Individual Therapy for Trauma &
Emotional Abuse in Texas
You don’t have to keep carrying this alone. If you’ve been feeling exhausted, disconnected, or like something inside you just isn’t right anymore, even if you can’t explain exactly why, that’s enough reason to start. You don’t need a perfect explanation. You don’t need to have hit rock bottom. You just need to be ready to take one step. Individual therapy is a space where you can finally say the things you’ve been holding in and have someone help you make sense of them.
Who I Work With
I specialize in working with women who are healing from emotional and psychological abuse, trauma, and the kind of pain that other people don’t always understand. My clients are often:
• Women who are in or just leaving a confusing, controlling, or emotionally abusive relationship
• Survivors of narcissistic abuse who are trying to rebuild their sense of self
• Women who grew up in homes where emotional safety wasn’t guaranteed, and those patterns are showing up now
• Survivors of domestic violence who are ready to move beyond survival
• Women dealing with anxiety, depression, or complex trauma, often without a clear single "cause"
• Moms, professionals, and women juggling multiple roles who feel overwhelmed and
unseen
You don’t have to fit neatly into any of these categories to reach out. If something on this page is speaking to you, that matters.
What We Work on Together
Every person I work with comes in with something different. But there are themes I hear over and over. If any of these sound familiar, we’re probably a good fit:
• "I don’t trust my own judgment anymore."
• "I keep replaying what happened and I can’t stop."
• "I feel anxious all the time, but I can’t always explain why."
• "I’m so tired of surviving. I want to actually feel good."
• "I know what happened to me was wrong, but I still feel like it was my fault."
•"I don’t recognize myself anymore."
These aren’t just feelings. They’re symptoms of what trauma and abuse do to a person’s nervous system, self-worth, and sense of reality. They’re also things that can get better with the right support.
My Approach to Therapy
I’m warm, direct, and real. I’m not going to sit back and silently nod while you talk into the void. I’m also not going to push you faster than you’re ready to go. My approach draws on evidence-based methods including:
• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): for processing trauma that’s stuck in the body and mind
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): for reshaping the thought patterns that keep you feeling stuck
• Solution-Focused Therapy: for building on your strengths and moving toward the life you actually want
• Mindfulness techniques: for learning to stay grounded when things feel overwhelming
I tailor every session to what you actually need that day. Sometimes that means digging into hard things. Sometimes it means slowing down and building tools first. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here.
What to Expect
Your First Session
We’ll start with a free 15-minute consultation to make sure we’re a good fit. If we decide to move forward, your first full session will focus on getting to know each other. I’ll ask questions, you’ll share what feels right, and we’ll start to build a picture of what you’re working with and where you want to go. You don’t have to have your story perfectly organized. You don’t have to know what’s “wrong” with you. Just show up.
Ongoing Sessions
Sessions are typically 53 minutes and happen weekly, especially at the start. Over time, we’ll adjust the pace based on your progress and needs.
Fees & Insurance
Standard rate: $150 per 50-minute session. I offer a sliding scale based on household income for those who need it. Sliding scale spots are limited. I currently accept Aetna insurance. For other plans, I can provide a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement. See the full fee breakdown on my FAQ page.
