Working with children, young adults, their families and the professionals that serve them means working with complex experiences that can ripple through one's environment in ways that cannot be overlooked.
Hi, Natalie here! I am honored that you are considering therapy and have stopped by my page. I primarily serve clients ages 3 into early adulthood (age 25) who are challenged by critical life transitions and/or unresolved trauma that leads to unmanageable feelings and behaviors. Consequently, I also serve those in helping professions (e.g., education, medicine, mental health, spiritual) to combat burnout/compassion fatigue and related issues. Each client who seeks help desires a break from the overwhelming feelings that cause them to feel emotionally unwell. Thank you for letting me be part of your journey.

Hi. My name is Austin. I’m a therapist that practices primarily from an existential-humanistic perspective. I find that the world is often a confusing, disorienting, and isolating space to navigate. Our work together will go about looking deeper into how it is you have moved and continue to move through that space, the ways you’ve made meaning in your life, and discovering how you can go about living a fulfilling and satisfying life. We’ll look at the barriers that have gotten in your way, the same things that have impeded you becoming the person you wish to be, the person that you are.

I assist adult clients from various backgrounds and all walks of life. I believe that people experience many things in life that cause issues with self-esteem, perspective, and thought processes. As a result, this may require them to gain insight into their thinking and coping patterns to better understand themselves and improve their coping and decision making.

My personal journey was one that lead me to this field as a calling more than just a career. After years being a successful business owner and real estate broker, balancing career family and community I was lead towards a more balanced path.
Although I do not believe we find enlightenment, I know we can fight for peace and balance. My outlook is that people are not broken, just managing the complexity of life. I know and believe that through hard work, discipline, self - awareness and deep love for oneself and others, peace can be found. I don’t believe we need to be fixed but heard, accepted, and understood to heal!

You’ve hit a wall. You’ve done what was expected. Maybe helped others, held it together, worked hard but now you’re burned out, pissed off, or numb. Maybe you crack dark jokes to cope. Perhaps you’ve never trusted therapy, or men, or yourself. Whether you’re a teacher who’s seen too much, a man who’s always felt out of place, or someone trying to rebuild after faith, burnout, or trauma, you’re looking for something real. You want clarity, direction, and maybe just someone who gets it.
