Couples Counseling Therapists in Cedar Park, TX

Many struggle with shame, envy, and the “what ifs” that cause stress in our day to day lives. We feel pressure from the internet to “have more, be more, do more.” We can dismantle those beliefs, build ourselves back up, and be kinder to ourselves. I do my best work with men, individuals, and couples looking for a direct, "down to earth" style that helps create a comfortable space to discuss your therapy goals. My couples work includes learning to regulate emotions, respond with compassion, and understand your partner's needs and desires.

Are you wishing your child or your spouse came with an instruction manual? Family relationships are how children and adults come to understand themselves and the world and is what all of us most want to get right. So, when children struggle, parents struggle. And when couple falter, the kids feel it, too. My goal in counseling is to help partners, parents and kids build on the love and strengths they already have, learning new ways to interact, communicate, and solve problems. My experience and philosophy both tell me that kids and adults do well when they can. And when we feel better, we all do better.

At a glance, psychotherapy is a service offered by licensed counselors to treat mental illness & improve wellbeing. To the initiated, however, it is much more. Therapy is powerful. Its focus and impact can vary from person to person. To some, therapy means relief from suffering. For others, it means having access to safety, compassion, and understanding. It’s also used to increase confidence, improve relationships, explore identity, and more. I believe therapy is most effective when it is collaborative and flexible. My approach is to combine my clinical experience with my clients' natural strengths to help them achieve their goals.

Do you sense that something undefinable is holding you back from success and happiness in your school, work, or personal life? Our thoughts and actions are often purposeful and useful. Where we falter is when what has worked for us in the past is no longer effective in dealing with our problems. So-called "symptoms" often mask deeper issues in our lives. When these unresolved facets of ourselves are addressed in psychotherapy, we tend to get better. I want to meet you in a genuine and non-judgmental way. My approach is empathetic, playful, and collaborative.

There are times in all of our lives when struggles arise. As a therapist, I will support you through your struggles and help you reach your goals.

In therapy, we will talk about how your experiences, thoughts, feelings, actions, and relationships affect you and your life. Together we will identify areas where you feel stuck and find new positive ways of responding.

Being a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) means that I incorporate many facets of your life into therapy.

Personally, it just makes sense to me to take into account all of the different systems you are connected to as I work to help you be where you want to be. I will work collaboratively with you and bring more than a decade of experience as a therapist into our sessions.

Howdy! I am happy you’re here. I hope to help you identify what’s getting in the way of what you want for yourself, and support you in removing those barriers. If you struggle with relationships, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, thoughts of suicide, overwhelming emotions, low self-esteem, self-harm, perfectionism and/or people-pleasing, or the impact of past trauma, there's hope that your life can feel different. Our past experiences shape our present-day thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. That influence is sometimes helpful and sometimes not.

Do you find yourself sitting amongst the ashes of charred dreams seeking ways to find meaning in the mess? Do you feel hopeless, or helpless, triggered from past harm? Do you have the nagging sensation there is more goodness to be found in life? These negative experiences do not have to prevent you from living with delight, freedom and pleasure. Together, we can reframe your story through a counseling relationship. I believe sitting with another person to explore their story, and their perceptions related to those stories, can redeem broken places, restore vitality, and reveal hope for the future. You can experience healing.
