Therapy for Young Adults and Women in Texas Navigating Anxiety, Stress, and Self-Esteem
When it feels like everyone else is moving forward: building careers; starting relationships; making big life decisions, it can be isolating and overwhelming to wonder if you’re falling behind.
I help young adults and women who feel anxious, uncertain, or weighed down by self-doubt create space to slow down, reflect, and feel more confident in their choices. Together, we’ll cut through the noise of others’ expectations, set goals that actually matter to you, and create a plan that feels doable. So you can start moving forward with clarity, self-trust, and a sense of direction.
Your Path with Confidence
It can feel like life comes with an invisible checklist, career milestones, relationships, major purchases, all expected by a certain age. When your path doesn’t match the timeline you imagined (or that others expect), the weight of comparison can be exhausting. This constant measuring-up leaves little room for your own pace. Instead of feeling inspired by others’ progress, you may find yourself anxious, second-guessing your choices, and wondering if you’ve missed your moment.
At Own Your Story Counseling PLLC, we are dedicated to helping women and young adults navigate the stress, anxiety, and self-doubt that often come with these pressures. You may feel like you’re falling behind, but you’re not alone. Together, we’ll make sense of what you’re carrying, identify what truly matters to you, and build tools to help you move forward at your pace, on your terms.
The truth is, there is no single “right” way to build a life. Your pace, your choices, and your values matter and learning to trust them is the first step to feeling confident in where you’re headed.
The Pressure to Keep Up Can Be Exhausting
I know what it’s like to constantly second-guess yourself while smiling through the overwhelm. On the outside, you’re the reliable one. Capable, strong, the one who always shows up and no one worries about. Inside, you’re anxious, exhausted, and wondering when it’s your turn to feel okay.
If you’re here, you’re probably tired of pretending everything’s fine when it’s not. You might feel stuck, burned out, or unsure of who you are underneath all the expectations. You don’t have to keep pushing through alone.
As a therapist, I offer a space where you can be honest, exhale, and feel supported—without judgment or pressure to perform. Together, we’ll untangle what’s weighing you down and help you reconnect with your voice, your needs, and your sense of self.
