Less time stuck in your head. More time living your life.
Hi, I’m Stephanie, therapist and owner of Rise and Thrive Counseling, LLC.
I work with anxious, overthinking women who are tired of feeling like their minds are always “on.” You may be someone who does a lot for others and appears capable on the outside, while internally you're replaying conversations, second-guessing decisions, worrying about what others think, or trying to anticipate what could go wrong.
Maybe you struggle with perfectionism, people-pleasing, guilt, boundaries, intrusive thoughts, or uncertainty. Maybe you simply feel mentally exhausted from thinking about everything and you're ready to feel more present in your own life.
Therapy with me is a space to slow down, feel understood, and make sense of what's happening beneath the surface. Together, we'll explore the patterns that keep you stuck while developing practical ways to help you:
- Create space from anxious thoughts instead of getting pulled into every “what if.”
- Build self-trust and make decisions without needing complete certainty.
- Set boundaries without letting guilt make the decision for you.
- Respond differently to perfectionism, people-pleasing, and overwhelm.
- Make more room for what matters: your relationships, goals, interests, rest, and joy.
I'm compassionate, collaborative, and willing to gently challenge you when it helps you grow and develop insight.
The goal isn't to eliminate every anxious thought or uncomfortable feeling. It's to help you stop organizing your life around them.
