Therapists in Austin, TX

Have you ever felt overshadowed by the inner critic, battling silently with trauma or low self-esteem? Are past or current challenging relationships holding you back from embracing the life you deserve? I specialize in healing trauma, enhancing self-esteem, and mending relationships, employing EMDR, IFS, CPT, and DBT, alongside mindfulness, somatic work, and creative expression for profound healing and empowerment If you're seeking to rebuild your confidence, foster healthy relationships, and cultivate a positive self-view for lasting well-being, let's navigate this transformative journey together.

Are you easily triggered or activated in life? Has your childhood trauma shown up in ways you and your loved ones struggle to understand or work through. Do you have unresolved emotions from abandonment, shame, or trauma? Do you desire to implement positive changes in your day to day. Maybe you encountered traumatic experiences throughout your adulthood that you could use assistance on processing and tools to implement positive coping skills leading to healing. If so, we're here to help you through that journey.

Life's challenges can lead to a range of difficulties in our relationships, work, parenting, and processing of trauma and grief. Whether your life feels overwhelming or underwhelming, I believe that the care and curiosity that you find in therapy can go a long way in helping you explore new possibilities. I seek to provide a warm and non-judgmental space to process your concerns, develop emotional awareness, and use authentic self-reflection to find new paths forward.

Therapy can transform both our inner and outer worlds by making sense of our stories, releasing what no longer serves us, and living more fully in the present. I do this work best with people who are overly responsible, self-critical, and chronically nervous, tense, or guilty. You might identify as a perfectionist or people-pleaser, and might say you "grew up too fast." Common goals include getting in touch with alienated parts of the self, freedom from self-criticism, healing from emotional abuse and neglect, navigating difficult relationships with family, and relief from symptoms of PTSD, OCD, anxiety disorders, or depression.

We all just want to feel comfortable in our own skin. We want to live our lives feeling inspired, happy, and purposeful. Somewhere along the way we may have sought out external things to achieve this goal: drugs, alcohol, relationships, jobs, social circles, money, status, etc. These things work for a little while…until they don’t. We finally get to a place where we realize we need help turning inward. We become willing to examine our trauma and core wounds and heal from what is in the way of us emerging into our fullest selves. This is where transformation begins.

We all have experiences in life that are beyond our ability to cope. Following such events, many people feel distress for weeks, months, or years after.

If you're interested in taking steps to change your relationship to your trauma, then we may be a good fit.
