Therapists in Austin, TX

Life can be difficult sometimes for teens, adults, and parents. Childhood trauma, breaking generational cycles, or sudden life events can make us feel alone and unable to face our fears. This emotional pain can bring symptoms of depression and anxiety, cause a change in behavior and sleep or cause family conflict. You may ask yourself why did this happen to me? Or will I ever feel like myself? It all can feel overwhelming! As your therapist, I will walk with you as you process these changes to heal, grow, and empower yourself.

John Lennon nailed it: "Life is what happens when we are busy making other plans." Without warning we my find ourselves dealing with the loss of a relationship, a job, or a difficult diagnosis. Perhaps parenting, which used to be so easy, does not seem to be working. For others, years of carrying so much anxiety and stress has now become too heavy and is getting in the way.

Please don’t overthink things, don’t spend hours looking for the “perfect therapist, and over analyze the therapy process. I’m here to help, just reach out that’s the first step!
