I care for people who feel stuck, emotionally, spiritually, or in relationships. They may carry trauma, shame, or a sense of disconnection from self and meaning. Some seek second opinions, others seek transformation. They are ready to explore their patterns, not just medicate them. Many are spiritual seekers who sense there’s more to healing than managing symptoms. They want a space where mind, body, and soul are welcomed—and where both conventional medicine and deeper inner work are possible. People who overuse their intellect especially benefit from working with me.

When you’re going through a difficult time, the hardest part isn’t just the struggle - it’s figuring out where to turn. The phone calls. The waitlists. The uncertainty. The feeling that you have to fight just to get help. We created Austin PsychCare because we believe getting help shouldn’t feel like another battle. It should feel clear, accessible, and hopeful. Austin PsychCare is a team of clinicians deeply trained in both psychotherapy and pharmacology. We believe the best care doesn’t choose between science and humanity - it integrates both.

I blend evidence-based care ( CBT, mindfulness, supportive therapy) with safe medication management and whole-person strategies.
You’ve tried to hold it all together- work deadlines, family needs, relationships- but inside, it feels like you’re running on fumes. Your mind won’t shut off at night. You wake up already exhausted, replaying yesterday’s conversations and bracing for tomorrow’s challenges. Anxiety, low mood, or obsessive thoughts steal your energy and focus, and no matter how “together” you look on the outside, inside you feel overwhelmed and alone. With over 20 years in healthcare (including service as a Navy Veteran), I bring a blend of medical expertise and empathy to help you move from merely surviving to truly thriving.

FAQ - Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Psychiatrists
Do psychiatrists provide cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)?
Yes, many psychiatrists provide CBT as a therapeutic approach in sessions with clients. CBT is an evidence-based form of therapy that focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to mental health challenges. Psychiatrists who provide CBT can be particularly valuable when your condition may benefit from both therapy *and* medication, such as depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD or PTSD. However, some psychiatrists choose to focus primarily on medication management rather than ongoing therapy. When evaluating potential psychiatrists, it can be helpful to confirm that they actively incorporate CBT techniques into their practice (rather than focusing solely on prescribing medication)

What is the difference between CBT with a psychiatrist versus a therapist?
The primary difference between CBT with a psychiatrist versus a therapist is that a psychiatrist can integrate medication management with CBT treatment, while non-psychiatrist therapists (such as psychologists, counselors, or social workers) provide CBT without the ability to prescribe medications. In a CBT session with a psychiatrist, you will work on the same core techniques as you would with any CBT provider, such as identifying cognitive distortions or challenging negative thought patterns. However, a psychiatrist can also monitor how medication affects your symptoms. This integrated approach can be especially helpful for conditions like major depression or bipolar disorder, where medication often works together with therapy to produce better outcomes than either treatment alone.

Should I see a psychiatrist or therapist for CBT?
The choice to see a psychiatrist or therapist depends on the severity of your symptoms and whether medication might be part of your treatment plan. A psychiatrist who provides CBT is appropriate when you have more severe mental health symptoms that may require medication. A non-psychiatrist therapist may be appropriate when your symptoms are mild to moderate, you prefer to try therapy without medication first, or you are already stable on medication prescribed by another provider. It is worth noting that psychiatrists typically charge higher rates than other therapists due to their medical training, and psychiatry sessions are not always covered by insurance. Therefore, some people start with a therapist for CBT and later add a psychiatrist to their treatment team if medication becomes necessary.
