Your mind won't stop.

From the outside, you look like you have it handled. But your inner world tells a different story.

Your mind runs through every what if. You replay conversations long after they're over. You carry the pressure to succeed, to show up for everyone, to never fall behind.

And you're ready for it to feel different. If this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.

Hi, I'm Alaysia

You don't have to keep carrying it alone. You've spent so long being the one who holds everything together that it can be hard to imagine another way.

Therapy with me is a place to slow the noise down, make sense of what's underneath the overthinking, and build real tools, not just talk about the problem.

Our work together is warm, genuine, and collaborative. And for clients who want it, there's room to bring your faith into that process too.

My Approach Centers Both Mind and Pattern

You might notice yourself replaying conversations, planning for every outcome, or holding yourself to a standard no one else could meet. Overthinking often feels like it's keeping you safe. But it also keeps you stuck.

My approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help you notice the patterns driving the worry, build real tools for regulating it, and create space between the thought and the reaction.

Just as important as the technique is the relationship we build along the way. Real change happens in a space where you feel genuinely known.

Specialty Areas

Thought Work: Reframing & Negative Self-Talk

Anxiety often sounds like a harsh inner voice, all-or-nothing thinking, and mental traps that convince you the worst outcome is the likely one. We work to catch those thoughts as they happen, challenge what they're telling you, and reframe them into something more true.

Overwhelm: Goals & Sustainable Self-Care

When everything feels like too much, self-care can feel like one more thing on the list. This work breaks overwhelm into pieces you can actually manage and builds self-care that's sustainable, not another task to fail at.

Motherhood: Identity & Pouring Into Yourself

Motherhood can mean disappearing into everyone else's needs. This work makes space to reconnect with who you are outside of caretaking, and to pour into yourself again.

Young Adult Transitions

College, career shifts, and the pressure to have life figured out can leave you feeling behind. This is space to get honest clarity on what you actually want.

Our first conversations are about getting to know you, what's bringing you to therapy right now, and whether we're the right fit.

02

We Build the Roots

We slow down and get curious about the patterns driving your worry, so we can build tools that actually stick.

03

You Grow Stronger

Over time, clients notice less noise, more clarity, and a stronger sense of trust in themselves.
