Hey, I’m Phranci (Frankie)!

I know what it’s like to build a life on your own terms.

I grew up a military brat. Often moving, starting over, and learning early how to adapt quickly and keep things running smoothly.

That skill served me well. It also taught me to prioritize everyone else’s comfort over my own. I learned to be the steady one, keep going, and handle things myself instead of asking what I actually needed.

I’ve also been the first in my family to do something different. I know how isolating that can feel, even when it’s exactly what you wanted.

That’s part of why I do this work.

I work with women who are used to being the capable one, the responsible one, or the one who holds everything together. Together, we look beneath the patterns that helped you get here and make space for something different. I provide a safe space for you to start building a life based on your own values and standards, not just the ones you inherited.

My style is warm, conversational, and direct. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you come to therapy. We’ll get curious about what’s underneath the patterns, figure out what you actually want, and work toward a life that feels like your own.

I’m an LPC in Texas and an LCPC in Maryland, trained in EMDR. I work virtually with adults in both states.
