Mind Over Mountains

At Climbing Hills Counseling, I provide virtual therapy for high-achieving women in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or weighed down by self-doubt despite appearing capable and successful. Mind Over Mountains is a supportive space for women navigating perfectionism, motherhood, and chronic mental load, offering grounded, evidence-based counseling to help you reconnect with a more authentic, regulated sense of self from the comfort of your home.

Each post is written with you in mind, offering compassionate guidance, evidence-based strategies, and practical tools to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered.

Take a breath. You do not have to climb alone. This is your place to pause, reflect, and keep rising at your own pace.
