As a therapist and family mediator, I've heard from clients that I'm thoughtful, speak plainly, and have a calm, calming presence. They like my caring and humor. Sometimes I'm insightful. I'm not easily thrown by things like conflict, graphic stories, or things you think nobody will understand. I sometimes see people under a lot of stress, and I try not to judge anyone by their worst decisions or moments. I've paid a lot of attention to family dysfunction, trauma, abuse, race/racism, gender and sexuality, cultural differences, and more. I'm always ready to talk about how our experiences shape us.
A variety of clients have found me helpful, so I'm not one-dimensional. But my specialty is relationships. As a therapist and family mediator, I work a lot with couples and families, or individuals dealing with a difficult relationship. I also support people with a divorce or separation; or struggling to co-parent afterwards. (I run Austin Divorce Groups.)
Working with a therapist or family mediator requires good chemistry. An online profile only tells you so much. To get a better feel for me and whether my style will work for you, feel free to reach out, and we can schedule a free phone consult.
