You work harder than anyone you know. So why do you still feel stuck?

There's a reason you feel this way—and there's a way out.

Your nervous system learned to seek safety through control—Your brain isn't broken. It's just using strategies that no longer serve you.
I specialize in helping high-achieving people in California and Colorado break free from OCD, anxiety, and the exhausting need for control.

This isn't surface-level coping—this is deep, nervous system-level healing that helps you finally feel at peace in your own body

"Why do you care so much?"

Does this sound familiar?

You have intrusive thoughts that confuse you—thoughts about mistakes you’ve made, about harm, about being a bad person, about things going wrong. You try to push them away, try to rationalize why they’re not true, but they keep coming back. And you start to wonder: Am I actually a fraud? Am I fundamentally messed up?

You’ve developed routines that help you feel more secure. Maybe you count. You check. You clean. You ask other people for their opinions, just to be sure. There’s a part of you that knows it’s excessive, but another part of you feels like if you don’t do it, the anxiety will become unbearable.

You care deeply about what other people think. Although you’re incredibly capable, there’s a part of you that constantly feels like you’re not measuring up. You say yes to more than you really want to because the idea of disappointing someone feels unbearable.

And yet, you also feel a lot of resentment. Why does everyone always ask me to do everything? Can’t other people step in? But you don’t know how to say no without feeling guilty.

Your body hurts. Maybe it’s migraines, IBS, chronic fatigue, hair loss, autoimmune symptoms. You sense there’s some connection to stress, but you’re not sure how to make it stop.

You’re not broken. You’re not weak. You’re not “too much.”

Your anxiety, your compulsions, your perfectionism—they all made sense once. They have even been praised. But now they’re keeping you from the very thing you want most: to feel genuinely at peace, to trust yourself, to just… be.

WHAT MAKES CULTIVATE HEALING DIFFERENT

This isn’t another coping strategy. This is real healing.

Most therapy focuses on managing symptoms—teaching you breathing exercises, challenging your thoughts, white-knuckling your way through anxiety.
That’s not what we do here.

At Cultivate Healing, we go deeper. We work with your nervous system. We help you release compulsive behaviors, rewire how your body responds to stress, and learn to trust yourself again.

I specialize in treating:

OCD

Anxiety that won’t turn off, no matter how hard you try

Trauma and childhood wounds that still show up in your adult life

Perfectionism that’s exhausting you and keeping you from being present

My approach combines:

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to process trauma and rewire your nervous system

IFS (Internal Family Systems) to understand the different parts of you and why they developed

ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) to break free from compulsive behaviors

Somatic work to help you feel safe in your own body again
