Therapy for anxiety & stress in TX and CO
You’re doing your best to hold it all together—but it’s starting to take its toll.
On the outside, you may look like you’re managing just fine. You’re showing up for your family, fulfilling your responsibilities, staying professional at work, and keeping everything moving. But inside, it feels like there’s a constant buzz of tension—one more demand, one more conflict, and it might all come undone.
Or maybe things have started slipping. You keep running late, missing deadlines, forgetting commitments. It’s not what you want. It’s not who you are. But you just can’t break the cycle.
So much is going on in your mind. Maybe you’re replaying a conversation over and over in your head, wondering if you said the wrong thing. Maybe you’re snapping at your kids even though you promised yourself you wouldn’t. Or maybe you’re lying awake at night, feeling your heart race as your mind runs through the next day’s to-do list.
Anxiety can look like agitation or irritability, but it can also show up as perfectionism, politeness and constant pressure to keep everyone happy. And sometimes it’s more subtle—a tightness in your chest, a racing mind, or a sense that you’re just not showing up as the person you want to be.
WHY IT FEELS SO HARD TO TURN IT OFF
When you’re constantly managing everything and everyone, your nervous system never really gets to rest—it’s as if the “on” switch is stuck. You may try to push through—telling yourself to calm down, take a deep breath, or think more positively—but it never seems to last.
That’s because anxiety isn’t just about stress in the present moment. It’s often tied to old messages about who you need to be in order to stay safe, loved, or in control. When those beliefs get triggered, your body responds strongly and the uneasy tension, the constant questioning- it just won’t go away.
How I can help
Creating Real Change. Together.
Anxiety doesn’t have to run your life—or your body. In our work together, we’ll do more than manage symptoms. We’ll uncover and reprocess the patterns, memories, and beliefs that keep you from moving forward.
Because anxiety looks different for everyone, your therapy should, too.
We’ll collaborate closely to understand what’s helped you in the past—and what hasn’t—and use that insight along with my experience and training to shape an approach that’s tailored to you. The goal is to create change that not only works, but lasts.
As your nervous system begins to settle, you’ll find yourself thinking more clearly, having space to think instead of going on autopilot. and showing up as the version of yourself you’ve been trying so hard to reach.
This work goes deeper than coping —it helps you finally feel like you’re living, not just holding everything together.
Here’s what we’ll do together
Therapy can help you calm the noise and create change.
In our work together, you’ll begin to:
Understand your anxiety — recognize when it shows up, what it’s connected to, and what your body is trying to tell you.
Regain a sense of control — learn to respond to stress with calm and clarity instead of reacting on autopilot.
Ease the mental load — quiet the constant overthinking and self-criticism that keep you feeling stuck.
Set healthy boundaries — protect your time, energy, and relationships without guilt.
Stop being so hard on yourself — begin relating to yourself with kindness, not judgment.
Make the right changes — identify and reprocess the beliefs that keep you anxious, perfectionistic, or on edge.
Feel like yourself again — grounded, present, and able to handle life’s ups and downs without feeling overwhelmed.
Together, let’s quiet the noise and help you feel steady—calm in your body, clear in your mind, and confident in yourself again.
Questions? I’ve got answers.
Frequently asked questions —
-
If you’re often tense, restless, irritable, or find it hard to slow down your thoughts, anxiety may be part of what’s happening. You don’t have to have panic attacks for anxiety to be real or worth addressing.
-
That’s more common than you might think. Many of my clients come to me after feeling frustrated by therapy that only offered coping tools without real relief. EMDR and trauma-informed therapy help get to the root of what keeps anxiety stuck so that change feels lasting.
-
Yes. I provide both in-person sessions in Allen, TX, and secure online therapy throughout Texas and Colorado. Many clients appreciate the flexibility of being able to shift between online and in-person sessions as life requires.
-
Yes—calm is absolutely possible. It doesn’t happen overnight, but with the right support, your nervous system learns to relax and your mind learns to trust that you’re safe.
