Therapists in Cedar Park, TX

Being heard and feeling deeply understood matters. Some of us have waited our whole lives to be received with intelligent compassion. When it happens, we know it – we can sense it viscerally. It helps us begin to make sense of our histories, our thoughts and feelings, of inevitable changes and life challenges, of successes and failures. I strive to create such an environment, to listen carefully with my mind and my heart to what is said and to what may still be unsayable. I strive to help you heal old emotional wounds of many kinds and create lasting changes for a better future.

Whether you have been in therapy before, or you are braving these waters for the first time, welcome! You might be feeling stuck or overwhelmed, experiencing relationship issues, dealing with a life transition, or walking through the hardest days of your life thus far. Whatever that may look like for you right now, my hope for you is to have safe, healthy relationships where you can experience the compassion and care that you need. I would love to be a soft place for you to land, so that you may heal, grow, question, and transform into the person you were made to be. Abundant life and joy is possible - let's get there together.

Supervised by Diana Walla LPC-S, LMFT-S. I work with couples and individuals who want to live their lives to the highest potential. I work with traditional and nontraditional relationship dynamics and family systems. This includes working with LGBTQ+, ethically non-monogamous, and those in monogamous relationships. I assist people in building healthy relationships, and I also work with those experiencing issues with infidelity. In individual therapy I work with trauma, eating disorders, OCD, bi-polar, anxiety and depression, everyday life issues, and family trauma.

Life does not discriminate -- it presents all of us with challenges, adversities, and opportunities. Sometimes going through difficult experiences allows us to emerge with a renewed sense of self and a fresh recognition of our inner strengths. But this kind of transformation isn't a given. Sometimes pain is unrelenting and pushes us to find new ways to cope and new avenues for understanding. Seeking help shows your courage and your motivation to find your way...

*Currently full and not accepting new clients* I work with clients who are looking for support with trauma, stress, new life transitions, grief, communication or relationship distress.

I specialize in assisting my clients in the final resolution of trauma, developmental attachment disruptions; and significant disturbing events and abuse. I've designed an integrative method based on the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) to neuro-physiologically strengthen the body for trauma processing; Brainspotting and EMDR training to systematically and intuitively identify and process to resolution the major issues and deeply seated sources of negative beliefs and negative self image. CRM and Brainspotting, brain based therapies, evolved out of EMDR and are highly effective for a broad range of psychological trauma resolution, performance blocks, ADHD, complex PTSD, substance abuse, etc.

I have over 25 years of experience helping people address issues that block them from reaching their full potential in life. Understanding the source of problems is vital to making effective changes. I will help you identify what is causing you trouble and how to effectively improve it. Over the years, I have come to understand how important it is to not only connect with what one is experiencing psychologically but also connecting with how our emotions are stored and experienced in our body. I specialize in improving relationships with important people in your life and especially your relationship with yourself.

Are you having conflicts in your relationships? Does your past prevent you from living a full life or having healthy/secure relationships? Are you a new mom and struggling to connect with your baby, feel the societal pressure that this should be the most joyous time of your life? 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.

Managing life's battles can be overwhelming and inherently all-consuming. I am direct, solution focused and client centered when it comes to working with people who are seeking treatment related to substance use/addiction disorders, family/relational conflict, spiritual questioning centered around trauma, grief or purposeful living, life transitions, case management, marriage and couples counseling as well as working with teens, emerging and aging adults. Our sessions can range from helping manage fear that may cause immobility or clouding our brightest path to addressing coping skills to better navigate relapse, improving communication or building insight to behavior and purpose.

In our lives, we face circumstances that lead us to cope however we can. Sometimes those coping methods lead us into shame and disconnection. I lend a compassionate ear to my clients struggling with addiction, life transitions, relationship issues, intimacy, and more. I strive to lend empathetic and non-judgmental support to my clients in order to help them grow deeper in their self-compassion. I use techniques and concepts of Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Somatic Therapy to provide you with a space to learn and grow more comfortable and familiar with your emotions.

Have you recently experienced a shift in your religious/spiritual beliefs? Are you struggling to understand what your purpose is, what your values are, and where to go from here? I am a former member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (aka the LDS/Mormon church). I have first-hand knowledge and experience with how difficult of a journey it can be to have your religious/spiritual beliefs change. Figuring out who you are-and what you now believe in-can be a painful, difficult journey, but you do not have to do it by yourself. I will be there to help guide you every step of the way.

Our struggles are hard. Have you been trying to hold all the pieces together, while also feeling constant worry and overwhelm? Have you experienced a traumatic event or childhood, and find yourself stuck in self-defeating behaviors or relationships? Are you going through a life transition and feel unsettled about the next step forward? Our struggles also shape us. Let’s journey inward to explore how these experiences are shaping your relationship with yourself and others, and reconnect with your self-trust and inner wisdom to live life with more ease and joy.

***Accepting new clients through virtual sessions*** Are you feeling discouraged in your relationship? Have you lost that warm and close feeling you once had?
