Therapy for Creative Overthinkers in Maryland

OCD and Intrusive Thoughts
Overthinkers often wrestle with more than just obvious worries. Many experience hidden OCD tendencies like silent mental rituals, replaying conversations endlessly, or doubting their own memories. They might overanalyze choices to avoid mistakes, seek reassurance within themselves, or get stuck in rigid routines to manage anxiety. These patterns can quietly drain energy and deepen distress, making daily life feel overwhelming. Through creative and compassionate therapy, I help overthinkers gently break free from these loops and reconnect with calm and clarity.

Anxiety and Worry

Anxiety and worry can feel like a unpleasant background music, making it hard to relax or feel present. Anxiety makes you high alert, trying to protect you from something that might go wrong. In our work together, we gently listen to what it is trying to say, whether through talking, walking in nature, making art, or using practices that help you feel grounded. Over time, you can build a new relationship with anxiety, one where you feel more calm, clear, and in control.

2SLGBTQIA+

Identity navigators often carry the weight of unspoken questions and complex feelings about who they are. They might wrestle with uncertainty, societal pressure, or the fear of not “getting it right.” This journey can include moments of confusion, self-doubt, and the challenge of unlearning old stories about themselves.

These hidden struggles can feel isolating, but they also hold the potential for deep growth and self-discovery. Through creative therapy and compassionate support, I help identity navigators embrace their authentic selves and build confidence in their unique paths.

Artists, Actors, and Musicians with Performance Anxiety or Burnout

As an artist and former performer myself, I deeply understand the joys and challenges of creative life. Many creative performers and overthinkers face challenges like performance anxiety, creative blocks, and burnout. With approaches like art therapy, narrative work, and mindfulness, I help you reconnect to your creativity and build resilience so you can thrive both on stage and in life.

Sleep Issues, Insomnia, Restless Nights, and Dreamwork
Nocturnal explorers often face more than just trouble falling asleep. Many experience restless nights filled with vivid dreams, night awakenings, or a lingering sense of mental alertness that keeps them stuck in limbo between sleep and wakefulness. It’s exhausting to live in battle with racing thoughts, a body that won’t settle, or a dread of bedtime itself. A blend of ERP, ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness can help overcome common sleep disorders like insomnia and nightmares.
