside, it can be hard to actually feel calm, confident, or at peace.
Therapy can help you step out of these patterns and begin trusting yourself again.
I help women work through anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, trauma, and chronic self-doubt so they can feel more grounded, set healthier boundaries, and live with greater confidence and peace.
With over 20 years of experience.

Hi, I'm Anita
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps women understand and change the patterns that keep them anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or constantly questioning whether they’re doing enough.
My approach goes beyond simply talking about what’s wrong.
Together, we can explore what’s underneath the anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or emotional overwhelm — while also developing practical ways to help you feel calmer and more secure in your everyday life.
Depending on your needs, I draw from evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches including EMDR, somatic therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and talk therapy.
For clients who desire it, Christian faith can also be thoughtfully integrated into therapy. You do not need to be Christian to work with me.
My goal is to provide a space where you don’t have to perform, have the right answers, or take care of anyone else.
You get to be the one who is supported.

Lets work together
You’ll be heard — not judged.
You don’t need to arrive knowing exactly what’s wrong or how to explain it. We’ll start with what you’re experiencing now and what you would like to feel different.
We’ll understand the patterns underneath it.
Instead of only managing symptoms, we can explore why certain patterns keep repeating — whether that’s overthinking, perfectionism, difficulty setting boundaries, people-pleasing, anxiety, or responses connected to past experiences.
We’ll work with more than your thoughts.
Sometimes you understand intellectually why you feel the way you do, but your body still reacts as though something is wrong.
When appropriate, I incorporate trauma-informed approaches such as EMDR and somatic therapy to help address patterns that may not change through insight alone.
We’ll work toward change you can actually feel.
Therapy isn’t only about understanding your past.
It’s about helping you feel more grounded in the present — trusting your decisions, setting boundaries with less guilt, quieting the constant self-criticism, and feeling more comfortable being yourself.
What You'll Have After Your First Few Sessions
You won't have to wait months to feel a difference in how you understand yourself. In the first few sessions, you'll:
Understand how you think. You'll start to see your own thought patterns clearly, including the overthinking, second-guessing, and self-criticism that have felt automatic.
Understand your nervous system's response. You'll learn why your body reacts the way it does when you're anxious or overwhelmed, so it stops feeling random or like something is wrong with you.
Leave with day-to-day strategies to calm down. You'll have practical tools you can use in the moment, at work, at home, or in the middle of a hard conversation.
From there, we go deeper into the patterns underneath, using EMDR, somatic therapy, and ACT when it's right for you.
You might be in the right place, if…..
You’re tired of constantly overthinking.
You’re successful or capable on the outside but anxious underneath.
You have a hard time saying no without feeling guilty.
You worry about disappointing people.
You hold yourself to standards you would never expect from anyone else.
You replay conversations and second-guess your decisions.
You take care of everyone else but struggle to make space for yourself.
You know where some of these patterns come from — but knowing hasn’t been enough to change them.
You don’t have to keep living this way.

Choosing a therapist is personal. You don’t have to decide based on a website.
Start with a free 15-minute consultation.
We can briefly talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’re hoping will change, and whether my approach feels like a good fit for what you need.
There’s no pressure to have everything figured out before you reach out.

My Areas of Specialty
-
Anxiety
Somatic therapy can help with anxiety as it focuses on the physical experience in the body to discover the cause of your anxiety.
-
Trauma
Somatic processing is a body centered approach to treating trauma that helps you to move beyond your thoughts and into a new way of processing your trauma.
-
Depression
By learning to “sit” with our feelings of depression rather than suppress, which is our normal tendency you can learn to manage your depression.
-
Spiritual Care
Are you feeling disconnected from your inner world and soul? If you need space to slow down and hear from God, this is a dedicated time for you to be still and meet with God and also to talk through any issues you might be having.
