Helping ambitious women quiet their inner critic & feel like themselves again
If you’re here, there’s a good chance you’ve been holding it all together on the outside while your mind runs nonstop on the inside.
Maybe you can’t turn your brain off, no matter how tired you are. Maybe you feel like you need your friends’ opinions before making even the smallest decision. Or maybe you worry that if you finally put yourself first, people won’t like you anymore.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
I know how overwhelming it feels to carry the weight of expectations, your own and everyone else’s. Growing up, I was often told I was “too sensitive,” and I felt like my emotions were too much for others to handle. When I finally went to therapy as a teenager, I experienced something different: validation, safety, and the relief of being able to show up as myself without judgment.
That experience shaped me. It showed me what’s possible when women have a safe place to process their feelings, stop shrinking themselves, and trust their own voice. It’s why I became a therapist, and why I now specialize in supporting ambitious women, you know, the perfectionists, overachievers, and people-pleasers who are tired of carrying it all on their own.
I’m also child-free by choice, and I know firsthand how heavy it can feel to navigate cultural and family expectations when your life doesn’t look like everyone else’s. My practice is a place where you don’t have to explain yourself, apologize, or hide your truth.
You deserve to feel calmer, more confident, and more connected to yourself, and therapy can be where that starts.
Hi, I’m Kylie!
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s in Social Work from North Carolina State University and a Bachelor’s in Psychology from Duquesne University. I’ve been working in the mental health field since 2015, supporting adolescents, adults, and families in both group and one-on-one therapy. In 2022, I opened my private practice to focus on what I love most, helping ambitious Millennial and Gen Z women feel calmer, more confident, and more connected to themselves.
As a therapist who is also child-free by choice, I know how heavy it can feel to navigate cultural expectations, family pressure, and those “so… when are you having kids?” conversations. My clients often come to me because they want a safe space where they don’t have to explain their choices, apologize for their feelings, or keep pretending they’ve got it all together.
To help, I use a blend of evidence-based approaches: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindful self-compassion, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP). But I also bring in my own framework, the Decide & Thrive Method, which gives us a simple roadmap:
Recognize the pressures and patterns shaping your experience
Integrate your emotions with compassion instead of judgment
Strengthen your boundaries and self-trust
Embrace your truth with confidence, freedom, and joy
Together, we’ll create a safe space where you feel understood and supported while also learning tools that actually fit your life. My goal is simple: to help you stress less, trust yourself more, and feel grounded in the life you’ve chosen.
When I’m not in sessions, you’ll usually find me traveling with my husband, chasing snow for winter getaways, curled up with my Kindle, or listening to Taylor Swift on repeat.
Virtual therapy that gets what you’re going through
-
Maybe it’s a big career change, a tough breakup, family pressure, or just one too many “so when are you having kids?” comments. Whatever the activation, I’m here to help you process what’s coming up and give you tools to feel grounded again, instead of stuck in the same cycle of overthinking and self-doubt.
-
If you feel like you’re constantly editing yourself to keep the peace, saying “yes” when you mean “no,” or leaving conversations replaying what you should have said, you’re not alone. Together, we’ll practice ways to communicate clearly, set boundaries with confidence, and stop carrying the guilt that comes with putting your own needs first.
-
You probably give everyone else in your life patience and kindness, but when it comes to yourself, that voice can be relentless. I’ll help you quiet that critic and learn how to treat yourself with the same compassion you give others. Using mindful self-compassion and CBT tools, we’ll build a softer, kinder inner voice so you feel more supported from the inside out.
-
It’s exhausting to field questions about when you’ll “finally” have kids or feel like your choices make you the odd one out among friends and family. Whether you’re confident in your decision to be child-free or still sorting through it, therapy gives you a space where you don’t have to explain yourself. Together, we’ll work on letting go of guilt, trusting your own voice, and finding confidence in the life you’re creating.
