Anxiety & trauma therapy for women in Waco, Texas.
Therapy for the woman who holds it together for everyone except herself.
Are you a women who feels anxious, or overwhelmed by life? I get it. Many of the women I work with are extremely capable, and can manage everything, but are extremely hard on themselves. They’re tired. Tired of the worry, tired of the constant thoughts….tired.
Maybe relationships feel confusing or emotionally draining. Maybe you’ve spent years adapting to others and don’t know who you are anymore. What you’re feeling makes sense. You don’t have to keep up the picture perfect image while falling apart inside. Anxiety, people-pleasing, and self-doubt often come from patterns your mind and body have developed to protect you, but it’s not working anymore.
Hi, I’m Joy.
If you have constant worries, racing thoughts, or don’t feel like yourself, I’m here to help.
Many of my clients come to therapy because they can’t relax, or are overwhelmed by life. Therapy with me is a safe place to finally put words to what’s been happening inside your mind and body. We’ll pay attention to patterns, stress responses, and the ways your mind and body have learned to cope over time. If needed, we will use EMDR to process traumatic, painful memories.
My approach is compassionate, caring, and collaborative. It’s not a one size fits all type of therapy. I care about creating a space that feels supportive where change happens and you can feel better about yourself and your life.

Feel like your thoughts just won’t slow down
Want to heal past wounds that keep replaying in your mind
How we can work together
If anxiety, self-doubt, or trauma responses have been affecting your daily life, there are a few ways we can begin working together depending on what feels right for you.
Some people prefer ongoing weekly therapy for steady support and deeper processing over time. Others benefit from more focused, structured intensives when they’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for a reset in a shorter amount of time.
Both options are grounded in the same approach: understanding your nervous system, working with patterns that keep you stuck, and helping you feel more grounded, calm, and connected to yourself again. The best starting point depends on your needs, your pace, and what feels most supportive right now.
Areas of support:

For when you want focused, deeper support in a shorter time frame. These extended sessions help you slow down, understand what’s going on beneath the surface, and leave with practical tools and clarity.
