About Michelle

EMDRIA Certified therapist in Arlington, TX

I’m a licensed therapist offering EMDR therapy in Arlington, Texas and online therapy across Texas.

I specialize in working with high-achieving adults who struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and imposter syndrome.

Many of the people I work with are capable and responsible on the outside, but internally feel self-critical, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns they can’t think their way out of.

Why these patterns develop

These patterns often begin early in life.

Some people grew up in environments where emotions were inconsistent, minimized, or unpredictable. Others learned to become the “responsible one” too early, taking on emotional or practical burdens that weren’t appropriate for their age.

Over time, this can develop into chronic anxiety, overfunctioning, and difficulty relaxing or feeling at ease.

How I work

My work is grounded in EMDR therapy, which helps the brain and body process experiences that still feel emotionally “stuck.”

Therapy with me is collaborative, steady, and focused on helping you feel more grounded and less driven by old survival patterns.

Why work with me

I am an EMDRIA Certified Therapist™, which means I have completed advanced training, consultation, and clinical requirements beyond basic EMDR training.

This additional specialization supports my work with clients navigating anxiety, trauma, and long-standing relational patterns.
