Therapy for REAL Change
Online Therapy for Complex Trauma, Relational Trauma, CPTSD, and Attachment Wounds in Austin, Texas and Dallas, Texas
Healing trauma and building secure attachment.
Helping you move from unhelpful patterns to understanding, growth, and living as your true self.
You’re Tired. Like Soul-Deep Tired.
The big “T” traumas. The little ones. Early (and mid… and maybe even recent) traumas. They’ve left their mark.
And on top of it all, you might be navigating trauma that comes simply from existing as you.
From your skin color, immigration experience, gender identity, who you love.
The daily “thousand cuts” of oppression—and the deeper wounds, too.
You’ve learned to carry it all. Alone.
To over-function, over-give, over-manage—because depending on others has never felt safe.
But now, the cost is catching up.
You feel overwhelmed. Stretched thin. Lonely.
You keep thinking,
“It’s too much.”
“I don’t know if I can keep doing this.”
You long for ease.
For relationships that feel good.
For someone to finally say, “You don’t have to carry this alone.”
This is therapy for that.
The kind of change that doesn’t just scratch the surface—but gets to the root of it.
Let’s find a new way forward, together.

Are Complex Trauma and Attachment Issues Impacting Your Relationships?
Does any of this sound familiar?
You want connection—but you worry that you can never truly trust someone else.
You’re always the one who picks up the slack—at work, in relationships, in your family. And still, you feel unseen. Disconnected. Alone in what you’re carrying.
You struggle to set boundaries, afraid it’ll be “too much” for others.
You get stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break—heaviness, shame, self-doubt. The unshakable feeling that something’s wrong with you.
And in quiet moments, the questions creep in:
“Why do I always end up here?”
“What’s wrong with me?”
In therapy, you’ll learn how to shift those patterns.
To trust yourself—and others.
To create relationships that feel balanced, reciprocal, and truly safe.
Where you don’t just hold others—you’re held, too.
Complex Trauma Impacts Your Relationship with Yourself, Too
On the outside, you’re the strong one.
On the inside? It’s a swirl of overthinking, anxiety, and self-doubt.
You question every decision.
You put everyone else first.
You have a hard time even knowing what you need—let alone asking for it.
And when it comes to asking for help, receiving support, or even just resting—you feel guilty even thinking about it.
That constant internal hum of “not enough” never really quiets.
Imagine instead…
Starting your day feeling grounded.
Making choices that feel right for you.
Speaking with clarity. Resting without guilt. Trusting yourself.
That version of you? It’s real. And therapy can help you get there.
Oppression Makes It All Even Heavier
You’re not just managing your past—You’re also carrying the weight of systems that were never built for your thriving.
Racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, ableism—these aren’t just “issues.”
They’re lived realities. And they shape how safe, supported, and seen you feel in the world.
You’ve had to adapt, armor up, and shrink yourself just to survive.
In therapy, we hold the full picture:
Your trauma and your brilliance.
Your survival strategies and your dreams for something better.
Your identity, your history, your resilience—all of it.
Together, we’ll gently untangle it and create space for something new.
Trauma Doesn’t Stay in the Past—It Shows Up Now
You’ve started noticing it.
The way your body tenses, even when you know you’re safe
The way you shut down, even if someone is being kind.
The way you second-guess your own feelings.
You’ve read about attachment, trauma, and how the past can shape the present. Maybe you’ve started to see the connections between your experiences and your current struggles.
You’re not broken.Your body adjusted to help you survive. But you aren’t there anymore.
Now it’s time to rewire for living.
In therapy, we’ll explore what’s happening in the moment.
You’ll learn to ground, soothe, and shift.
Not just understanding, but healing your nervous system.
What if life could be different?
Instead of feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, you navigate them with compassion and understanding. You feel at home in your own skin, secure in your ability to create a life that’s fulfilling and true to yourself.
You start to notice small, powerful shifts: moments where you laugh freely with a friend, feel proud of yourself for speaking up at work, or sit with a difficult emotion and come out stronger on the other side.
This kind of change isn’t a fantasy.
It’s slow, real, doable—and it starts with one brave step.
Hi, I’m Annie. I help people who’ve carried too much for too long. Together, we’ll make sense of your experiences—your trauma, attachment style, and the impact of oppression and societal systems on your well-being—and how they’re shaping your present struggles.
Using gentle, trauma-informed approaches, I’ll provide tools to help you manage tough moments, build self-compassion, and create relationships that feel supportive and deeply connected. You don’t have to carry this alone anymore.
My approach is rooted in both understanding and action. We’ll work at a pace that feels safe to explore the deeper “why” behind your patterns, and practical tools and strategies that help you navigate daily life with more confidence and ease.
You don’t have to carry this alone anymore.
This work isn’t easy, but it’s worth it.
Healing trauma and attachment wounds takes time and patience. Together, we’ll connect the dots between what you’ve experienced and how it’s affecting your life now. We’ll honor these patterns as survival strategies and help you move toward a future that feels like your own.
You don’t have to have it all figured out before you start. We’ll go at a pace that feels right for you, building safety and trust along the way (that’s part of the work!). Over time, you’ll begin to see how small changes create a ripple effect in your life, leading to deeper transformation.
Together, we’ll create a space where you feel understood—where your voice matters, your emotions are valid, and your healing is possible.
If you’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t work, I get it.
It’s frustrating to invest time and energy in something that leaves you feeling unseen or unchanged. Maybe you’ve been told to “just let it go” or felt dismissed when you tried to share your experiences. Or maybe you were in therapy before and it helped for a while, but eventually, you hit a ceiling and are ready to go deeper this time.
Healing requires more than surface-level solutions. It takes a deep understanding of your story—both the pain you’ve carried and the strengths you’ve built along the way. That’s the space we’ll create together, one where growth feels both achievable and sustainable.
This is for you if…
You’re ready to break free from the patterns of your past and build a life that feels authentic and balanced.
You want to feel less anxious, more confident, and better equipped to handle life’s challenges.
You long for relationships where you feel seen, valued, and supported.
Let’s build this future together.
Imagine your life six months from now. Will you still feel stuck in the same patterns, overwhelmed and unsure of how to move forward? Or could this be the moment you look back on as the start of real change?
You don’t have to face this alone. Whether it’s learning to trust yourself, building healthier relationships, or finally feeling at peace in your own skin, therapy can help you get there.
