If you're carrying the weight of depression, anxiety, or a past you haven't been able to fully
process, you don't have to figure it out alone. With more than five years as a Licensed Clinical
Social Worker, I work with adults and seniors who are ready to make sense of what they've been
through and start moving toward the life they want to build.
I have a particular passion for working with people navigating mood disorders like bipolar disorder,
trauma and PTSD, and the kind of emotional challenges men often face but rarely talk about. I also
work with couples who want to strengthen their connection before things fall apart.
I help individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, and overwhelming life stressors. I help people who look fine on the outside yet feel misunderstood and alone with battles no one sees. They wonder if their “normal” really hides trauma and sense that burying feelings can only last so long. In therapy, we give those hidden struggles a voice, make sense of the chaos, and build skills that help them take back control. Some of the most common concerns voiced in therapy are, “I don’t feel listened to,” “I struggle to communicate my thoughts,” and “I’m about to give up.” These thoughts carry emotional pain rooted in past hurts. To cope, many have learned to disconnect from their feelings just to survive.
It’s exhausting when your own mind feels like a hurdle. Maybe you’re navigating intrusive thoughts that feel impossible to shut off, or you’re struggling to get things done and remember what’s important while your brain feels like it’s constantly misfiring. Perhaps you’re grieving a version of yourself that felt certain, watching the life you planned get derailed by chronic illness or the weight of a diagnosis you didn’t ask for. When your "to-do" list feels like a mountain and your past keeps creeping into your present, it’s easy to feel lost or, worse, dismissed by the people who are supposed to help.
I’m Dr. Pearson, and I draw on over 30 years of counseling experience helping individuals, couples, marriages, families, teens, children, and organizations work through life’s challenges. I support clients dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, anger, relationship issues, family conflict, addiction and alcohol concerns, military-related stress, and major life transitions. My background includes working with people across many stages of life, including active-duty military members, veterans, DoD staff, military families, couples preparing for marriage, families under stress, and individuals seeking healthier ways to live at home, at work, and in their relationships. I believe therapy should offer hope, practical support, and a clear path toward healthy change.
