Therapy for those who constantly overthink, carry too much emotional responsibility, and struggle to feel secure in relationships.
"Why do I always feel like I did something wrong?"
If that question feels familiar, you may find yourself replaying conversations, seeking reassurance, or feeling responsible for keeping everyone around you happy. It can feel like you're constantly trying to prevent conflict, avoid disappointment, or make sure others are okay while your own needs quietly get pushed aside. I specialize in helping people understand the deeper relational patterns underneath anxiety, emotional overwhelm, self-doubt, and disconnection.
About Me.
I’m a relational trauma therapist providing individual and couples therapy for adults navigating anxiety, relationship stress, and patterns shaped by past experiences. My work focuses on helping clients who feel responsible for others, struggle with boundaries, or find themselves stuck in cycles of overthinking and self-doubt.
I integrate approaches such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and somatic therapy to help clients better understand their internal patterns and how those patterns show up in relationships. Rather than focusing only on symptom relief, therapy is centered on building clarity, emotional stability, and more sustainable ways of relating to yourself and others.
Crown Counseling offers virtual therapy for clients in Texas and Oregon.
Who I Help
I work with adults navigating anxiety, relational trauma, and relationship patterns that feel difficult to change.
You may find yourself constantly aware of how others are feeling, adjusting what you say, trying to prevent conflict, or taking responsibility for things that aren’t fully yours to carry. On the surface, this can look like you’re thoughtful and put-together. Internally, it often comes with overthinking, second-guessing, and a pressure to get things right.
You might replay conversations after they happen, question whether you did something wrong, or feel unsettled even when nothing is clearly “off.” Setting boundaries can feel uncomfortable or guilt-inducing, and it may be hard to trust your own reactions in relationships.
Many of the clients I work with have experienced relational trauma patterns shaped by earlier relationships that continue to show up in how they think, feel, and respond today. Therapy focuses on helping you understand these patterns more clearly so you can begin to feel more grounded, less reactive, and more confident in how you navigate your life and relationships.
How Therapy Can Help
Therapy is not about “fixing” you or forcing yourself to stop feeling anxious, emotional, or overwhelmed. Many of the patterns people struggle with like overthinking conversations, shutting down during conflict, people-pleasing, emotional hypervigilance, difficulty trusting yourself, often developed for important reasons.
Together, we work to better understand the underlying experiences and relational patterns shaping these responses while helping you build a stronger sense of emotional safety, self-trust, and connection.
Over time, therapy may help you:
-
feel less emotionally reactive or overwhelmed
-
stop replaying interactions constantly
-
communicate needs more clearly
-
feel more grounded during conflict
-
develop healthier relationship patterns
-
reconnect with your own emotions and identity
-
feel safer being authentic in relationships
-
reduce the pressure to constantly monitor others
-
Stop Asking "What If" or "Are you mad at me?"
My approach is collaborative, reflective, and paced intentionally so therapy feels supportive without staying at the surface level.
