Through darkness we find our
Light
If you're here, you're probably tired of trying to hold everything together on your own.
You feel deeply.
You care deeply.
You think constantly.
And sometimes, it all becomes too much.
Maybe you're:
overwhelmed by your own thoughts
stuck in patterns you can't seem to break
unsure which voice in your head to trust
exhausted from looking "fine" when you don't feel fine
trying so hard to be enough, and never feeling like you are
And even if no one else sees it — you feel it.
Here, you don't have to pretend, push through, or figure it out alone.
This is a space where your inner world makes sense, your feelings matter, and we move at your pace…
gently, compassionately, together.

"For there is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it.
If only we’re brave enough to be it."
- Amanda Gorman
Hi, I'm Dr. Missy — and my role is to help you feel more grounded, understood, and connected to yourself.
In therapy with me, you won't be expected to have everything figured out. This is a space where you get to slow down, breathe, and be honest about what's weighing on you — without judgment, pressure, or the need to perform.
Everywhere else in your life, someone has expectations for you — parents, teachers, coaches, friends, even the version of you that lives in your own head. But here, my only expectation is that you show up as yourself. No masking. No acting "fine." No fear of being shamed or lectured.

What you can expect in our work together:
%20(1).png){kind=small}
understand your emotions instead of feeling overwhelmed by them
quiet the self-doubt that keeps you stuck
build confidence in your voice and decisions
navigate stress, anxiety, or ADHD with clarity
set boundaries that honor your needs
trust yourself and the choices you make
I use a gentle combination of mindfulness, emotional literacy work, and my IRULE framework, which helps you make sense of big feelings in a compassionate, grounded way. You'll learn to understand where your emotions come from, what they're trying to tell you, and how to cope in ways that feel supportive instead of overwhelming.
You don't have to do this alone. When you're ready, I'm here to walk with you as you reconnect with your light, your strength, and the parts of yourself you've learned to hide.
Believing in you,
Missy
How I Can Help
You deserve a space where your feelings make sense, where you don't have to hold everything together, and where you can finally breathe.
Here are some of the things I help teens and young adult women navigate:
What Working Together Feels Like
A space where you can finally *breathe*
_edited.png){kind=small}
Working with me doesn't feel like showing up to an appointment where you need to look put-together or say the "right" things.
It feels more like this:
Soft blankets.
Comfy clothes.
A warm drink in your hands.
The quiet relief of finally being able to drop the mask.
Because you don't have to have it together to come to therapy.
You don't have to show up energized, or confident, or even hopeful.
You just have to show up as you.
Messy hair, overwhelmed brain, tender heart — all welcome.
Come exactly as you are
Some weeks, you might sit cross-legged in your room with your laptop balanced on a pillow.
Other weeks, you might log in from your car, your couch, or wherever you feel safest that day.
You're allowed to be tired.
You're allowed to feel unsure.
You're allowed to say, "I don't know where to start."
There is no pressure here to perform or hold it all together.
Just honesty, gentleness, and slow, steady grounding.
What our sessions actually feel like
You don't have to be "fine" to start
Calm
We slow things down so your nervous system can breathe.
Real
No small talk, no pretending — we talk about what's actually going on inside.
Collaborative
You are the expert on your life. We figure things out together.
Compassionate
You'll never be judged for your feelings, your thoughts, or the ways you cope.
Empowering
Little by little, you'll learn to trust yourself, understand your emotions, and make choices that honor who you are.
If you feel lost, overwhelmed, or unsure of who you're "supposed" to be,
this can be a gentle place to start.
You don't need to know yourself perfectly.
You don't need to have the words yet.
You bring your real, unpolished self.
I'll bring the steadiness and guidance to help you learn what your feelings are telling you.
Together, we'll gently uncover who you are beneath the pressure, the expectations, and everything you've been carrying. Not the version of you others wanted — the version that's been quietly waiting to be seen and validated.
And you'll always be met with gentleness as you grow.

You're in the right place if...
You are a teen or young adult woman who:

.png){kind=small}
overthinks, analyzes, and second-guesses yourself more often than not
wants support that feels gentle, grounding, and collaborative — not clinical or cold
feels overwhelmed by anxiety, pressure, or expectations — even when you're not sure anymore whose expectations you're trying to meet
feels things deeply, even when you try not to
struggles with self-doubt or a loud inner critic
mistakes her sensitivity for weakness, even though it's actually one of the most powerful and compassionate parts of you
wants to understand your emotions instead of fighting them or being confused by them
craves a space where you can slow down, breathe, and be honest — without having to pretend
tends to consider everyone else's feelings before your own
often feels like you're "too much" or "not enough"
— sometimes both at once, depending on the day.
If that sounds like you... you are exactly who I help
This is a space where you don't have to perform, stay "strong," or hold it all together.
Just come as you are — messy, unsure, tender-hearted, hopeful, or anything in between.
You're welcome here
When you're ready, we can take the next step together
You don't need to have the right words or a clear plan.
Just bring yourself — tender-hearted, overwhelmed, hopeful, or anywhere in between.
