Therapy for adults who feel stuck between their own needs and familial or cultural expectations.
Anxiety Therapy for Overthinkers in Colorado and Oregon
You’ve followed the expectations set by your family, culture, and community. On paper, your life looks good, but underneath, you feel anxious, disconnected, and unsure of what you really want.
I help you step out of overthinking, trust your decisions, and move forward without constant guilt or second-guessing.
You don’t have to keep choosing between being accepted and being yourself.
You’re not failing at life. You’re just following a script that isn’t yours.
When your choices start to go against what your family, culture, or community expects, it can feel terrifying.
You find yourself replaying conversations, overthinking every decision, and wondering if you’re getting it “wrong,” or if you’re betraying other people.
Life doesn’t have to stay this way. You can learn to trust yourself, make decisions with more clarity, and build a life that actually feels like your own.
How Therapy Can Help
Our work goes beyond managing anxiety. Together, we’ll focus on the emotional and nervous system patterns underneath the overthinking, self-doubt, and disconnection so you can reconnect with yourself.
Right now, your decisions may feel filtered through everyone else’s expectations, making it hard to tell what you actually want.
Both weekly therapy and intensives are designed to help you hear your own voice more clearly, trust yourself more deeply, and make decisions that genuinely fit your life.
You don’t have to stay stuck in a loop of overthinking, second-guessing, and feeling trapped by what your family and culture expect of you.
With the right support, it’s possible to feel more grounded in who you are and build a life that actually feels like your own.
Hey there, I’m Halle!
Licensed Anxiety Therapist & Soul Food Connoisseur | she/they
And unlike Halle Berry my name is pronounced “hay-lee”.
I’m the kind of therapist who knows how complicated it can feel to build a life that’s truly your own, especially when you care deeply about your culture, your family, and where you come from.
I’m not here to tell you to “just stop caring what people think,” because I know firsthand that it’s not that simple. Instead, I help you find your own path without completely abandoning the parts of your identity and culture that are most important to you (like your family’s secret recipes).
Oh, and this is Odin!
He’s my service dog and his comedic timing is impeccable. You’ll see him in the background of our online sessions.
Let’s Set The Record Straight
-
Myth
The idea that you should be able to manage anxiety by yourself (and something’s wrong with you if you can’t) is complete bullshit.
-
Fact
Anxiety isn’t something you can just “power through.” Healing happens in connection, with the right support, and in a space where you feel truly seen.
-
Moral
You don’t have to keep pretending you have it all together. You deserve therapy that actually works for you.

I can’t tell you what they’re saying because, well, confidentiality, but if you wanna check up on me, here are some publications where I’m featured:
I keep my therapy clients’ info locked down, but here’s what other therapists and educators have to say about me:

Halle offers BIPOC millennials personalized, empathetic support to help her clients move past anxiety and self-doubt, guiding them toward a more restful, confident life. I recommend her highly!

I like referring folks to Halle because I know she approaches people with a client-centered, compassionate and nonjudgemental way. There is a real need for counseling providers who create safer containers for people.

You can bring your whole self to therapy with Halle! She's an active therapist and won't just sit there silently, which is a nice change.
If you’re the kind of person who definitely has a copy of Atomic Habits but is too anxious to even start reading it, we’re gonna get along just fine.
I’m the kind of therapist who gets what it’s like to try to match society’s definition of success, while also trying to not lose your entire mind in the process.
But what’s your definition of success? That’s one of many questions I can help you answer while also making your life way more enjoyable to actually live.
Get in, you! We’re ditching anxiety.
If you’ve been personally victimized by anxiety, I’m here to help! And while I can’t hit your anxiety with a bus, I do have some other tricks up my sleeve.
