Starting therapy can be vulnerable and I know first hand that life is messy. It’s made up of complex, varied experiences, many of which can leave us feeling wounded, confused, or lost. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship stress, or a major life transition, therapy can help you understand the patterns keeping you stuck and build the confidence to move forward.
Areas of focus include:
Anxiety, Phobias, and OCD
I support clients in understanding patterns that maintain anxiety while building practical, evidence-based skills to manage it. Together, we work on responding differently to anxious thoughts, tolerating uncertainty, and gradually facing fears in ways that feel manageable and empowering.
Perfectionism & Identity
Many of my clients feel pressure to have everything figured out or struggle with self-doubt despite appearing capable on the outside. Together, we explore these patterns and build healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.
Life Transitions & Burnout
Whether you're feeling stuck in your career, questioning your direction, or realizing your life doesn't look the way you expected, therapy can provide a space to reconnect with yourself. Together, we'll explore your values, strengthen your boundaries, and build a life that feels more aligned with who you are.
For creatives and unconventional thinkers: If your mind is always generating ideas, overanalyzing, or questioning your next step, you're not alone. Peighton offers a grounded, collaborative space to process anxiety, perfectionism, identity, and life transitions so you can spend less energy feeling stuck and more energy building a life that feels authentic.
My Approach
My approach honors the uniqueness of each client and is grounded in compassion, curiosity, humility, and genuineness. I work with adults navigating anxiety, grief, identity questions, trauma, and relationship challenges. My work draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), existential therapy, and narrative therapy. I believe in a collaborative process—one that helps you better understand yourself while also offering practical tools for meaningful, lasting change.
Practical Tools
Insight alone doesn’t create change. I take a structured, skills-based approach to therapy, drawing from CBT, DBT, and existential frameworks. Together, we’ll build tools to manage anxiety, regulate emotions, and respond to challenges with more clarity and intention.
Meaningful Change
Our work goes beyond symptom relief. We focus on helping you build a life that feels more honest, connected, and aligned, whether that’s in your relationships, your work, or how you show up to your own life.
