Therapists in Austin, TX

My role as a therapist is to facilitate growth and change by assisting my clients in realizing and exploring the primary concerns in their lives. My job is to help them get "unstuck," so that they can choose other ways to live. I offer tools that can help them communicate better, establish necessary and healthy boundaries, manage anger and fear healthily, and eliminate self-destructive and self-harming behavior. Most importantly, I offer assistance in improving the self, which can enrich and increase the joy in my client's lives.

We all want to do better at something and to make positive change. But it can be stressful and it can feel overwhelming. Many of us have tried but cannot seem to make it last, or maybe we just don’t know where to start. If you feel that way, I would love to help. My passion is for empowering you. I want to help you better manage your feelings and help you make those difficult choices – to help you cut through whatever stands between you and the person you really want to be.

It has never been more imperative that we take care of our mental health and wellness. There is so much to decompress from daily, that sometimes we find ourselves overwhelmed. Sometimes you want to find a therapist that will support you, and other times you may be looking for direction and challenge. During this time of the Pandemic and ongoing political and social unrest, consider caring for yourself, first. As you grow this work into consistent practice, you will find more gratitude and mindfulness even during difficult times. I look forward to serving you.

I have hope when working with people who are going through intense emotion such as of anger, anxiety, or depression. I'm optimistic when working with folks who experience this because I believe in strengths-based counseling, and I've witnessed many people grow their strength to be able to process those emotions. Though the emotion difficulties can be similar across people I work with, the reasons each person feels this way are unique, and I want to hear your story.

You don't need to be alone. Through therapy, I help people who seek connection. I help people identify connections between past and present relationships, their body, and brain. Understanding how these interact and influence one another helps empower people to take control of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Working with a counselor who understands the anatomy and biology of the brain is critical during therapy. Identifying when and why specialized neural systems are activated helps people gain self-awareness, prepare for action, and implement change.

As therapists, we're accustomed to being the ones who provide support, guidance, and empathy to our clients. But what about when therapists themselves need support? What happens when the ones who are supposed to have all the answers find themselves struggling with their own mental health challenges? Being a therapist for other therapists is a unique and deeply rewarding role, a role that I truly excel in. By creating a safe and nonjudgmental space, I understand the unique challenges therapists face, I normalize help-seeking behavior, and model self-care.

SORRY, I'M NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Here's a nickel's worth of free advice: These listings are a good place to start (kudos for seeking support - there is not a single one of us who doesn't need it), but there is no paragraph so eloquent that it can substitute for sitting down with someone and finding out who they are and how it feels to talk with them. Meet with as many people as is necessary to find someone you truly trust. Don't settle. There are lots of therapists - yours should be awesome.
