Therapists in Austin, TX

I see you—tweens, teens, and adults navigating the storm of trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. In the midst of the chaos, you're seeking more than just survival; you're seeking connection—with your mind, body, and soul. I understand the weight you carry and the battles you fight within. Your journey is not just about overcoming challenges; it's about discovering the resilient core within you. It's about peeling back the layers of pain to find the essence of who you truly are.

I am dedicated to helping adults through periods of stress, transition, and uncertainty. In individual therapy, we can work together to help you quiet the mind, calm the body, and develop insights that allow you to life more fully.

I naturally work from a strengths-based, client-centered perspective and feel that collaboration and rapport are key components in the therapeutic process. My goal is to help clients heal and flourish in their lives. Through deeper emotional exploration, things that seem to keep getting us "stuck" can be examined and worked through, resulting in true healing and change. In our sessions, I work with my clients in exploring thoughts, emotions, experiences, relationships, behaviors, etc. and together we work towards a healthier and happier life.

If you are looking for someone with experience to listen to your situation, help you identify things that need to change, and to help you make those changes, I would love to talk with you. I have been counseling children, adolescents, individuals, couples and families for 22 years. We will work together to develop treatment goals and strategies to get things back on course. It is so hard when relationships are stressed or broken, when children are having problems educationally or socially, and when anxiety or depression prevents you from being who you want to be. I can help.

As athletes, it's easy to forget that if we don't mind our mental health, we can feel detached from ourselves, team, and loved ones. In the world of athletics, this happens all too often. Sometimes, we can turn to friends, family, mentors to help us turn it around. Other times, we need additional help. As a former Division 1 & professional athlete, as well as a coach at the club and collegiate levels, I provide a safe and empathetic space for athletes, coaches, and their families to work through challenges. After beginning this work at Baylor Athletics, I strive to continue investing in wellness for the athletic community.

Hi, I'm Jess! One of the bravest things a person can do is ask for help. If you are here, you have already made a courageous decision to reach out for support. Are you struggling with anxious thoughts or find yourself fixated on body image, food, and exercise? My role is to help you get unstuck from these thoughts and support you in building a life you are passionate about. I specialize in working adults and teens who struggle with low self esteem, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and perfectionism. I am especially passionate about working with folks who are further along in their eating disorder recovery.

I remain committed to understanding the expressions of who you are and who you want to be in supporting you toward your own personal growth and fulfillment. I envision my role as a collaborator with you in supporting your further understanding of self.

Life can throw unexpected curves that seem to come out of nowhere and leave us feeling overwhelmed, and disconnected from ourselves, others, and the world around us. Regardless of where you are in life, my goal is to provide a space where you can feel understood, supported, & empowered. While it may be tempting to delay starting therapy, most people know in their heart that the time is now. The first steps are easier than you realize. I can help you explore difficult emotions, strengthen relationships with yourself and others, and develop healthy communication skills, boundaries, and coping skills.

Are you feeling stuck in the same old patterns in your life and ready for a change? Maybe you're feeling the weight of anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma and could use a hand in healing the past to experience freedom from it in the future. Have you noticed you keep getting into the same types of relationship challenges? It is normal for people to feel conflicted and get in our own way - it's part of being human! And we often need someone outside ourselves, friends, and family to help sort through the nitty-gritty thoughts, feelings, and fears. You don't have to face these issues alone.

I specialize in working with individuals and couples from a holistic perspective, incorporating evidence-based modalities to support healing and growth. My practice is informed by the belief that healing occurs within the context of relationships. I approach therapy from a "person in the environment perspective". I help clients explore the dynamics within their families of origin and how these patterns continue to influence their current relationships and sense of self. We will also explore the importance of secure attachments in fostering emotional regulation and resilience.

I am ready to help you build resilience, leverage your strengths, make the most from each day, and, ultimately, help you build the kind of life you want. I specialize in working with people who struggle with ADHD/executive dysfunction, Anxiety, and job- or school-related stress.

I specialize in helping clients overcome recent traumatic events and ongoing challenges like anxiety (including performance anxiety), depression, or loss. Trauma or attachment wounds can lead to overreactions in situations, feeling trapped in negative belief systems, and significantly impact workplace performance and the ability to form healthy relationships.

Want to respond better to life's curveballs? Therapy can clarify the uncertainty that accompanies life transitions—which are often fraught with anxiety, depression, self doubt and unexpected changes in relationships. I help adults find meaning and direction during these times. Others seek therapy with me to address relationship difficulties, school and career stress, low self esteem and general life dissatisfaction. I offer a supportive place for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and what's best for you. We can meet in my office, or we can walk and talk outside.

Do you feel exhausted, overworked, and under appreciated? Perhaps you believe that if you are just the perfect partner, parent, child, sibling, or employee that you will no longer feel this way. However, the burnout is becoming extreme, and you desperately want to feel differently. Maybe you are an empath who worries that you are “too sensitive”, or have an anxious attachment style and fear being considered “too needy”, or a perfectionist who worries that you will never be worthy of the joy, peace, and love that you see others experiencing. Or perhaps you are a people-pleaser wondering if anyone will every truly know the real you.

Counseling, psychology, mental health, and hypnosis have ignited my passion to work with individuals and families long ago. I enjoy working with individuals who have temporary lost their way, lost joy in life, and might be struggling with anxiety, chronic illness, pain or upcoming surgeries, depression, panic attacks, insomnia, or mental blocks. One of my specialties includes working with musicians, artists, writers, and other professions in the entertainment industry. Additionally, I enjoy exploring multicultural issues with immigrants, trauma work with any individuals, and guiding individuals through life transitions.

You're an accomplished, hard worker, and people think you have it all together. But your internal voice reminds you that you feel inadequate, and you may struggle with sadness, anxiety, or anger. Perhaps you have unresolved trauma. You work hard to hide your deepest thoughts and feelings, and it's exhausting. You overanalyze your perceived flaws and past experiences. Perhaps you withdraw or lash out at loved ones. You try to push down negative feelings by staying busy and focusing on other things, but you don't feel so good inside when things are quiet. You feel "off". You're tired of living this way and ready for a change.

After many years of experience in sport.
