Hi. I’m Austin. The world’s not always a welcoming place. In fact, it’s regularly not. You live here, you know how it is. I hope to foster a space that allows you to show up how you are and feel welcomed. I focus on working with people who want to explore their identity and relationships, process grief, and become better acquainted with their anxiety and depression. If you have concerns about documentation, please let me know, and we'll explore ways of maintaining your privacy together.
As a therapist, I aim to provide a space that invites you to explore everything there is to know about yourself: how you have and continue to move through life, the meanings you have made, and the barriers that have obstructed the path to becoming who you are.
Life is a river that keeps on moving, so we must too. Who you are today, as you read this now, has helped you make it this far, and there's a lot to be said about that. My question to you is: where do you want to go next?
