*Couples in crisis- I see you. You’re at your wits end and ready to jump ship. Stop by my specialty couples page before scrolling any further. I have a separate and special message for you. You are wrestling with some big decisions. I’d like to help you figure it out.*

You’ve checked off the major milestone boxes. You’ve made a decent life for yourself. But it’s not enough.

People would be surprised to know how much you’re struggling internally. That’s because they don’t notice the panic attacks, the insomnia, and the inability to relax. Your anxious thoughts seem to have a mind of their own, especially at night. Staying busy sometimes keeps the negative thoughts and difficult emotions away but it’s getting harder to keep everything contained. Survival mode is your default setting.

You are The Achiever, The Fixer, The Good Girl. You’ve spent your entire life taking care of others and sometimes you’ve parented your own parents. You keep hoping that people will learn to treat you the way you treat them but things aren’t getting better. You dream about living with healthy boundaries, like honoring your limits or saying “no” when you don’t want to do something. Over functioning is like breathing- you do it even when you don’t realize you’re doing it. You resent this but don’t know how to break the cycle.

You find yourself overthinking, checking, constantly seeking validation, or doing other things to try and push away the anxiety. This works for a short time until you’re triggered again. Your need for control is exhausting you.

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Carrollton, Texas. I help women manage their anxiety and OCD and reclaim their lives after trauma. I also help disconnected couples rebuild their relationship. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for individuals, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples. I provide a treatment plan that’s unique to each client because one size does not fit all. Sessions are in-person and virtual.

Your insomnia, hypervigilance, panic, and fatigue are letting you know that it’s time to make a change and fight for you. Therapy can be a great opportunity to:

learn reliable coping skills for anxiety and OCD

identify and change unhealthy relationship patterns

rebuild your emotional connection with your partner

heal from unprocessed trauma

stop choosing people who don’t choose you

find your voice

learn how to set boundaries

Through weekly sessions for 6-9 months, I will learn who you are, how you got here, and help you discern where you want to go. We will discover the rigid, outdated, unhelpful beliefs about yourself, others, and the world that are blocking you from the life you want to live. I will provide a gentle push for you to make those small changes that lead to big life transformations.

Change is often messy, sometimes scary, and frequently inconvenient- it won’t be easy. And it might be uncomfortable to look at the things that you’ve buried a long time ago. But I’ll be there with you, encouraging you to keep going. You deserve peace, love, joy, connection, and belonging- these things are your birthright.

You don’t have to keep googling, “Should I go to therapy”, or, “Is therapy right for me?” I offer a FREE, 15-minute virtual consultation for those who need more information. During consultation, you can ask me questions about my approach, my style, and how I structure a typical session. I will also ask you to tell me a little about yourself to make sure that your goals and my specialties are aligned. Reach out today- I’d love to hear from you!
