Therapists in Austin, TX

Are you suffering from crippling depression or anxiety? Are you going through a major life transition like changing careers, divorce, or other loss? Maybe you're battling habitual patterns that keep getting in your way no matter how many times you've tried to change things on your own. We believe that therapy can provide you with the means to face the hardest of life's challenges. Having a space to be heard and learning to better understand your problems can be the key that helps you to move forward. It provides a new perspective, as well as tools to better manage problems well after therapy is complete.

Psychotherapy is a collaborative effort, and I encourage my clients to take an active role in making decisions about their treatment. While I make my clients’ goals the focus of their treatment, I also seek to engender in my clients the following abilities: mental flexibility, emotional control, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, mindfulness, and self-enquiry.

Lucy in the Peanuts cartoon once said, "to be happy you also have to be sad sometimes; then you're really happy." I agree! Life is about engagement with all of your feelings. How do you relate to your life? Are you finding challenges, aliveness, connection to self and others? Do you have a sense of meaning or is life just something to get through? Are you living or just existing? I strive to assist clients in being closer, more alive, connected, and vibrant, embracing the highs and the lows of life with more balance and acceptance.

Therapy is a safe place to explore challenges in our lives & find strengths that we never knew we had. It has the potential to lift us out of our rut so that we can finally make the changes we've longed for. Whether you are working to decrease your anxiety, unmasking and living authentically, changing careers, exploring your gender or sexual identity, or trying to change your relationships, therapy can be a great place to get a fresh perspective & face these challenges with a champion by your side. My own identity as a multiracial, queer, gender nonconforming therapist enables me to understand clients who feel like outsiders.

I believe in creating a unique and supportive environment where no topic is off limits. My approach in therapy is centered around each person’s individual needs. I focus energy in sessions on empowering clients through their process of self-transformation. You can rely on my authentic, interactive, and curious self to be with you as you navigate your own path of healing. I am here to talk with you, explore with you, feel with you, and at times, challenge you.

Hey, y'all! I'm so glad you're here! Finding help and reaching out takes a lot of bravery (and work). Do you find yourself struggling with anxiety or past traumas? Has the world thrown you for too many loops and you're having a hard time adjusting? You don't have to go through it alone! I strive to create a supportive and non-judgmental space where clients can thrive and embrace their authentic selves.

It makes perfect sense that you're exhausted. You spend much of your time thinking about what could go wrong or what others are thinking. You feel energy crashes throughout the day, your mind chatters at night, and your dreams are so vivid that it leaves you restless. It seems as though you and your partner can never see eye-to-eye, and when you're not arguing with them, you're wrestling with issues with your parents. You've spent much of your life taking care of others - walking on eggshells, afraid of judgement, constantly questioning if you're good enough - I know this because I've lived it. Now is the time to take care of YOU.

I trust you are the expert in your own life. I enjoy working in collaboration with individuals and couples who are weary from feeling anxious, down, and confused. Together we can figure out where your pain started, what is sustaining it, and how to heal from it.

When I was in high school, I struggled with my sexuality. The struggle lead to maladaptive coping skills, depression and anxiety. I felt so alone, scared, and like no one understood what I was going through! I needed help but I was too afraid to ask for it! One day, a school counselor, who I've never interacted with before, noticed that something was wrong with me and she reached out, gave me a helping hand, and put me into group therapy with other teens like me! I wasn't alone any more, I wasn't the only one questioning my sexuality, there were other kids like me! Getting help was the first step towards acceptance and self-love!

Our emotions, behaviors and relationships can be overwhelming to make sense of. Having the support of an unbiased perspective can help as we grow beyond the things that cause us discomfort. As a systems therapist, I understand the issues brought into the therapy in relation to the school, work, relational, societal and intergenerational systems involved. Yes, that does mean talking about your parents and how the messages you received in your family have shaped you. It also means talking about the ways culture, race, sexuality, work environments and history affect the ways we feel and behave.

I hope you take a moment to recognize how much work you’ve done to get to this place. You’ve survived this long, and you should be proud. For most folks, surviving on its own doesn’t cut it anymore. We need to make some adjustments to sustain a more grounded and full life. I want you to experience collaborative healing that is safe, free of judgment, occasionally humorous, and rooted in kindness and gratitude. I currently practice under Therapy Austin and Central Austin Psychotherapy offering in-person and telehealth services.

I have a background in treating eating disorders, body image issues, and complex trauma, as well as anxiety and depression. Many of my clients are seeking space to unlearn harmful coping skills, explore identity, and heal relationships with the body and mind. Cultivating a nonjudgmental and empathetic space for my clients to show up authentically and practice vulnerability is central to my practice rooted in anti-oppressive ideologies including Fat Liberation and Disability Justice.

Accepting New Clients. I'm a somatic, creative and trauma-informed therapist that supports young adults, adults and elders navigating; neurodiversity, anxiety, depression, stress, family and community dynamics, emotional regulation, grief and loss, life transitions, psychedelic spaces, and trauma. My containers are inclusive, drawing from my experience supporting non-monogamous and LGBTQIA+ communities, welcoming all identities.

I help other queer and neurodivergent folx live with anxiety, PTSD, grief, and interpersonal functioning issues. I’m a casual therapist who cusses, listens intently, initiates the hard conversations gently and directly, and offers the education and support you need to navigate and define your experience. A fundamental belief I hold as a therapist is that everyone is capable of change, but sometimes we don’t have the skills or support we need; I provide that support and care, giving you the space and freedom to explore who you are, who you want to be, and what you need to bring those two aspects of yourself into alignment.
