Trauma-informed Therapy for Adults and Teens in Texas
Anxiety
Do you find yourself stuck in a loop of worry, replaying conversations, second-guessing decisions, or feeling anxious about what’s ahead? Maybe your thoughts race without a clear reason, and your body responds with a tight chest, shallow breath, or a pounding heart. It’s exhausting to feel like you’re always bracing for something.
You’re not alone in this. Therapy can help you slow down, understand what’s underneath the anxiety, and begin to feel more grounded in your day-to-day life.
Depression
Some days feel heavy. You might wake up already tired, wondering if things will ever feel different. Maybe you’ve lost interest in the things that used to bring you joy, or you feel disconnected from the people around you. It can feel like you’re going through the motions, unsure of how to shift out of the fog.
Therapy offers a space to reconnect with yourself, your emotions, and your sense of purpose. Healing doesn’t mean pretending everything’s okay; it means finding your way back to what matters.
Emotion Regulation
Do your feelings sometimes feel too big to hold, or too hard to name? Maybe you’ve been told you’re “too sensitive” or that you need to “get it together,” but inside, it’s chaos. You might feel overwhelmed, shut down, or unsure how to express what’s really going on.
Therapy can help you make sense of your emotional world and learn how to respond to it with compassion. It’s not about fixing your feelings—it’s about learning to live with them in a way that feels safe and empowering.
Trauma
Maybe something happened that changed the way you see yourself or the world. You might feel stuck in the past, hyper-aware of your surroundings, or disconnected from your body. Trauma can show up in ways that are hard to explain—but you know something isn’t right.
Healing from trauma doesn’t mean forgetting—it means reclaiming your sense of safety, agency, and connection. Therapy can help you begin that process, gently and at your own pace.
Eating Disorders & Body Image
Do you feel caught in a cycle of rules, guilt, or shame around food and your body? Maybe you’ve spent years trying to control how you look, only to feel more disconnected from yourself. You might find that thoughts about eating, appearance, or weight take up more space than you’d like—and it’s exhausting.
These struggles often run deeper than food or body image alone. Therapy can offer a space to explore what’s underneath, begin healing the relationship you have with your body and food, and move toward a way of living that feels more peaceful, embodied, and free.
Identity & Self-Esteem
Do you sometimes feel unsure of who you are or question your worth? Maybe you’ve learned to shape yourself around others’ expectations, leaving you feeling disconnected from your own voice. You might struggle with self-doubt, comparison, or feeling like you’re never quite “enough.”
Therapy can help you reconnect with your values, explore your identity, and build a more compassionate relationship with yourself. It’s not about becoming someone new—it’s about remembering who you’ve always been and learning to trust that you’re worthy just as you are.
Connection
As humans, we have all experienced a range of emotions throughout our lives, despite our different backgrounds. Our busy schedules don't always allow us enough time to rest, relax, restore, and enjoy ourselves and those around us. We often struggle to find time for ourselves, set boundaries, and enjoy well-deserved breaks outside of school or work. This takes a toll not only on our bodies but our brains!
I understand what it's like to feel constantly worried about things outside of your control. I also know what it feels like to feel hopeless and question whether everything seems worth it. I believe that my own lived experience is a tool to facilitate deeper connections and empathy within the therapeutic relationship, and I would be honored for the opportunity to guide you toward unlocking the answers that I know are already within you. Together, we can create a life that allows you to thrive and find joy again. Reach out today to learn more.
