Are you struggling with anxiety, depression or difficulty in relationships? Have you tried therapy, but not gotten the results you desire? The cause could be unresolved trauma that is blocking your ability to move forward. Our past can contaminate the present, which causes our future to replicate our past, leaving one stuck. Do you and your partner struggle discussing issues, feel disconnected, or are drifting apart? The failure to communicate is the greatest cause of marital problems. Using Gottman Couples Therapy, I will help you learn effective skills to manage conflict and find new meaning in your relationships.

"Why is this so hard? We love each other, but we can't stop fighting." I understand the hopelessness of living in a cycle of conflict. I became a couples therapist because I believe deeply in the importance of having a supportive and loving relationship--with yourself and with your partner. I will help you learn how to stop when anger, fear and hurt cause you to react in defensive and aggressive ways toward your partner. By slowing down and taking care of yourself first, you will gradually learn how to connect from a more vulnerable and honest place, creating a more satisfying and peaceful relationship together.

Has distress, trauma, or a major transition disrupted your nervous system, or caused anxiety or depression? Is emotional dysregulation negatively impacting the relationships you care about the most? If you're experiencing PTSD, relationship challenges, grief, depression, caregiver fatigue, or anxiety of what lies ahead for you and your loved ones, I can help you settle emotional distress, restore equilibrium, and develop beneficial coping skills to support personal well-being and healthier relationships. I really believe that help begins by reaching out, and I'm glad you're here! Call or text me for a free consultation.

I help adults struggling with anxiety, trauma, ADHD and painful experiences heal and make needed changes. Life is messy, complicated, and hectic. It's normal to have times when you feel stuck, overwhelmed or like you don't measure up. You may have tried to make changes on your own and keep hitting the same stumbling blocks in relationships, work or school. With sensitivity and compassion, I can help you tap into your inner resources and healing ability so you can work through stuck points and feel more at peace and in control.

Therapy provides the unique opportunity for you to adventure into and openly investigate your internal world. Emotional transformations can be akin to wading into the ocean or navigating a new trail in the forest. While these pursuits are exciting, they can also be intimidating, challenging, or frustrating at times. I view my role as your co-pilot; helping you to navigate what it is that brings you to therapy with the goal of unleashing your innate strengths and ability to overcome. I do so with a genuine curiosity and openness, integrating my training in mindfulness and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy.

Are you exhausted from carrying around memories of the past? Do you tend to not feel good enough and like you don't belong? Overwhelmed from all the changes in your life? I understand you're here because you're hurting and tired of the struggle. Your relationships with friends and loved ones are probably hurting too. I would love to help you make sense of everything that is going on and find new and compassionate ways of living.

Change is often uncomfortable so having a trusted ally and skilled clinician at your side can be essential. My goal is to help you along your path towards a balanced and healthy life. My approach is strength-based and positive. I have worked with hundreds of children, adolescents, adults and their families on almost every kind of issue. I work to balance empathy and sensitivity and yet help people find healing, move forward, and make meaning from their experiences. Nothing is wrong with you. It is possible to change negative, self-defeating patterns and emerge into a fulfilling life with greater freedom, expansion and joy.

We all long to feel connected, known, and loved. And when we don’t, it can create tremendous suffering. In response to our pain, we adapt and learn ways to cope- ultimately seeking to make intolerable feelings tolerable. But our coping strategies disconnect us from who we truly are and come at a high cost. I offer a therapeutic lifeline that empowers you to claim your inherent worth and inner knowing. I deeply respect and want to nurture the wisdom you hold inside yourself. You may worry that you are too flawed, but together we can rediscover your worthiness and the inherent beauty within you.

My passion is to come alongside clients on the journey into their true potential. This may involve correcting negative beliefs formed in the past such as "unlovable, unworthy, never enough" and learning to cope with feelings of discomfort, loneliness, and overwhelmed. Helping adult children of addicted and dysfunctional families find their way into deeper meaningful connections while letting go of codependent behaviors and building boundaries remains close to my heart. I believe clients of all stages, gender, background, nationality, and sexual identity deserve hope and healing and feel honored to journey with you.

Having had meaningful therapy experiences myself, I know what a difference it can make. I work primarily with teens and young adults and find myself connecting strongly to those who are extra hard on themselves. This may include individuals grappling with challenges such as feelings of depression and/or anxiety, tendencies towards people-pleasing and/or perfectionism, and self-critical beliefs. I also work with many client’s who are seeking a better understanding of why they feel the way they do and who are searching for further insight into who they are in this often chaotic world.

I work with adults struggling with relationship issues, such as codependency, conflict-avoidance, and people-pleasing, who want to improve their ability to communicate their needs, set boundaries, and trust themselves. I also help individuals who are experiencing significant life transitions and confusion around their identity, find clarity and richer meaning in their lives. Additionally, I have a passion for supporting those who are confronting cancer or a terminal illness, navigate and better tolerate the uncertainty, isolation and mental turmoil that often accompany these challenges.

I love working with couples because so much change is possible. I will work with you to identify and work through the painful and stuck places in your relationship, and will support you in creating a different experience of one another that honors each partner. You will find my style direct, yet compassionate; challenging, yet supportive. The change I aim for is not a superficial one, but one that transforms the relationship. My mission is to help couples create more vitality in their relationship and live with a greater sense of ease, freedom and harmony together. RLT (Relational Life Couple Therapy) & Sex Therapy Trained.

Deciding to take those initial first steps toward seeking help through psychotherapy can be challenging. Some initial concerns may include, "How will I know if the therapist is competent?" "What if they judge me?" "Will I feel comfortable telling them what I am really feeling and thinking?" These concerns are extremely common in trying to find the right therapist for you. The key phrase is "the right therapist for YOU..." Everyone is different with different needs. I encourage you to read about my experience and the services I provide in to see if I may be the right therapist for you.

Are you yet to find a therapist you feel comfortable with and can relate to? Has previous therapy “only scratched the surface” of the real reasons you are seeking help? You’re not alone. My clients often need a deep sense of connection in order to feel safe in their most vulnerable moments. Most of my clients are looking for a highly-trained psychologist who is not afraid to show her humanity nor bear witness to theirs. I aim to make you feel seen, understood, and safe as you work through difficult emotions and/or painful past experiences.

Anxiety, Conflict, Depression, Frustration, Irritability. You’re exhausted. Right now, you want something very different from what you’re experiencing. Maybe you have the exact words for it, or maybe your feelings are too overwhelming for words. Maybe there’s just numbness. Your curiosity, and mostly your desire for change, has brought you here. I’m entirely prepared to meet you. I would be honored to work together. There’s room here for what you want. You won’t have to do this alone.

My approach to therapy focuses on an empowerment method to capitalize on the intelligent and profound ways one manifests their life. I feel psychotherapy can be beneficial for any person, and the importance of a safe and comfortable environment to help enable clients to develop insight. Using different techniques to help areas of struggle or growth opportunities we will discover ways to promote one's inner self, including trusting the self and guiding one's intuition. I believe in building a relationship with my clients to have a space to process current frustrations and heartache.

Hi, I'm the clinical director at Austin Integrative Counseling and Training Center. You can learn about me and the group through our website at: inaustincounseling.com. In short, I've been practicing for more than 26 years and I am as dedicated to the art of therapy as when I started. Relationships are the foundation of good health and sense of well-being -- whether the relationship is with others or with yourself. Sometimes we need to start with the relationship with ourselves, sometimes we can go straight to the relationships with others. Either way, I'm here to help you find your way to what your are wanting in life

If you're a woman on a path of personal healing and desire to heal the world, you came to the right place. You will benefit from sessions with me if you are: Going through the motions without a real purpose or direction... Feeling disconnected from your intuition and inner wisdom... Struggling to understand who you are and what you want out of life... Knowing that you are not living up to your full potential... Feeling that you are sabotaging your own progress...Struggling with confusion and uncertainty... Sensing that you are not living your life to the fullest...Needing guidance to find clarity, direction and purpose.

I help people free themselves from the wrath of a harsh inner critic, get unstuck from unhealthy situations, and start living instead of just surviving. If you are living with anxiety, depression, unproductive anger, the impact of trauma, or relationship struggles--including parenting neurodiverse or gender-questioning children, I welcome you. I provide a safe, compassionate, emotionally attuned space so you can feel supported as we explore what brings you into therapy. Whatever your struggle, I believe it is possible to navigate pain, gain strength, and experience greater fulfillment through the therapeutic relationship we create.
