How I Can Help

I provide individual therapy for adults and adolescents ages 16 and older. Sessions are available in person in Fort Worth and Benbrook and through telehealth across Texas.

People often seek therapy because one area of life feels difficult. As we begin talking, we may discover that anxiety, relationships, past experiences, physical changes, expectations, and self-confidence are all affecting one another.

Therapy gives us room to understand the whole picture.

Anxiety and Feeling Overwhelmed

Anxiety does not always look like panic. It may look like overthinking, irritability, perfectionism, difficulty making decisions, trouble resting, or feeling responsible for keeping everything under control.

You may know that your worries are excessive but still find it difficult to turn them off.

Therapy can help you understand what drives your anxiety, calm your nervous system, respond more effectively to uncertainty, and spend less of your life anticipating what might go wrong.

Life Transitions and Identity Changes

Even welcome changes can unsettle us.

College, career changes, marriage, divorce, parenting, an empty nest, caregiving, retirement, midlife, perimenopause, menopause, and aging can all raise questions about identity and direction.

You may find yourself wondering:

  • Who am I in this stage of life?
  • What do I want now?
  • Why am I having such a hard time with this?
  • How do I care for other people without losing myself?
  • Is it too late to make a change?

Therapy can help you make sense of what is shifting, grieve what you are leaving behind, and move forward with greater clarity.

Eating Disorders and Complicated Relationships With Food

You do not have to look a certain way or meet a particular stereotype to deserve help with eating.

Your relationship with food may involve restriction, binge eating, emotional eating, rigid rules, guilt, body dissatisfaction, or a constant mental calculation of what you should and should not eat.

I work with adolescents and adults across the spectrum of eating disorders and disordered eating. Treatment is individualized and may include collaboration with a dietitian, physician, or other members of your healthcare team when appropriate.

The goal is not simply to change what you eat. It is to help you develop a safer, more peaceful relationship with food, your body, and yourself.

Depression and Feeling Disconnected

Depression may feel like sadness, but it can also appear as exhaustion, irritability, numbness, withdrawal, or the sense that you are simply going through the motions.

Together, we can explore what is contributing to the way you feel and begin making changes that support greater connection, energy, meaning, and hope.

Relationships, Caregiving, and Boundaries

Sometimes the problem isn’t one relationship — it’s the role you have learned to play in many of them.

You may be accustomed to taking care of other people, keeping the peace, anticipating what everyone needs, or feeling responsible when someone else is unhappy.

Therapy can help you understand these patterns, communicate more directly, set healthier boundaries, and care about the people in your life without losing yourself in the process.

ADHD, Focus, and Executive Functioning

Attention difficulties affect more than productivity. They can influence confidence, relationships, emotional regulation, time management, and the way you see yourself.

Therapy can help you better understand how your brain works, develop realistic strategies, and separate genuine areas of difficulty from years of self-criticism.

Trauma and Painful Experiences

You do not have to describe an experience as traumatic for it to continue affecting you.

Past experiences may show up through anxiety, avoidance, emotional reactions, body sensations, negative beliefs, or patterns in present-day relationships.

Talk therapy, EMDR, and ART can help you process these experiences and reduce the degree to which the past continues to shape the present.

What Our Work May Include

Depending on your needs, therapy may help you:

  • Understand your emotions and what they are communicating
  • Recognize patterns that no longer serve you
  • Build practical coping and communication skills
  • Set healthier boundaries
  • Become less reactive and more intentional
  • Develop greater self-trust
  • Make decisions that reflect your values
  • Feel more at peace with yourself

You do not need to know exactly what kind of therapy you need before contacting me. We can begin with what is happening now and decide together what may be most helpful.
