Whether you need Bipolar management or narcissistic abuse recovery, we regulate your system.
Welcome! You’re here because you or your partner is hurting. Whether you’re dealing with "Big T" traumas like abuse or "little t" traumas like feeling repeatedly rejected, a part of us gets stuck when the "no-good-dirty-rotten-thing" happens. But you don’t have to stay there. I help you escape the grip of trauma, depression, and complex challenges like Bipolar disorder or navigating narcissism. We hold pain in our bodies as tension—a physical echo of a nervous system that doesn’t feel safe. It no longer has to dictate how you love, parent, or work. I am here to help you move forward into the life you deserve.

My background includes providing therapy in private practice and university settings, treating eating disorders, anxiety, OCD, mood concerns, personality disorders and substance use.
Hi, I’m Beatrice! I help adults, college students, and teens with eating disorders and body image concerns, anxiety and OCD, perfectionism, self-esteem, and trauma. Many of my clients are used to looking like they’re holding it together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed by overthinking, intrusive thoughts, shame, avoidance, or rigid patterns underneath it all. They’re often looking for support that feels both compassionate and practical. I’m an LMSW in Texas, supervised by Jennifer Lancaster, LCSW-S, and I offer an affirming space where all bodies, backgrounds, and identities are welcome and where you can show up as you are.

Waitlist for new clients
Therapy is a partnership that grows in an atmosphere of safety and acceptance. It allows one to rediscover the parts of selves which may have been disowned; to learn new skills to handle grief and distress; to build healthier, more nurturing relationships; and to gain access to one's own direct experience of the world. I nurture this collaboration with clients and recognize that within each of us there exists a deeper wisdom that, given adequate support, naturally moves toward healing and integration.

Counselor, MA, LPC

Sometimes people get stuck, and despite their best efforts nothing seems to change. Stuck might mean a relationship that is problematic, sadness that is not lifting, or fears that are not going away. Have you ever felt you have tried everything you can, and nothing seems to be working? Calling a therapist might be the first step in getting un-stuck and moving toward something new. I create a safe and comforting place for people to say whatever it is they need to say, and to work together on practical strategies for problem areas in their lives.

People think you have it all - the education, the career, the carefully curated appearance. But secretly, on the inside, you're exhausted from the constant effort of trying to hold yourself together — and still feeling like you're falling apart. You're haunted by obsessive thoughts, shame-charged memories, and a harsh inner critic who says you must be absolutely perfect no matter the cost. You keep your feelings and needs to yourself, convinced that they would expose the truth about you or burden your loved ones. You're not even sure who the real you is anymore, or if you ever really knew them.

Personality Disorders Therapists
What are the common treatment options for personality disorders?
Personality disorders are typically treated with psychotherapy, sometimes in conjunction with medication. Therapy can help people with personality disorders develop skills to tolerate difficult emotions, navigate interpersonal relationships, and solidify their sense of self. Medications can treat symptoms that co-occur with the disorder, such as depression, anger, aggression, and impulsivity.

When to seek treatment for personality disorders?
Even though treatment for personality disorders can be an uphill battle, it’s best to seek help if you suspect that you or a loved one is struggling with one, because personality disorders can create substantial problems in life. Symptoms depend on the specific disorder, but overall signs of personality disorders include consistent difficulty maintaining close relationships, dramatic variations in self-esteem, and an unstable sense of identity.

How long does therapy take for personality disorders?
The timeline for treating personality disorders isn’t as clear-cut as it is for other disorders. Change can be difficult, taking from around one year to five, 10, or more. The key is finding a therapist who has extensive experience treating the relevant disorder. For example, a psychologist who specializes in narcissistic personality disorder has specific communication strategies that allow them to sustain the relationship and be more effective with narcissistic patients.

Can therapy help people with personality disorders?
Research suggests that for those who are motivated to address concerns or interpersonal conflict related to a personality disorder, therapy is far more effective than no treatment, and that most people in therapy see improvements. However, since personality disorders involve entrenched elements of identity, they are less responsive to treatment than are other mental health conditions. Finding an expert who has extensive experience working with a given personality disorder is one factor that increases the likelihood of successful treatment.
