"Welcome! I work with individuals, couples, and families who are looking to heal from past wounds and find their highest self. With a multidimensional background, I will meet you where you are and we'll explore the barriers that may be preventing you from moving forward. I believe you already have the tools you need. It takes a safe space with which to release the emotional weight and begin to see life with a new perspective. Let's switch out those old tapes of negative self talk, shall we? You don't need them any more."

"Relationships sure can be challenging. These days, communication = arguing or not speaking. So you avoid talking about the important things. You still love each other, but it’s getting hard to tell sometimes. There’s not much affection, much less intimacy. You’re both very busy. The little time you spend together is often tense. You’re hoping that you can turn things around soon because, one thing is for certain: your relationship cannot continue like this for much longer."

"I offer individual therapy to adults with treatment specialization in: Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Relationship issues, Childhood Sexual Abuse, Codependency, Domestic violence, and Sexual assault. I work hard to tailor my approach to fit your needs. I am aware that emotional healing is some of the hardest and most important work that you will ever do, and because of this, I provide FULL one hour sessions."

"Can you define success? I use a strength-based therapeutic style to enhance the positive aspects each one of us possesses. There is no one definition of success. I would like listen to what you feel is your definition of success in life. There is no other individual on the planet just like you, and I look forward to creating an unconventional and unique experience. I offer a warm, safe environment to all my clients through my ability to be approachable, kind and authentic throughout the entire therapy process."

"I provide an environment in which a therapeutic relationship can develop that will allow clients to explore, express and examine various aspects of themselves. In so doing, the clients gain a heightened awareness and a deeper understanding of themselves that brings a new perspective to their daily lives."

"I know that it can be incredibly difficult to reach out and ask for help. I think it is one of the bravest things a person can do. I also believe that change and hope are very real. I would be honored and privileged to get to be the person that walks beside you in your journey of healing."

"My clients are children and families who are stressed due to multiple changes at home or school. They are usually able to meet most difficulties without too much struggle but now need to get a fresh perspective with some outside help. I offer sandplay therapy, a creative, nonverbal play therapy which facilitates the centering and healing process of persons regardless of age-- but is particularly appealing to children ages 5-13. My clients are changing careers, going back to school, or wanting to try something new. My clients are facing life threatening illness and want to clarify their choices."

"I offer individual and couples therapy with an expertise in trauma recovery. I use a variety of methods including Somatic Experiencing, ART(Accelerated Resolution Therapy), AEDP, Pia Mellody's Post Induction Therapy(Codependency), and Mindfuness, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Attachment Theory, and Shame Resilience Theory. I also utilize Sandtray Therapy for adults and train therpists in the use of sand tray . My therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. NOTE: I offer early morning appointments at my Onion Creek office for the convenience of NE Hays and SE Travis County residents"

"I have a passion and skill for working with individuals and families facing diverse challenges. Family challenges may arise as communication barriers, child development concerns, overwhelming emotions, or unhealthy behaviors. When these situations become unmanageable or disruptive, psychotherapy for individual family members or the entire family has been shown to help alleviate suffering and return people back on track with their lives. The foundation of my work as a psychotherapist is to help individuals, family members, and groups work through these types of conflicts."

"I love doing therapy with individuals who muster the courage to do the work. You can rely on me to take the time to build trust and listen to your fears and concerns. Rapport is important to me because it sets the tone for an honest appraisal of who you are and where you truly want to be. My hope is that my clients feel supported in their purpose. (NOTE: Josh McAdams, Clinical Director at McAdams Therapy accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield. Other therapists on staff are not in network with BCBS.)"

"I work with people who are going through life transitions, struggling with anxiety, depression or other mental health concerns or recovering from illness or injury. My goal is to create a safe place for clients to work on changing thoughts and behaviors that are unwanted. Together, we can figure out what is causing emotional pain and how to move towards healing and strength."

"You may be interested in counseling because of some specific issue or it could be a vague sense that something in your life is off. We often try to avoid painful or uncomfortable emotions, such as sadness, anger, resentment or grief. But doing so renders them difficult to work through. I can help you develop the tools to enhance your relationships with self and other, undo unhelpful patterns, and improve your overall quality of life."

"I believe that successful therapy starts with a strong, collaborative relationship between the therapist and client. I understand that each one of my clients has a unique story to share and I am committed to listening with empathy and without judgment. My style is conversational, intuitive, and direct with each intervention grounded in evidence-based research."

"What you have to remember is your life doesn't have to be this way. I believe in the power of therapy to overcome the stress and anxiety you may experience. I help clients find relief using a holistic approach. Holistic psychotherapy treats underlying causes of anxiety and stress based problems and not just the symptoms. Our work together will be focused on your emotional, physical, and spiritual well being. This approach includes some of the best research based treatments for anxiety.
