Stop Surviving - Start Thriving.
Start Feeling Like Yourself Again.
If you're constantly anxious, overthinking every decision, striving for perfection, and feeling like you're never quite "good enough," you're not alone—and you don't have to keep living this way.
At Courageous Footsteps Counseling, I provide anxiety therapy, emotional neglect counseling, and trauma counseling specifically for women. I help you heal from anxiety, childhood trauma, perfectionism, people-pleasing, burnout, and low self-worth using an evidence-based, holistic approach that honors the whole self—integrating emotional, mental, and physical well-being.
Together, we'll help you quiet your inner critic, rebuild confidence, regulate your nervous system, strengthen healthy habits, and create a life that feels calmer, healthier, and more authentic.
Serving women throughout Texas, Washington, and Florida via secure online therapy.
Healing isn't just about changing your thoughts; it's about healing your entire life. Many women who struggle with anxiety, trauma, or perfectionism often experience exhaustion, overwhelm, disconnection from their bodies, poor sleep, skipped meals, constant stress, and a tendency to prioritize everyone else's needs over their own. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and GGS Certified Women's Coaching Specialist, I integrate evidence-based anxiety therapy and emotional neglect counseling with practical education on sustainable health habits that support emotional wellness. While therapy addresses the emotional roots of anxiety and trauma through approaches like trauma counseling, coaching and education provide the framework to build healthier routines surrounding movement, nutrition, sleep, stress management, and self-care—because your mental and physical health are deeply connected. This whole-person approach fosters lasting change rather than just temporary relief.

Yes. Research shows online therapy is as effective as in-person care. You’ll receive grounding tools, nervous system regulation skills, and compassionate guidance — from the comfort of home.
Many therapists focus primarily on thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. My approach recognizes that mental and physical well-being are interconnected. Alongside evidence-based therapy, we may address lifestyle factors that can strengthen resilience, improve emotional regulation, and support long-term healing.
No. This is psychotherapy that incorporates evidence-informed education about lifestyle habits that influence mental health. Therapy remains the foundation of our work, while discussions about sleep, stress management, movement, nutrition, and self-care are integrated when they support your treatment goals.
Many clients notice shifts in emotional awareness and self-compassion early on. Lasting change happens gradually — step by step — but you won’t walk it alone.
Growing up without emotional attunement teaches your nervous system to stay alert, avoid mistakes, and anticipate rejection. Therapy helps your body unlearn survival mode and feel safe to relax, trust, and be imperfect.
Signs include perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-doubt, numbness, fear of conflict, difficulty knowing your needs, and feeling responsible for others’ emotions. If that sounds familiar, therapy can support healing.
Only if you want to. We’ll explore your story gently and at your pace. You never need to relive trauma to heal it — we focus on empowerment, safety, and nervous system balance.
Survival strategies kept you safe — we honor them. Now you get to learn new patterns rooted in self-compassion, boundaries, and emotional safety. Healing is possible at any age.
Absolutely. These are common responses to emotional neglect. Together, we’ll build self-trust, reduce fear of mistakes, and create space for rest, pleasure, and authenticity.
Not at all. There are no prescribed workout plans or diets. Together, we'll explore realistic, sustainable habits that fit your life and support your emotional well-being.
My focus is not weight loss. Instead, I help women build healthier relationships with movement, nourishment, stress management, and self-care as part of supporting overall mental wellness. If weight management is one of your goals, I can help you develop sustainable habits while encouraging collaboration with your medical providers when appropriate.
