Anxious Attachment Therapy in Austin, TX

Online Therapy for Austin Women Who Are Ready to Stop Managing and Start Healing

Austin attracts women who are smart, driven, and usually pretty good at managing: careers, relationships, the mental load of keeping everything going. But managing is different from actually feeling good. And a lot of women I work with in Austin have been managing for so long that they've stopped noticing the cost.

The overthinking that keeps you up at night. The relationship dynamic you keep trying to fix, but never quite can. The way you can feel genuinely proud of your life and still feel, underneath it, like you're waiting for something to fall apart. These patterns are exhausting, and they're also not permanent, once you understand where they came from.

I'm a licensed professional counselor in Texas offering online therapy for women in Austin who are navigating anxious attachment, relationship anxiety, life transitions, and the lasting impact of difficult family dynamics. Sessions are virtual and flexible, so you can connect from wherever you are, no fighting traffic on I-35 required.

If so, you’re not alone — and these patterns are more common than you might think.

What This Actually Looks Like for Women in Austin

For a lot of my Austin clients, anxious attachment doesn't feel like a label, but rather a persistent anxious feeling that hovers around their relationships. It feels like refreshing their Instagram repeatedly, checking their like count. It feels like the way your stomach drops when a message goes unanswered for an hour. It feels like the slow, quiet exhaustion of being the person who tries harder, loves more openly, and still ends up feeling unseen.

Austin's culture: social, ambitious, full of people who seem to have it figured out can make this harder to name. You might look around and think everyone else has healthy relationships and a grounded sense of self, and wonder why this is so hard for you. What I see in my work is that it's not hard because something is wrong with you, it's hard because you’ve learned a particular way of being in relationships; one that made sense in your family, in your earlier experiences, and that learning is deeply engrained. Therapy goes back to where it started.

Many of the women I work with in Austin are also navigating life transitions: new careers, relationship changes, moving to the city without their usual support network, figuring out what their 20s and 30s actually look like compared to what they expected. Therapy gives those transitions real shape and meaning, rather than just more to manage.

Who I Work With in Austin and Across Texas

My Austin clients are mostly women in their mid-20s to early 40s, often high-achieving, self-aware, and surprised that knowing so much about their patterns hasn't changed them. They've read the books. They know about attachment theory. They follow the accounts. And they're finally ready to do the deeper work that actually shifts things.

A significant number of my Austin clients are adult daughters of narcissistic or emotionally immature parents. They grew up learning that their job was to manage the room: to be good, to be easy, to be what their parents needed them to be. They're remarkable people who've built a lot despite that upbringing, and they're ready to stop carrying it.

I also work with women navigating romantic relationships that feel stuck, confusing, or familiar in ways that aren't good: drawn to partners who run hot and cold, caught in cycles of conflict and repair, or simply realizing that what they've been tolerating is a pattern worth examining.

Beyond Austin, I serve women throughout Texas via telehealth including Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and anywhere else in the state.
