Finding the right therapist is about more than credentials--it's about finding someone you can actually talk to. At Solid Ground Counseling & Wellness in Cedar Park, I offer therapy that is genuine, thoughtful, and down-to-earth. I'll listen, but also ask you questions, help you notice the patterns that are easy to miss when you're in the middle of them, and gently challenge you when it's helpful. My approach to counseling for anxiety, difficult relationships, and trauma is compassionate without feeling overly clinical, so you can understand yourself better and make changes that actually fit your life.

Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
- Multicultural Therapy Acknowledges the role of culture, race, and identity in mental health. It values diversity and adapts treatment to each person’s background.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
Approach Description: I don't believe therapy should be one-size-fits-all. My approach is eclectic, which means I draw from several evidence-based therapies and tailor our work to you, rather than expecting you to fit neatly into one method. Depending on what you need, our sessions may include CBT and DBT skills to work with thoughts, emotions, and behaviors; EMDR to process trauma and painful experiences, IFS to better understand the different parts of yourself; and solution-focused strategies to build on what's already working. My work is also grounded in person-centered and multicultural approaches, recognizing that your experiences, relationships, culture, identity, and environment all shape how you move through the world. Most sessions blend elements from more than one approach, with the goal of helping you understand yourself more deeply while also giving you practical ways to create meaningful change in your everyday life.

You may have a good life on paper and still know something isn't working. Maybe you're overthinking conversations, second-guessing yourself, feeling guilty when you say no, or noticing the same frustrating patterns showing up in your relationships. You don't necessarily need someone to tell you to practice more self-care---you want to understand why this keeps happening and what to do differently.
Solid Ground Counseling & Wellness provides counseling in Cedar Park, Texas for women navigating anxiety, difficult relationship patterns, perfectionism, boundaries, people-pleasing, and the lasting effects of painful or complicated experiences. My approach is warm, conversational, and practical. Therapy isn't about judging the choices you've made or telling you how to live your life. It's a place to get curious about the patterns you've developed, understand what may be underneath them, and figure out what actually works for you.
I believe good therapy should feel human. You can expect compassion and support, but also thoughtful questions, honest conversations, and a little humor when it fits. The goal isn't to become a completely different person. It's to feel more comfortable about being yourself--and more confident making choices that reflect what you actually want and need
