The capable one
You're the person everyone leans on. You hold the room. You also lie awake at 2am, mind running, wondering when the wheels come off.
High-functioning anxiety A South Austin therapy practice
Therapy for the quiet weight you've been carrying gracefully.
For thoughtful, capable adults who look fine on the outside — and feel anxious, disconnected, or quietly stuck inside. Talk therapy, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, and psychedelic integration, held with warmth and clinical depth.
[ a single bloom, soft focus ] 
“
The work isn't about becoming someone new. It's about coming home to who you were before you had to perform.
Who I work with
Often, the people who come in look just fine on the outside.
Inside is another story. If any of these feel like a quiet description of your inner weather, we'll have a place to start.
The pattern-watcher
You can name the loop — same kind of relationship, same kind of conflict, same kind of distance — and still feel powerless to step out of it.
Relational patternsThe numbed-out one
On paper, life works. From the inside, you've gone quiet. Disconnected from your body, your hunger, your wanting. Going through motions.
Disconnection / dissociationThe seeker
Years of talk therapy, books, podcasts. Real insight, but the same things keep getting in your way. You're ready for work that meets you somewhere deeper.
KAP & integration-curious Services
Three ways we might work together — chosen for fit, not formula.
01
Talk Therapy
$175 · 50 min
Weekly, depth-oriented work. Relational, parts-aware, somatically informed. For anxiety, recurring patterns, identity, grief, and the things that don't have a tidy diagnosis.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
Intake · Prep · Dosing · Integration
A trauma-informed KAP protocol for clients who've done a lot of cognitive work and want something that meets the body and the unconscious. Always paired with prep and integration sessions.

Psychedelic Prep & Integration
Single sessions or short arc
Considering or returning from a psychedelic experience? Careful, non-judgmental preparation and integration so the experience becomes lasting change — not a story you tell.
Inquire about this- i.
Relational, not transactional
The relationship is the medicine. Honest, collaborative, willing to be wrong.
- ii.
Parts-aware
The protective patterns that shaped you aren't problems to fix. We listen to what they're guarding.
- iii.
Somatic & experiential
Insight without the body rarely sticks. We slow down enough to feel the shift, not just narrate it.
- iv.
Trauma-informed throughout
Pacing and consent at every step. The nervous system gets a vote in what we do next.
“The goal isn't being fixed. It's becoming someone who recognizes what's actually happening — and has more choice in it.”

About Emily
I built this practice from the inside of it.
For most of my early adult life I was the overachieving, high-functioning people-pleaser. Capable from the outside, quietly running on anxiety and self-erasure underneath.
Therapy — with practitioners who really knew how to work relationally, somatically, and with the unconscious — is what changed it. Not getting "fixed." Becoming someone who could actually feel her life, and choose it.
That's the work I offer now: integrative, trauma-informed therapy for thoughtful people who are tired of holding it all together on the outside while struggling on the inside.

Is ketamine-assisted therapy for me?
KAP is well-suited to clients who've done meaningful talk therapy and still feel stuck — particularly around trauma, depression, or recurring patterns the cognitive work hasn't moved. It's not a first-line treatment. We'll have a careful conversation about fit, history, and what you're hoping for during intake.
-
Do you take insurance?
I'm not in-network with any insurance. I'm private pay ($175 / 50 min) and provide superbills you can submit to your insurance for out-of-network reimbursement. A limited number of sliding-scale spots are available — just ask in your inquiry.
-
What does a first session feel like?
We meet for a 50-minute consult first — free, no obligation — so you can get a sense of me before deciding. If we move forward, the first few sessions are mostly about getting to know each other, your history, and what feels most pressing. There's no rush; we work at the pace your nervous system can metabolize.
Ready when you are
Send a note — tell me what's actually going on.
I read every inquiry. If we seem like a fit, we'll set up a free 20-minute consult so you can get a feel for me before deciding anything. Usually a 2–3 business day reply.
