Family Therapy in 78728

Do you desire a better life not controlled by negative feelings, distressing thoughts, and behaviors? I recognize the wear and tear that fear, distrust, rage, shame and hopelessness has had on every aspect of your life. My work centers teens, couples, and families who struggle to create safe relationships with themselves and others due to learned dysfunctional patterns, childhood trauma, and intergenerational trauma. I invite you take the next step in your healing and work towards solutions that work for you.

I will meet you right where you are with empathy and nonjudgment. The decision to ask for help, whether as a couple or individual, takes courage and can feel very vulnerable.

Currently accepting new clients. I specialize in helping people think about how to improve their relationships, their emotional health and their lives. People often call because they are needing someone to think with them during a difficult season of life. They may notice unhealthy relationship patterns (disconnection, conflict, severed relationships), they may be struggling with a particular transition (transitioning to adulthood, parenting, loss), or they may be struggling to cope with some intense feelings (grief, sadness, anxiety). I would be happy to help you think about how you would like to meet the challenges you are facing.

Please visit front page of website for appointments. Then fill out calendar or text me at the 413 number. The first session is a full hour intake. I'd be honored to work with you. I believe in joyful and authentic counseling relationships that are self-rewarding, and allowing of transformations on the client's schedule of healing. At the same time, I invite the universally supportive 12 step wisdom, meaning "I get back what I put into my inner work." I believe people grow fastest when they look to increase their faith and purpose in life, with the love of God and family as a major priority for healing and release of past wounds.

You are not broken, you are not crazy, and you do not need to be fixed. The purpose of therapy is to help you become an expert on you and to leverage that expertise to create healthy and sustainable habits that improve your overall quality of life.

I believe it is a privilege to partner with clients and help them navigate their lives. Whether they are struggling or are just ready to do things differently, they don’t have to do it alone. I enjoy meeting people where they are and providing a safe space for them to explore their thoughts and feelings in order to understand their situation better. Using my expertise gained over 17 years of counseling, I am honest and compassionate which allows others to be truthful with themselves as they work toward greater self-awareness, growth, and self-acceptance.

The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination”(Carl Roger’s). Do you feel that your values & needs are out of alignment with how your are actually living? Are your relationships struggling or are you feeling trapped in a cycle that is unsatisfying. Achieving balance and authenticity is an important component of the healing process & my goal is to help clients achieve a deeper awareness, confidence & stability. Anxiety/depression can be unbearable and sometimes immobilizing; relationship problems can weaken our capacity for experiencing happiness; this can leave us feeling hopeless and empty.

In life you can feel like everyone is doing better than you are. You may be looking around, comparing yourself to others and wonder, “Why am I not as happy as everyone else? What am I doing wrong? Am I to blame? Am I not good enough? Is my body broken, my mind, or my heart?” I specialize in working with people who often find that no matter how hard they try, they feel like they are never good enough. This may be during a break up, job transition, infertility, during the changes of pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood, or even during traumatic grief and loss. Starting therapy can be one of the bravest things you can do.

Accepting new clients and offering Brainspotting - a body-brain based trauma therapy.

I strive to help my clients flourish and navigate through their individual life challenges. I have expertise in the areas of highly sensitive persons, anxiety, depression, relational and developmental trauma, addiction, codependence and LGBTQ+.

I believe that every person has the ability to heal and that power comes from within. I work with adults and mature teens to help build resiliency through trauma informed interventions. I specialize in working with clients who have experienced traumatic life events such as childhood abuse, domestic violence and sexual assault. I am skilled in treating folks with trauma related disorders including dissociative identity disorder. A philosophy that I use to guide my approach is this: in life pain is inevitable, suffering, however, is not. If you are suffering know that help exists in the form of compassionate and caring counseling.

Pflugerville Counseling Center offers a wide range of counseling services to individuals, families, couples, and children/teens. Though each of us specializes in different areas, we all hold a belief that counseling is most helpful when it is about having a safe relationship to more fully explore, understand, and accept self and the choices we make. We believe that everyone has a story and the more we can own our stories, the more choice and control we have over writing the next chapters. We all love working with the brain/body/relationship connection we all hold within ourselves and between each other.

My passion is working with teenagers, adolescents, and families to help them develop the skills they need to successfully navigate the problems and challenges in life. I enjoy working with adolescents and teenagers, and I use many different activities to help them discover their inner strength. Through a positive therapeutic relationship, I can help you and your teenager make the changes necessary to live a happy and successful life.

Early in life we learn to disconnect from our bodies and emotions in order to survive and adapt to the environment. Overtime, this manifests as patterns of behavior and self-rejection that though were once adaptive, now only keep us stuck. These patterns typically manifest as anxiety, depression, self-hatred, toxic shame, addictions, obsessions, compulsions, codependency and relationship problems. 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. Many clients describe this process as a gradual “coming home” or reconnection to their authentic self.

You come home from another long day at work and sag onto the couch, feeling completely drained and overwhelmed. The dog needs to go out and the laundry needs to get done, but it's all you can do just to keep yourself from falling apart. Who even has the time or energy to connect with friends or, god forbid, give dating another go? You tell yourself you’re making a big deal out of nothing, and just scroll mindlessly on your phone for hours, too tired to do anything else but not wanting to waste the free time you have. Then off to bed, another sleepless night, get up, go to work, repeat. There's got to be something more than this.

Do you struggle to stay on track with your recovery? Do you find yourself getting bored or feeling lost in your recovery? Or are you beginning to realize you have a problem? Are you thinking about getting ready? I can help you start where you are and begin to plan for what you need to do when you are ready. Maybe it is starting the journey of change or keeping you on the path. More than that, though, we work to help you become who you want to be and find a sense of purpose in your life. I have innovative and best practice approaches that include in-person, group sessions, and telehealth to help meet any unique needs or challenges.

I work with 30+ couples who lead busy professional lives and feel disconnected and estranged from each other, which has led to mounting resentment and increasing misunderstandings and bickering in their home. Using emotionally focused therapy, I focus on their attachment history and style in order to identify their attachment wounds. This approach allows us to create a focused plan of treatment where each partner feels safe according to their needs and is able to be vulnerable with one another and communicate their needs in a way that increases the understanding and intimacy they each crave.
