Therapists in Williamson County, TX

I specialize in healing complex and developmental trauma. Even when we've had well-intentioned parents, we can develop patterns of behavior that though were once adaptive, now only keep us stuck. These patterns typically manifest as anxiety, depression, self-hatred, addictions, obsessions, compulsions, codependency and other problematic experiences. I work experientially in the moment to get to the root of what is getting in the way of desired experiences on an identity level, supporting each client through a tailored reconnection to unprocessed emotions. Many clients describe this process as "coming home" to themselves.

Do you ever find yourself caught in a cycle of facing challenges related to your anxiety, relationships, and self-exploration, no matter what else is happening in your life? You may be fed up with the tight grip of anxiety, and feeling the erosion of your self-confidence. Making it difficult to navigate relationships with the openness and authenticity you desire. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to forge connections with others who understand and appreciate you for who you are. Most of all, you’re ready to feel empowered.

I get it! On the outside, you seem fine. You’re balancing everything life throws at you...but there are times when you’re overwhelmed. You feel like whatever you do, it doesn’t seem to be “enough." It doesn't have to be this way. I help people struggling with anxiety, people pleasing, perfectionism, and indecision learn healthy patterns of coping and boundaries so they feel confident, joyful, and ready to enjoy life again. Often talk therapy consists of clients venting to their therapists week after week, and gets you nowhere. Instead I offer clear guidance to help you understand yourself and change old patterns into healthy living.

Moms who feel like they can't catch a break, who feel hopeless or overwhelmed with a giant knot in their stomach, sleeplessness, postpartum and beyond. Whether you're going through life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, or feelings of disconnection and loneliness, I will help you reconnect to your inherent strengths. I create a container to hold space for intentional change. Together, we can help you feel supported, and whole.

Anxiety and trauma are a heavy burden, disconnecting us from our lives, loved ones, and even our sense of vitality and safety in our minds and bodies. We get trapped in a persistent feeling of unease because our bodies believe that it keeps us safe. Coping often only addresses this symptom while ignoring deeper hurt, preventing true healing. To move past trauma and anxiety for good, we must foster safety in our lives, heal the source of our pain, and develop a felt sense of our own capacity to flourish. My practice is all about helping my clients through that process as a supportive companion and guide.

Seasons of stress & overwhelm can feel disorienting & exhausting. Could they be affecting you more than you thought? Trauma-informed therapy provides a supportive process for undoing the harm caused by past events. Together, we can work through root causes while nurturing a process of growth to develop who you are and how you show up in the world. What you're going through now and what you've been through in the past doesn't need to be what defines how you move forward.

At EMDR Therapy Austin we don’t just treat trauma, we help resolve trauma. We address the core, underlying patterns and long-held beliefs that drive symptoms of anxiety and depression and are perpetuated by unresolved trauma. While EMDR therapy is in our name, our therapists are integrative. Our individualized approach is both scientific and artful— skillfully blending cutting-edge trauma modalities like NARM, somatic therapies, and IFS parts work; relationship science rooted in attachment theory; our own intuition and hard-earned wisdom; as well as a genuine curiosity to get to know you deeply.

Despite your best efforts, life is unknowable - you can't always predict or be prepared for what comes your way. You might need help sorting out what's going on. As a therapist, I have learned that we are not alone in our struggles. People hurt together, and we also must heal together. Through our relationships and experiences, we can grow and rediscover what we thought was once lost. I want to help you down that path of discovery while using psychotherapeutic approaches such as attachment theory, AEDP, IFS, interpersonal neurobiology (IPNB), Somatic Experiencing, and EMDR.

Evening Appointments Available! Do you feel overwhelmed by work, your relationships, or changes in your life? Do you ever find yourself wondering “Why do others look like they have their lives together and I’m struggling to just be me”? It can sometimes feel too painful to explore these questions alone and even scarier to let someone else be there to explore them with you. I understand that struggle and would be honored to work with you at your pace to figure out what it takes for you to feel satisfied and fulfilled.

I believe there comes a time in everyone's life when we will feel lost, disconnected or hopeless. We sometimes lose our ability to deal with life's challenges. This inability to deal with life's challenges can be frightening, confusing and problematic. What is needed at such moments in our life is an attuned and trusted other. Someone who can believe in us when we can't believe in ourselves. It is in this kind of therapeutic relationship where old wounds are healed and we learn to trust, manage our emotions and reconnect to our wise and true self.

I provide a candid, liberating, validating and irreverent experience for my clients, centered around self-discovery and creating a life worth living. I attract clients that have grown weary of the traditional therapy and want someone who's honest with them. I know what it's like to manage a personality disorder and how hard it can be to find the right treatment provider when you've finally have the right diagnosis. As a therapist who has experienced trauma, I’ve also heard a lot of smack talk about treating someone with BPD. The stigma I've experienced has fueled my interest in specializing in treating BPD and mood disorders.

Are you having conflicts in your relationships? Does your past prevent you from living a full life or having healthy/secure relationships?

If you answered yes, we sound like we would work well together. I am committed to providing a nurturing, emotionally focused, and holistic approach to therapy. I work with people on developing self-compassion and strength to process emotions, and to become aware of self-destructive patterns/beliefs that hinder you from living life vibrantly.
