An introduction…

I’m Dr. Pennington, and I help high-achieving women and millennials just like you: ones that have it within them to build confidence, embrace their authentic selves, and live with more intention, but just need the support to get there.

I help my clients find confidence, happiness, and fulfillment by equipping them with the tools they need to better understand themselves and cope with their emotions.

Oftentimes, clients come to me feeling discouraged by previous experiences in therapy because they either didn’t feel heard in the therapy room or didn’t feel like their therapist was meeting their needs. I know that your circumstances are unique, so we will work together to ensure that you are equipped with the tools you need to better handle stress and anxiety.

First, we will explore the thoughts and beliefs that are fueling your anxiety and identify any unhelpful habits that contribute to your stress. Then, we will work on recognizing your thought patterns and building healthy strategies to manage your emotions. Through our work together, you will be able to change your relationship with yourself, your thoughts, and your emotions. You are capable of making big changes, and I’m here to support you with those changes. If you are ready to do the work, you will be amazed at how much progress you can make.

I’m passionate about helping women ease their anxiety.

My training in cognitive behavioral therapy means that I have the expertise you need and deserve when confronting your anxiety. But at the end of the day, you want to know that you’re working with someone who “gets” what it means to be a young woman trying to balance academics, work, and fun in a world that can feel very chaotic at times, right?

I get it because I’ve been there and have worked with many millennials and Gen-Zers who are walking that same path of uncertainty. I know that sometimes you feel like you must be the only one who doesn’t “have life figured out,” that you feel like you are just struggling to keep your head above water, and that your mind never seems to turn off. And the thing is, you’re not alone and it doesn’t have to stay this way! When we work together, you won’t just get a licensed psychologist. You’ll get someone who truly understands what you’re going through and will be welcomed into a warm, therapeutic environment that is built on offering compassion and hope.
