Anxiety & Overwhelm Therapy for Adults in Texas
You don't need another list of coping skills.
Maybe you understand your anxiety logically, but your mind and body still feel like they're always “on.” You may have tried calming yourself, changing your thoughts, or figuring out why you feel this way—without actually feeling much different.
My approach focuses less on giving you more things to manage and more on understanding what's happening underneath the anxiety, so you can spend less time fighting yourself and develop a different relationship with what you're experiencing.
When Your Mind Won't Turn Off
Anxiety isn't always obvious panic or constant worry. Sometimes it's overthinking conversations, anticipating what could go wrong, feeling responsible for other people's reactions, or needing to figure something out before you can finally relax.
It can show up physically, too—tension, restlessness, overstimulation, feeling keyed up or unusually aware of what's happening in your body. You might be highly sensitive to your environment or other people's moods, or find yourself overwhelmed by things you think you “should” be able to handle.
You may even look completely fine from the outside while internally feeling like you're working really hard just to keep everything manageable.
A Different Approach to Anxiety
I don't see anxiety as something that's simply malfunctioning and needs to be shut down. Our minds and nervous systems learn from experience, and the patterns you're stuck in often make more sense when we understand what they're trying to do for you.
Instead of only asking, How do I make this stop?, we'll get curious about what's happening underneath it. We'll notice patterns between your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and body, and work with what comes up rather than treating every uncomfortable feeling as something that needs to be fixed.
The goal isn't to never feel anxious. It's to feel less controlled by anxiety and more able to trust yourself when it shows up.

What It's Like to Work With Me
My style is warm, conversational, and collaborative. I'm an active therapist, so I'll ask questions, reflect things back to you, help you notice patterns, and offer another perspective when it might be useful. You don't have to come to therapy knowing exactly what to talk about or having already figured yourself out.
I tend to work especially well with people who are thoughtful, self-aware, sensitive, and sometimes really good at overanalyzing themselves. If you already understand a lot about why you feel the way you do but that understanding hasn't necessarily changed how it feels, we'll make room for that, too.
I draw from nervous system-informed and somatic approaches, parts work, mindfulness and self-compassion, along with traditional talk therapy. There's no rigid protocol to follow and therapy doesn't need to become another thing you're trying to do perfectly.

You feel overwhelmed easily or have trouble settling after stress.
You're sensitive to emotions, relationships, your environment, or what's happening in your body.
You understand your anxiety but still feel caught in the same patterns.
You're tired of constantly trying to manage or “fix” how you feel.
You want a therapist who is engaged, curious, and collaborative.
If some of this sounds familiar, you don't have to be completely sure about therapy—or about working with me—before reaching out. We can start with a free consultation, talk a little about what you're looking for, and go from there.
