On the outside, you're handling it.
You show up for work, for family, for everyone who counts on you. Most people would never guess anything is off.
- You're tired in a way rest doesn't fix.
- Your mind keeps running long after the day is done.
- Something from the past still shows up in the present.
- You carry more than you say out loud.
- You're at a crossroads and not sure what comes next.
If any of this sounds familiar, you don't have to sort it out alone.

In their own words.
"Accelerated Resolution Therapy was amazing! No more bad dreams. Thank you! I'm also no longer nervous about going out anymore!"
"Thank you for the session. Consequently, I had a great time with my family and was not triggered at all!"

Hi, I'm Anne.
I'm a therapist in Southlake, TX, and I've been a counselor for more than 25 years. I'm a CBT therapist at heart. That means practical tools you can actually use between sessions.
Most of the people I work with are women who are carrying a lot and holding it all together.
When something from the past is still running the show, I also use EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy. My favorite part of this work? The day a client is ready to graduate.

Fees and insurance detailsCommon questions.
Don't see yours? Send me a note.
How many sessions will this take?
It's different for everyone. Some people feel better after a few sessions, others benefit from longer support. We'll set goals together and check in regularly to make sure therapy is working for you.
What's your availability?
I see clients Monday through Thursday, 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., in person and online. You can see open times on the online calendar. The office is closed Friday through Sunday, so weekend messages get a reply early the next week.
Do you think you can help me?
That's exactly what the consultation is for. We'll talk about what's going on and what you're hoping for, and you'll get a feel for whether working together makes sense. No pressure either way.
Do you take insurance?
I'm an out-of-network provider, so I don't bill insurance directly. I'll give you a superbill you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. HSA and FSA cards are accepted.
Do you offer online sessions?
Yes. I see clients in person at my Southlake office and online for anyone located in Texas.
What is the first session like?
It's a chance for us to get to know each other. I'll ask about what brings you in, your goals, and any relevant history. You'll have time to ask questions too. My goal is a space that feels safe, supportive, and free of judgment.
Ready when you are.
Pick a time online for a free consultation. If nothing fits, I'll reach out within 1 to 2 business days.
