Dr. Rue PLLC
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Do you feel like you’re always keeping it together on the outside, even when everything feels overwhelming inside? Maybe you’ve achieved so much, but the constant pressure to do more and be more never lets up. Do you find yourself replaying past experiences or carrying the emotional weight of things you thought you’d moved on from? Perhaps you’re caught in patterns like saying “yes” when you’re exhausted, avoiding conflict, or struggling to feel like you’re truly enough, no matter how much you do. These are the effects of trauma and high-functioning anxiety, and they can leave you feeling stuck and disconnected.
I specialize in helping individuals with high-functioning anxiety, trauma, grief, and self-doubt. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT and ACT, I help clients break free from patterns that no longer serve them and create space for healing and growth. Together, we’ll challenge the beliefs that keep you feeling overwhelmed, build tools to manage stress, and reconnect you with your own needs and goals.
Therapy is more than just talking; it’s about real, actionable change. If you’re ready to stop surviving and start thriving, let’s connect. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation today, and let’s work together to create a life where you feel calm, confident, and whole.

Kristina Peck
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Let’s be honest—life is hard. Messy, beautiful, overwhelming, and at times downright ridiculous. If you’re struggling (like most of us are at some point), you deserve a space that feels safe, supportive, and—believe it or not—a little bit lighter.
I’m a seasoned therapist who brings clinical expertise and a human touch. That means evidence-based approaches grounded in years of experience, paired with humor, compassion, and real talk. I believe in validating your experience while gently helping you shift what’s not working.
Therapy with me isn’t about judgment—it’s about connection. I create a space where you can exhale, show up exactly as you are, and start untangling what’s holding you back. I normalize the human condition because, well, we’re all just trying to get through this thing called life. Let’s do it together—with insight, laughter, and a whole lot of heart.
