Anxiety and panic attacks
When your mind won’t slow down, your body stays on alert, or worries keep you from enjoying the present.
I’m Zaira, a Latina and bilingual therapist. I offer therapy in English and Spanish in Dallas–Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Houston, and throughout Texas. My services are fully virtual, provided in a warm, respectful, and culturally sensitive environment for adults navigating trauma, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, or major life changes.
I’m here to help. Looking for therapy can feel intimidating. If you’re here, you’ve probably already tried many things on your own and are now looking for professional support.
I can support you if you’re facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, a major life change, the loss of a loved one, or a traumatic experience.
I can also help you find tools to cope with difficult situations involving someone close to you, whether that’s your partner, a family member, or someone who plays an important role in your life.

EMDR Intensives are longer, focused therapy sessions, typically lasting three to five hours. They are designed for people who want dedicated, uninterrupted time to work through a specific concern without having to divide the process across several weekly sessions.
Virtual EMDR Intensives are available to adults anywhere in Texas. Each intensive includes thoughtful preparation, a plan tailored to your needs, and time at the end to feel grounded, close the session calmly, and reflect on the work.

I believe healing happens within a relationship where you can feel safe, understood, respected, accepted, and genuinely supported without fear of judgment. Therapy is not only about the approach used; it is also about having a space where you can show up as you are and feel comfortable sharing what may be difficult to put into words.
I work with you the way I would want someone to work with me: with patience, curiosity, and genuine interest in who you are as a person, not only in your symptoms. Our work goes beyond giving you a place to vent. I use trauma-informed approaches that consider the body and nervous system, and, if you’re open to it, I’ll gently challenge you when something may be worth exploring more deeply.
My approach brings together EMDR, attachment- and emotion-focused therapy, nervous system regulation, mindfulness, and values-based work. We choose and adapt these tools based on what helps you, rather than following a fixed formula.
The consultation is a conversation, not a commitment.
We’ll talk about your goals and start with what matters most to you.
No rush or pressure. We’ll adjust the process to your needs and what comes up along the way.
