Online Therapy in Texas for Individuals & Couples
You learned to survive. Now let’s help you live
You don’t have to go through this alone
You've spent years showing up for everyone else, saying yes when you meant no, keeping the peace, bracing yourself for people to leave even when they stay. From the outside, you look like you have it together. But inside, something feels off, and you're tired of not knowing why.
Childhood trauma doesn't always look like what you see in movies. Sometimes it looks like a child who learned to read the room before they could read a book. A kid who became the peacekeeper. The responsible one. The one who never took up space because taking up space felt dangerous.
Those patterns made complete sense once. They just weren't meant to follow you into adulthood.
At Therapy Arete, I help individuals and couples understand where these patterns come from, and you will learn to show up for yourself with the same compassion you’ve always given everyone else. Healing from trauma isn't about reliving the past. It's about understanding how the past lives in you right now, and gently changing that.
Therapy tailored to your needs
At Therapy Arete, I work with:
Individuals— to heal from childhood trauma, break people-pleasing patterns, and rebuild a sense of self.
Couples— to rebuild trust, improve communication, and reconnect beyond the cycle of conflict.
Each session is guided by compassion, and evidence-based approaches that help you make real, lasting changes.

Areas I can help with
Most people who find their way here aren't sure exactly what to call what they're feeling. They just know something isn't working, and they're tired of it not working.
Maybe you give everything to everyone and still feel like it's never enough. Maybe you say yes when every part of you means no, and then quietly resent yourself for it. Maybe you love the people in your life deeply, but spend most of your energy waiting for them to leave. Or maybe you and your partner keep having the same fight, just with different words, and you're both starting to wonder if anything will ever actually change.
Sometimes it's harder to name than that. Just a quiet sense that something from your past keeps showing up uninvited in your present. That you're holding everything together on the outside while something inside feels like it's slowly coming undone.
And sometimes you already know. You've read the books. You've listened to the podcasts at 2am. You can name your attachment style, explain your triggers, and describe your patterns with almost clinical precision. But then Monday comes, and you're back in the same moment, reacting the same way, feeling the same shame about it afterward. Because knowing something about yourself and actually living differently those are two completely different things. Awareness without integration is just a more sophisticated way of staying stuck.
That's the work I do, and it's different from just talking about your problems every week. I'm not here to help you understand yourself better while everything stays the same. I'm here to sit with you in the places where insight hasn't been enough, and actually help you move. Using EMDR, Parts Work/IFS, Somatic therapy, and Gottman Method, we work with your mind, your story, and what your body has been carrying until the change you've wanted stops feeling impossible and starts feeling like you.
Getting started is simple
Reach out for a free 15-minute consultation. You don't need the right words or a clear explanation. Just show up. We'll figure out the rest together
We start where you are. Not where you think you should be. Weekly sessions built around your pace, your story, and what actually needs to change
You begin living differently. Not just understanding yourself better. Actually showing up in your life, your relationships, and your own skin in a way that finally feels like you
Take the next step toward healing
If you've made it this far, something in you is ready, even if another part of you is terrified. You don't need to have it figured out. You don't need the perfect explanation of what's wrong. You just need to take one small step, and I'll meet you there.
Let's start with a free 15-minute conversation. No pressure, no commitment; just two people seeing if this feels like the right fit. Because the most important thing about therapy isn't the approach or the credentials. It's whether you feel safe enough to actually do the work.
I hope to talk with you soon.
