You keep choosing the same type of partner—emotionally unavailable, dismissive, or just not quite there. Or you've become a mom and love your baby, but you don't recognize yourself anymore and feel guilty for feeling this way. Maybe your life looks fine from the outside, but inside you feel anxious, exhausted, or like you're going through the motions. If you're tired of surface-level advice and want to understand why you keep ending up in the same patterns, I can help. I specialize in depth-oriented therapy that gets to the root of things—not just managing symptoms.
I help women stop repeating the same cycles and create lasting change. My clients are tired of quick fixes. I help clients understand the roots of their struggles—why you choose unavailable partners, why motherhood feels harder than expected, why patterns repeat. I'm UT Austin-trained with specialized certification in perinatal mental health.
Most therapy focuses on coping strategies. I focus on understanding why you're drawn to certain partners, why boundaries feel impossible, why you can't shake anxiety even when life looks good. We explore how early relationships shaped you, what patterns you're repeating, and how to change them. This requires honesty and patience, but creates lasting change.
