About

At Thrive and Bloom Counseling, we understand the unique challenges that come with striving to do it all — excelling at work, supporting family, serving in your ward, and still carrying the weight of perfectionism, anxiety, or obsessive thoughts. Many of our clients are high-achieving, thoughtful, and deeply values-driven, but feel overwhelmed by self-doubt, burnout, or scrupulosity (religious OCD).

Our work together focuses on helping you untangle anxious thoughts from your faith and values so you can reconnect with what matters most, without the constant pressure of “never being enough.” For those navigating questions about belief, we also provide a compassionate space to deconstruct and reconstruct faith with the support of someone who understands LDS culture.

We use evidence-based approaches such as ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), CBT, ACT, and mindfulness, while keeping compassion at the center of the process. Therapy here is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in respect for your spiritual and personal values. We don’t tell you what to believe — instead, we help you quiet the inner critic, reduce compulsive cycles, and cultivate clarity, balance, and self-trust.

We provide secure online therapy for adolescents and adults across Maryland, DC, and Virginia, offering a safe space to explore your struggles without judgment. At Thrive and Bloom, you don’t have to carry it all alone — you can step into a life that feels lighter, calmer, and truly your own.
