Anxiety & trauma therapy for women in Waco, Texas.
Therapy for the woman who are used to pushing through, even when they're struggling.
Are you a woman who feels anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted? I get it. Many of the women I work with are capable, caring, and hardworking. Whether they're navigating school, careers, relationships, family responsibilities, or major life transitions, they often put enormous pressure on themselves to keep going. Beneath the surface, they're exhausted from the worry, the overthinking, and the feeling that they have to figure everything out on their own. 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.
I help women who feel anxious, overwhelmed, and stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Together, we'll explore what's happening beneath the surface, make sense of the ways your mind and body have learned to cope, and help you feel more like yourself again.
I use EMDR therapy when appropriate to help process painful experiences and reduce the hold they continue to have on your life today.
Therapy with me isn't about fixing you. It's about understanding what happened, recognizing the patterns that developed along the way, and creating lasting change with compassion instead of self-criticism. I know reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, and therapy with me is a space where you can show up exactly as you are.
You might be a good fit if you:
Constantly overthink conversations or decisions
Feel responsible for everyone else's needs
Struggle to relax, even when nothing is wrong
Hold yourself to impossibly high standards
Worry about disappointing others
Feel stuck in patterns rooted in past experiences
Want to feel calmer, more confident, and more connected to yourself
How we can work together
Whether you're looking for ongoing support or a more focused approach, we'll find an option that fits your needs.
Some women benefit from weekly therapy, where we can explore patterns, process experiences, and create meaningful change over time. Others find that an intensive provides the dedicated space they need to work through a specific challenge, move through a stuck point, or make significant progress in a shorter amount of time.
Both options are grounded in the same compassionate approach: helping you understand your nervous system, make sense of the patterns that keep showing up, and feel more calm, connected, and confident in your daily life.
