Therapy for women who are holding it all together on the outside, and running on empty on the inside.

What you're carrying isn't "just stress." And it isn't "just life."

Your Life Isn't Busy. It's Bumper-to-Bumper.

  • Waking up tired no matter how long you slept.

  • Work that won't slow down.

  • Kids who need you.

  • Grief & Life Transitions you didn't see coming.

  • Aging parents.

  • Hormones that are quietly shifting.

And the invisible one nobody names: the mental load of planning, remembering, smoothing things over, being the steady one for everyone.

When everything stacks up like this, your nervous system stops getting breaks.

That's when you wake at 3am, snap at people you love, and feel wired even when you're exhausted.

Anxious MidLife Woman

Hi, I’m Keely

I work with women who look fine on the outside and feel completely maxed out on the inside.

You're keeping kids going, caring for aging parents, holding down a career, and trying to keep up with a body and brain that suddenly have a mind of their own.

You're still the one everyone leans on, and you've quietly stopped recognizing yourself.

In my office, this looks like trauma-informed therapy that gets underneath the patterns, not just managing the anxiety, but loosening what's been holding you in it.

I see women in person in Brownsville and the Rio Grande Valley, and online throughout Austin and across Texas.

EMDR and Brainspotting both work beautifully over video, so the depth of the work doesn't change with the format.

If you've been doing the work and your old tools have stopped working, this is the kind of therapy that actually moves something, instead of just helping you cope better.

Who I Help

For capable women who've been white-knuckling it for too long.

Women Struggling with High-Functioning Anxiety:

The over-preparing. The replaying of conversations. The exhaustion of being the one who always looks fine.

Women Struggling with Trauma:

Past experiences that still live in your body, showing up in ways you don't always recognize as trauma.

Women Struggling with Grief & Life Transitions:

The losses of a special person in your life or the losses that don't always have a name (the end of a role, a relationship, a version of yourself you didn't realize you were attached to).

Women Struggling with People Pleasing, Perfectionism & Boundary Setting:

The exhausting loop of doing more, being more, and still not feeling like it's enough.

Women Struggling with Perimenopause & Menopause Anxiety:

When your hormones shift, your nervous system shifts with them. This is not just stress and it responds to a specific kind of support.

Women Struggling with Betrayal Trauma:

When trust is broken by someone who was supposed to be safe, and you're left trying to make sense of who you are now.

Featured Specialty: Perimenopause & Menopause Anxiety

Is your anxiety getting worse in your: 30s, 40s or 50s?

There's a biological reason, and it has nothing to do with how resilient you are.

Perimenopause disrupts the same neurotransmitter systems that regulate anxiety, the same systems targeted by anti-anxiety medication. Many women arrive here after years of managing well, suddenly finding that the tools that always worked have stopped working. The sleep is off. The patience is shorter. The 3am thoughts won't stop. And HRT, if you're on it, hasn't fully fixed it.

This is one of my primary areas of clinical focus. I am a BRIA Menopause Mental Health Provider and I bring both research-grounded training and personal experience to this work.

I also offer 360° coordinated care, with your permission, I'll communicate directly with your OB-GYN or other providers so your mental health and medical care are working together, not in separate silos.

When 50 minutes isn't enough.

For the thoughts that keep looping no matter how much you've talked about it, a 3-hour focused intensive, with integrated follow-up, moves what weekly sessions can't. Best for trauma, betrayal, grief, and relational wounds.

You don't have to keep just barely hanging on, hoping that it gets better.

A 15-minute call is enough to know if this feels right. No pressure, no commitment, just a real conversation about what you need.
