Divorce Therapists in Austin, TX

"If you are in a relationship, it can always be better. If you are coming out of a relationship, do it with integrity." While my practice and approach is appropriate for general mental health support, I provide specially-designed sessions for individuals or couples seeking healing, emotional support, and skills for managing healthy, life-giving relationships.

The idea behind RePair Therapy is renewal. And not just for couples—for individuals too. Maybe you're in a new relationship after a break-up or divorce, and you don't want to make the same mistakes twice. Maybe this is a second marriage (or third, fourth) for you and your partner. Maybe you're divorced, but you still have to communicate and make major decisions with your ex about your children. Maybe you're coping with a new divorce and need to find a way to reinvent yourself and your life. I specialize in Emotionally Focused Couples therapy and take United Insurance.

I believe relationships define each of us and form the foundation for our life. I work from a systemic perspective with couples, individuals, and families to create relationships that define not only who we are, but also who we desire to become. I help clients with their relationships, intimacy, connection, communication, and sexual compatibility. I work with a lot of women who have suffered from Narcissistic abuse in relationships and family of origin. I also help those who are confused in their current relationships. I enjoy helping those who have autoimmune disease and cancer redefine their sexuality, relationships and desire.

I specialize in working with individuals, couples, adolescents, and families on issues such as divorce, collaborative divorce, writing parenting plans for Pro- Se divorces, co-parenting issues before and after divorce or a court appointed parent coordinator, reunification therapy and coaching parents going through parent child contact problems, and working though parenting issues with adolescents. I work to help coach famiies through all stages of divorce.

I tend to be a good fit for people recovering from or currently struggling with an emotionally abusive person, such as a Narcissist. We want to unbind ourselves from the resultant negative patterns, anxiety, shame, depression, confusion and/or limiting self talk. We may find ourselves attracted to partners, friends, and even careers where we feel unhappy, inauthentic, & exhausted. Perhaps we have becomel codependent, misuse substances, or neglect our health. Our goals are met with road blocks. Practicing boundaries, improving self-esteem, and working through our fears heals wounds, releases shame, and promotes mindful choices.

Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over two decades of experience. I've worked extensively in private practice and university/college settings. My expertise lies in addressing career indecision, career anxiety, assisting women returning to the workforce after divorce or loss, managing career transitions, layoffs, and underemployment concerns. I also support clients facing toxic work environments, offering guidance to navigate these challenges.

Are you going through difficult times in your personal or professional life? Do you struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship, or divorce issues? You are not alone. Many people face these challenges and they can affect your happiness, health, and productivity. But there is hope. You can overcome them and live a fulfilling life.

Carl Jung said, "We cannot change anything unless we accept it." We cannot accept it until we are aware of it. Pain is natural, but struggle and suffering are what happens when we don't take action. That is where I come in. I help you discover what isn't working in your life, identify what needs to change and create a plan to move you toward what you want. There is no "right life" you "should" be living. Why sit in judgment of yourself when you can instead tap into your potential and thrive?

Is there a part of you that is causing you pain or distress? Facing these emotions is the first step towards your healing. You are my priority. I specialize in counseling individuals and couples. As your counselor I combine the science of proven success tools and the art of integrated models to create your specialized experience. My counseling with you can revolve around relationships, communication, life transitions such as premarital counseling, divorce, or loss as well as anxiety, or depression. It is my calling and passion to be instrumental in your healing. I offer Christian and/or spiritual counseling upon request.

I typically work with high functioning people trying to regain a sense of control over their lives. Depression, anxiety, as well as other difficulties stem from relational problems, both past and present, that when explored lead to symptom relief. This can be done in individual, group, or couples therapy.

I work hard to assist my clients and families with their struggles. I am dedicated to my profession and often work with children who are experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, families who have experienced divorce, as well as spectrum disorders.

I am an Honors graduate of The University of Texas at Austin with over 30 years experience helping people overcome anxiety & depression, resolve conflicts, deal with past hurts & traumas, improve communication and self esteem, and increase the quality of their relationships, as well as their work or school performance, in order that they may lead happier and more fulfilling lives. I also recently completed training to become a state-licensed, Clinical Social Work Supervisor for newly-graduated clinicians-in-training.

My primary goal as a therapist is to provide you with a safe place to explore your thoughts and feelings, in a caring, supportive and respectful environment. I have extensive experience providing psychological and behavioral treatments for drug and alcohol abuse/dependence, depression and anxiety, interpersonal relationships, divorce, grief and loss. I use an integrated approach which draws on the best practices of various counseling theories and I tailor these treatments for each client. Together we will work to help you discover and access your personal wisdom and strength in order to find solutions to your interpersonal or psychological issues.

I work with individuals and families who are struggling with difficult issues such as depression, divorce, or mental illness. Conflicts, within and between people, lie at the core of emotional distress. Divorce, depression, substance abuse make setting healthy boundaries difficult, and before the individual knows it, he or she is living in a state of compromise. I focus on people who are wanting to get out of a compromised state and build healthy relationships that protect personal space and are conducive to reciprocity.

I welcome all folks who reside in Texas, as I am a Licensed Psychologist in TX. I work with adults seeking counseling to address issues including anxiety, panic, depression, trauma, life transitions, health issues, divorce, parenting, co parenting after separation or divorce, family issues, relationship problems, and work problems. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them identify, appreciate and cultivate their strengths so they can utilize them in resolving difficulties. The length of treatment depends on the nature of the problem and the needs of each client. I look forward to talking with you.

Do you feel that you are struggling to find happiness in your life? Do you find yourself constantly dealing with dilemmas around your physical health, your relationships, loss, loneliness, or transitions in your life? You are not alone in dealing with these issues. I believe that we all find ourselves struggling with life's dilemmas as we grow and develop as individuals, regardless of age. Many events and circumstances we experience may result in feelings of sadness, anxiety, distance from others, or a loss of meaning in our lives. I am here to help you find hope, make changes, and rediscover your life's energy and purpose again.

Anxiety, depression, and relationship strain are all signs of change trying to happen. Often fear holds us back from challenging ourselves and our relationships. What we need is security, loving acceptance, and healthy curiosity. You may fear that you are stuck, that your partner will never change to meet your needs, or perhaps you are predestined to being unhappy or alone. I help people create relationships where they are comfortable enough to grow. It's through authentic relationships that we find the strength to dream big. Together we can find deep and meaningful connection and insight, find joy in our tears, trust, and grow.

I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress related challenges. These include disorders like Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, and Social Anxiety. I also work with Major and Persistent Depression as well as Borderline Personality Disorder, Avoidant and Dependent Personality Disorder. This includes experiencing these challenges due to trauma or PTSD. I believe that everyone has the capacity to find who they are. I consider myself a relational therapist that uses Gottman methods in therapy and Strategic Family Systems with couples and polycules.
