About the therapist
Hi, I’m Princess Spikes, a licensed therapist supporting individuals who feel overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out, or emotionally stuck.
I believe therapy should feel human, collaborative, and supportive—not clinical or intimidating. My role is to offer a space where you can slow down, talk openly, and begin to understand yourself and what you need with more compassion.
Many of the people I work with are navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, substance use, personal growth, or simply feeling like they’ve lost their way. You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Sometimes, recognizing that you want something to change is enough.
I work at a pace that feels right for you. There’s no pressure to have the perfect words or figure everything out on your own. We start where you are and work together toward where you want to be.
My Training & Experience
I am a licensed therapist with training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and relapse prevention. My work is trauma-informed, collaborative, and rooted in compassion.
I regularly engage in continuing education and professional development to ensure my practice remains ethical, effective, and responsive to the needs of the adults I support.
Why I Became a Therapist
I’ve always been drawn to listening beneath the surface to what’s left unsaid, the patterns we repeat, and the ways we learn to cope.
Like many people in their 30s, I’ve witnessed how modern life asks us to move quickly, hold everything together, and keep going even when we’re exhausted. Over time, this can leave us disconnected from our emotions, our needs, and our sense of self.
Becoming a therapist felt like a natural extension of this understanding. I wanted to create the kind of space I believe we all deserve; one where you don’t have to perform, explain yourself perfectly, or rush your healing.
How I Work
My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-aware.
I believe therapy works best when you feel emotionally safe. This means we move at your pace, check in regularly, and stay curious rather than critical about what comes up.
Our work together may include:
Gently exploring thoughts, emotions, and past experiences
Noticing patterns and coping strategies that no longer serve you
Learning grounding tools to support your nervous system
Making sense of emotional responses with compassion
Some sessions may feel reflective and quiet. Others may feel clarifying or emotionally releasing. There’s no right way for therapy to look.
What Matters to Me in the Therapy Room
I care deeply about creating a space that feels:
Safe and non-judgemental
Calm and steady, especially during difficult moments
Honest, without being overwhelming
Respectful of your boundaries and autonomy
You are always in control of what we talk about. My role is to support, not direct.
Who I Work With
I work with adults who may be experiencing:
Anxiety, overthinking, or emotional overwhelm
Burnout and chronic stress
Low self-esteem or self-criticism
Relationship or attachment difficulties
Life transitions, identity shifts, or motherhood changes
A sense of feeling lost, stuck, or disconnected
You don’t need to have everything figured out. Therapy can be a place to slowly make sense of things together.
If you’re considering therapy, you don’t need to be certain or ready to commit long-term.
A free consultation offers a chance to ask questions, get a feel for how I work, and see whether it feels like the right fit for you.
You’re very welcome to reach out when it feels right.
