You've been following a rulebook you didn't write, and honestly? You’re exhausted.

"Don't make waves," "Get it right the first time," and the greatest hit of them all, “If you disappoint anyone, you'll pay for it.” So you became very, very careful. Gold star student! Reliable friend! Person who has never sent a risky text without proofreading it at least five times!

The rules you’ve been following written for you, not by you though. And that’s exactly why they feel so soul-sucking.

You don't need to burn everything down overnight. You just need someone (like me!) to help you sort out the rules worth keeping from the ones you can finally put down for good.

I’m Halle! Your anxiety therapist who’s in it (the mess, the feels, the screenshots) with you.

If you grew up in a family that had freakishly specific ideas about how to live your life “correctly,” I see you! I work with overthinkers and high-achievers who are finally realizing that they don’t have to do things the way they were raised to.

Together we’ll figure out exactly what you need so your mind stops trying to create the next iteration of Final Destination over a simple trip to happy hour with your friends or partner. I’ll also help you filter out noise from influencers, your well-meaning neighbor, and that one lady you met at a yoga class who swears green juice is the answer to everything.

I’m a professionally educated, license-wielding therapist, and a living, breathing, chronic DIYer who knows how good it can feel to finally (finally!) let someone else step in and offer guidance.

My Clinical Approach

Anxiety lives in the body and the mind, which is exactly why I use approaches that go deeper than just talking about your problems.

Brainspotting

A brain-body based therapy (aka somatic therapy) that helps us locate and process the places where anxiety, stress, and old wounds get stored in your nervous system. It's especially powerful for high achievers and overthinkers whose minds are very good at intellectualizing their way around the real work.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Also called parts work, IFS helps us get curious about the different parts of you that are driving the overthinking, the people-pleasing, and the relentless need to get everything right.

Rather than fighting those parts, we figure out what they actually need. It's one of the most compassionate frameworks I've found for the kind of anxiety my clients carry.

spirituality-informed practices

This isn't required, but for clients whose cultural backgrounds or personal beliefs include spiritual practices, honoring that in the therapy room can open up healing that more traditional approaches can't always reach.

Some practices I guide clients through are rooted in animism, Tarot, ancestor work, altar building, and customized rituals for reducing the intensity of anxiety.

Therapy’s not all I do though!

I happen to be a pro at:

Recreating gluten-free, allergen-friendly versions of the Creole food I grew up with 

Consuming okra in all of its forms (minus that okra water trend going around right now)

Weaving spiritual practices into everything I do

My other talents include:

Seeking out silliness (whether I’m scavenging for memes or hanging out with a donkey in a mini-sombrero, I. Will. Find. It.)

Putting an end to slander against Geminis

Quoting lines from Legally Blonde, Anchorman, and other early 00s movies at the perfect times

I believe my ancestors’ legacy of facing the impossible lives on in me.

I’m a queer, biracial, multiethnic (Creole, African American, & Slavic), chronically ill person who comes from a long line of survivors.

I exist because my ancestors faced unspeakable horrors and hardships:

My great-great-great grandfather who survived enslavement.

My dad, who grew up as a Black man in the Jim Crow South.

My countless ancestors who fled Poland and Croatia in hopes of a safer future.

Each of their stories are filled with hints and tips for finding a way through, even when the odds seem impossible.

Now it’s your turn to have me walk with you through all that feels impossible in your life.
