Individual Therapy for Women in Schertz, Texas
You may be used to holding everything together while feeling anxious, disconnected, or exhausted underneath. Therapy offers space to move beyond coping and begin addressing the deeper patterns shaping your life.
I provide trauma informed therapy for adult women in Schertz and the surrounding Northeast San Antonio area, with sessions available in person and via telehealth across Texas.
Concerns I Commonly Work With
-

Anxiety, Overwhelm & Burnout
You may feel constantly on edge, overthinking decisions, or unable to fully relax. Even when life looks stable, your body rarely feels calm.
Together, we work toward helping your mind and body settle so life feels steadier and more manageable.
-

Emotional Reactivity & Nervous System Overload
Small stressors can feel disproportionately intense. You may wish you could pause before emotions take over or respond without so much internal fallout.
Together, we work toward responses that feel more grounded and intentional rather than automatic.
-

Overfunctioning & Perfectionism
You are often the responsible one, the capable one, the one who keeps everything moving. Your worth may feel tied to productivity, competence, or being needed.
Together, we slow the cycle of overdoing and create space for rest, softness, and enoughness.
-

People Pleasing, Boundaries, & Identity Shifts
You may adapt to others’ needs or keep the peace at your own expense. Over time, it can become difficult to know what you actually want or need.
Together, we strengthen boundaries and reconnect with your own voice.
-

Emotional Numbness or Disconnection
You might feel like you are going through the motions, disconnected from your emotions or from the people around you. Feeling deeply may seem either overwhelming or distant.
Together, we support reconnection so emotions feel tolerable and meaningful rather than overpowering.
-

Trauma & Long-Standing Stress Patterns
Sometimes it was a single event. Sometimes it was years of subtle stress or instability that shaped how you learned to cope.
Together, we carefully process what continues to influence you so the past no longer dictates the present.
Healing from trauma is not about fixing what is broken. It is about reconnecting with the parts of you that had to work overtime to survive and helping your system feel safer and more supported..
Therapy here is steady, collaborative, and grounded. We focus on building emotional capacity so deeper work feels contained rather than overwhelming.
A Steady Beginning
We begin by strengthening regulation and stability so your nervous system feels supported. You do not have to dive into everything at once.
Deeper Exploration
As trust builds, we gently explore beliefs, emotional responses, and experiences that continue to shape how you relate to yourself and others.
Meaningful Change
The goal is not simply insight. Together, we work toward lasting shifts in how you regulate, connect, and live.
What Therapy Looks Like Here
Approaches I Use
Therapy integrates evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs and paced thoughtfully so deeper work feels steady and contained.
-
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a trauma therapy approach that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they feel less intense in the present. It can reduce triggers, intrusive thoughts, nightmares, and body-based anxiety responses.
EMDR is used carefully and at a pace that supports your stability and daily life.
-
Parts work, informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), helps you understand the different parts of yourself that protect, carry pain, or feel stuck. Instead of fighting these parts, we work toward understanding their role and building internal trust.
This approach supports deeper healing by helping you relate to yourself with clarity and compassion.
-
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are integrated throughout therapy to strengthen emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and grounding. These tools help create stability so deeper trauma work feels steady and contained.
-
Healing happens within a safe and attuned relationship. Therapy here is collaborative, structured, and grounded in trauma-informed principles.
We move at a steady pace, focusing not just on insight, but on meaningful shifts in how you regulate, relate, and live.
