Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Mariah. I’m a licensed therapist who loves helping individuals navigate anxiety, hoplessness, trauma, and life transitions. I believe every person deserves a safe space to explore their emotions without judgment.

After a decade in the mental health field, I’ve discovered that lasting change grows from a safe space to share your story, practical education that empowers you, and genuine compassion that keeps you going even when life inevitably gets tough.

I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of people — including survivors of sexual assault, those who are incarcerated, individuals facing addiction, and many others. What I’ve learned is that having the right resources, along with the courage to reach out for support, can truly make all the difference. And you are here! Kudos to you.

It would be an honor to walk alongside you as you take the brave steps toward your next level.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and centered on you and your story. Together, we’ll begin by creating a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. From there, we’ll work side-by-side to craft a personalized treatment plan based on your unique goals and what you’d like to gain from therapy.

I believe psychoeducation is a powerful part of the healing process — so along the way, I’ll help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and normalize your current experiences. I also integrate practical, somatic tools to help you ground yourself in the present and gently rewire anxious or fear-based patterns.

Throughout our work together, you’ll often hear me ask: “What would you do in this moment if you felt confident?” — because my goal is to help you reconnect with your own strength, resilience, and inner wisdom every step of the way.

What you can expect from me

You can expect to leave our sessions feeling deeply heard, witnessed, and supported. You’ll also gain a clearer understanding of how your body and mind are responding to your current circumstances — whether that’s hyperarousal (feeling keyed up or anxious) or hypoarousal (feeling shut down or disconnected). From there, I’ll help you learn practical tools and techniques to gently soothe and regulate your nervous system, empowering you to feel more grounded, present, and in control outside of therapy.
