Women’s Anxiety Therapy in Texas
Are you ready to put an end to overthinking and second- guessing everything you do?
I help anxious, deep-feeling women quiet the noise and begin to trust themselves, possibly for the first time ever.
Therapy is the space where you’re not caretaking or thinking of other people’s needs before your own. We’ll gently untangle the shame, self-doubt, and invisible weight you’ve been carrying for far too long.
When Worry Won’t Turn Off
You’re doing everything you can to hold it all together—but inside, there’s a constant hum of anxiety that never fully quiets. Lots of times, it feels like the worry just keeps piling up, right?
Maybe it shows up as overthinking—spiraling thoughts, second-guessing, preparing for every possible outcome. Or maybe it’s in your body: the racing heart, the tension in your jaw, the tightness in your chest that makes it hard to fully relax. You might look calm on the outside, but your mind is always on alert. You might wonder why life looks so much easier for other people.
Anxiety is more than just worry.
It’s the feeling of being constantly behind. It’s the pressure to do more, be better, show up perfectly—while trying not to fall apart. It’s overcommitting, people-pleasing, and then lying awake at night replaying conversations and wondering if you upset someone.
You might feel scattered and overwhelmed by the smallest decisions, or find yourself stuck in patterns of procrastination, avoidance, or perfectionism. You try to push through, but you’re exhausted. It’s not that you don’t care—it’s that you care so much, and it’s wearing you down.
You're Not Alone
Anxiety is incredibly common, especially for women. We’re often taught to be the caretakers, the fixers, the emotional anchors. We’re taught to be polite, agreeable, competent, and likable—sometimes at the cost of our own peace. And for many women, anxiety isn’t loud or dramatic—it’s quiet, hidden behind a smile and a packed schedule. Holy cow, it’s exhausting!
Sometimes, anxiety is shaped by past experiences—family expectations, trauma, or dynamics where you had to stay small to stay safe. Sometimes, it’s wired into how your brain processes the world. If you’re neurodivergent—if you’ve ever wondered about ADHD, autism, or sensory sensitivity—your anxiety might stem from constant overstimulation, masking, or feeling out of sync with the world around you.
Whether it’s rooted in your history, your wiring, or your current circumstances (and it’s often a mix), it’s real—and you don’t have to keep managing it by yourself.
Now Imagine:
waking up without fear of spiraling
being able to make decisions without agonizing over them for days and weeks
setting and holding boundaries with people who used to (or always have!) ignored them
being able to feel your emotions without being scared that they are going to take over and spill over into your interactions with other people
learning what your needs are and that your needs matter too. That’s important, so I’m going to repeat it: your needs matter.
That version of you isn’t a fantasy. She’s already in there. She’s just waiting for a little space, support, and the right tools to emerge.
Let’s talk about what support could actually look like.
Life doesn’t have to be this hard, I promise
Anxiety, overthinking, people pleasing….all of these things take a whole freakin’ lot of energy. But there’s a different way. You can wake up with a quiet mind and feel strong in yourself and your decisions. You’re no longer second-guessing every decision or over-explaining yourself. You feel calm in your body, confident in your choices, and connected to people who see and respect the real you.
You still care deeply. But now you know how to care for yourself, too, and you don’t feel guilty about it. Yay!
Hi, I’m Janet
I help anxious women untangle the weight of self-doubt, shame, and old survival roles so they can finally feel seen, supported, and whole. My approach is trauma-informed and compassionate. Surface-level coping is important, but that’s one small part of therapy. Our work together is about creating safety in your body, clarity in your mind, and connection in your relationships.
Many of my clients grew up in homes where there was no space for their needs, wants, and feelings. They learned to survive but weren’t able to build that self-trust and love that is hard to live without as an adult.
Therapy is the place you finally get to take up as much space as you want and need. Finally. (Your inner child has been waiting for this.)
Together we’ll build a sense of self that isn’t based on what you give, but on who you truly are.
What life could look like…
You are aware of your usual worries and learn how to untangle them so big emotions don’t hold you hostage
We’re going to seriously unpack your worries and anxiety so that we understand them and know what fuels them. We’ll develop strategies and nurture mindsets that take a lot of the sting out of those constant worries. Some anxiety may have roots that go way back, and we’ll gently and compassionately address these situations so that they lose a lot of their power. When you start to worry, you’ll know what to do about it, so it doesn’t take all your energy.
You know what you’re boundaries are and how to communicate them to others. And what to do when others don’t listen.
Some anxiety and worry can be eliminated by getting clear on your personal boundaries and limitations. Limitations sort of have a bad rap, but they aren’t bad; I promise! We’ll work with you consistently to help you take care of your needs and communicate your boundaries to others in a positive, non-reactive way. And because some people don’t cooperate, we’ll address how to deal with others when they just won’t pay attention. And we’ll definitely address the guilt that comes with saying no and putting an end to people pleasing. You’ll be able to express yourself without worrying about the fallout.
You don’t mind hanging out with friends because, hey, you’re happy with the life you’re living, not embarrassed or forever stuck.
Living with anxiety limits you in so many ways. You may stop doing things you really want to do because of fear, or you stay in relationships that your friends beg you to get out of. You may feel like others are moving forward, and you are stuck in the same old place. But once you start this process, change happens. And eventually, you may start to notice that you have new things to share with your friends. You actually feel the change happening on the inside, and it starts to affect the small decisions that make up your life. You have energy to think about fun stuff, not just surviving.
You feel like your mind and body are actually your friends, not your mortal enemies out to ruin your life.
Okay, that may sound dramatic, but man, it can seriously feel this way.
So many clients desperately want peace when they first start therapy. Some people have never even experienced peace. Along with working on untangling your anxiety webs, we’re going to find ways to build mini-peace moments into your day. More importantly, you’ll find yourself feeling more peaceful as you work through some of the big things you’ve unintentionally been holding on to, such as shame, guilt, and so much fear.
If you’ve tried therapy before and just aren’t sure…
If you’ve been to therapy before and walked away feeling misunderstood, or like you had to keep parts of yourself or your life hidden, you’re not alone. It can be hard to find someone you click with.
And maybe you’ve been told by others (people close to you, even) that you’re too sensitive, too much, too emotional. Or maybe you were told to toughen up. You may have tried telling others how you felt just to be shut down, ignored, or made to think that you’re really the problem. You may even feel like you’re just making a big deal of nothing. So, yes, it totally makes sense that asking for help feels hard.
Here’s the truth: you have never been broken or weak. You were adapting, surviving. Making it work in a world that didn’t make space for your needs. And that is hard and lonely, and can really make you question yourself. And it can make it really hard to change these patterns once you are older.
And that can make therapy feel scary, too.
But the really great thing about therapy with me is that you actually do get to bring all of you–the embarrassing parts, the strong parts, the scared parts, the parts that you are ashamed of–all of them, so they can be met with compassion, not criticism. You’re story is not too much for me. The things you’ve had to do to survive, that’s okay, too. I’m here for all of it.
We move at your pace because you call the shots. We make meaning of what’s felt twisted, invisible, or even vague and hard to put into words. We’ll laugh, and there will probably also be tears. But you’ll have someone with you, which is where the magic happens. And it will take time, but session-by-session, you’ll build something new from the inside out.
Research has shown that the therapeutic relationship you have with your therapist is the most important factor in making therapy effective. My clients stick around for the long haul; we work together so healing can happen.
While I can’t share specific things clients have said because of confidentiality, I can share the gist of what my clients experience due to treatment.
They feel safe sharing things they’ve never told anyone.
They have ah-ha moments that help them see their struggles differently and finally move forward.
They figure out how to relate to the people in their lives who used to drain their energy and leave them feeling off-kilter.
Parents I work with are grateful to have support, that they’re no longer trying to figure everything out alone.

One of the reasons I became a therapist was to be able to help my clients just as I was helped by my own therapists. And to avoid the things that made me want to say buh-bye to therapy sessions altogether.
You may have tried therapy and were disappointed with the results. (What results?!?)
Maybe you felt judged or completely invalidated.
Maybe it felt like a bad fit — like no one really understood how your mind works or what you’re struggling with.
Maybe it went too fast, and you didn’t feel safe.
Maybe it felt so slow you wondered if anything would ever change.
Here’s why this time might be different…
Our work together is very intentional. We pay attention to the content of your life, but we also pay attention to what works and doesn’t work in our sessions together. We talk about how therapy feels as we go. There is intentional time to regroup and make changes. We adjust. You get to have a say in what happens here, because this is your time.
Still wondering if you should take a chance?
Consider This…
Sometimes it’s hard to know where to start.
But if you don’t start somewhere, it’s hard to get where you want to be.
If you keep waiting for something to force you to change, your life may be the same next year as it is today.
And it doesn’t have to be.
Ready for your days to feel different?
There’s a version of you who’s been waiting for someone to say: “You don’t have to keep doing this alone.”
She’s the part of you who still hopes, who still wonders if she can heal, and who wants a lot more than just getting by.
And maybe she’s angry.
Angry that no one showed up. Angry that she had to hold so much for so long. Angry that the world and her family didn’t give her the care she deserved.
That anger makes sense. It’s part of the story. And therapy is one of the few places where that is allowed ot be explored.
You can become your own genuine best friend. Cheerleader. Advocate. Ideal Mom. Loyal girlfriend who reminds you how great you really are, even in your worst moments.
Let’s do this.
