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.

*Not currently taking new clients* Hello! I provide support to those of us who don't always fit in and have experienced some rough times. Being human is not always easy and it can generate “stuff”. Maybe the “stuff” you're experiencing right now is feeling overwhelmed from anxiety, addiction or life transitions. It may feel like nothing seems to be helping and you're alone… like your miles away from the “you” that you want to be. Let’s get you some tools to break this pattern because you're looking here and you're ready for a change.

We all go through complicated situations, some of which we don’t feel adequately prepared to handle.

We want to work with you to help you overcome obstacles that you are facing, improve on aspects in your current life situation, and provide a sense of strength and hope during times that you may feel lost.

You’re a sensitive woman who feels and thinks about things more deeply than others. Lately, you feel lost, disconnected, and wonder if you can even feel better. You thought you were ok but experiences from the past have reappeared. The anxiety and sadness have crept in. No one can tell because you hold it all together. Exercise, eating healthy, scrolling through, reading about what you're going through, and talking to those closest to you isn’t helping anymore. You’re exhausted and it’s taken its toll. You want to feel less shame and guilt; no longer feel like the past is in control; and gain a sense of calm and freedom from this.

Your trauma, your anxiety, and your fear has taken over your life. You are on edge often times without knowing why. The world feels dangerous and you are afraid. Your inner critic is harsh and unforgiving and it seems like you can never get it right. You are struggling to maintain work or your relationships are damaged and suffering. You feel unbalanced and not grounded, like you need to hold on to something sturdy or you might float away. The voice inside is on repeat saying "you aren't good enough," you're never going to get better," and "you don't deserve this."

Listening, empowering & being present with my clients is what I am passionate about.

Your life is not looking the way you imagined. Your mind is giving you all sorts of negative messages and you are feeling down, depressed, overwhelmed, or anxious. Whether you are 16, 30, or 60, you deserve to enjoy your life every day. I work with mood disorders, anxiety and stress, trauma, adolescent issues, self-esteem challenges, grief and loss, and life transitions. I am a board approved supervisor for Social Workers in the state of Texas.

I work hard to assist my clients and families with their struggles. I am dedicated to my profession and often work with children who are experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, families who have experienced divorce, as well as spectrum disorders.

I believe that self-expression is key for confidence and healthy relationships. I work with people who are feeling overwhelmed and alone to face past hurts, get ahold of big emotions, and face insecurities head-on, so they can better understand themselves and express themselves in connection with others. Together we explore pain points and self-talk that can lead to messy relationships, anxiety, sadness, shame, self-doubt, and burn-out. I work well with individuals who want to connect with their own power, to take responsibility for their part in relationships, & to express both their strength and softness with ease.

You cannot believe what is happening, like this is not real. Struggling with the loss of a family member, your pet or a relationship can be isolating and hopeless. Living in fear after trauma or after your health worsen can be overwhelming. Trying to make meaning of this alone can be difficult. Going through something stressful may make you feel uncomfortable emotions, so whatever you are feeling is normal and you are a survivor. Either way, you know you want to do something about it. You want to break free from fear and hopelessness. You want to feel like yourself again. You want to feel joy again.

Anxiety, depression, problems in relationships, career, life transitions, cultural/ societal impact or struggling to overcome loss or trauma - these are universal human experiences. Things become problematic when they start to impact our daily functioning and quality of life. We know when something isn't right. We feel stuck, lost or alone. This is where counseling can help. I have spent the past 20+ years providing compassionate, non-judgmental, therapeutic care to help foster my clients’ cognitive, emotional and interpersonal strengths. I aim to empower my clients' ability to heal, thrive and grow from life's challenges.
