Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Downtown, Austin, TX

We have all had times when we want to withdraw within ourselves to avoid situations, interactions, or undesirable environments. I work with clients dealing with family/generational trauma that has left them feeling insecure, unsure of themselves, and less worthy. I want to partner with you to create a safe space through counseling, a holistic therapeutic approach that may include trauma -focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and yoga that is customized for you and your goals.

I am all about empowering and guiding adults on their journey to self-discovery. I will partner with you to achieve your desired emotional and life goals. When counseling is used effectively, it can be a powerful tool for all areas of your life. If you are ready for change and commit to applying the skills you learn, you will walk away from counseling with the necessary tools to face life’s challenges. My approach to therapy is simple, I will focus on symptom reduction and provide you with skills to practice between sessions to help you become self-reliant. Don't let this moment escape, start creating evolution in your life.

We all have a need to tell our story. Finding a therapist to help you through this journey called life is an important decision. Now more than ever you may be struggling with uncertainty, anxiety and depression. At its best, psychotherapy is a process of mutual discovery and a relationship that unfolds over time.

Trauma ? Infidelity? Desire personal growth? Letting go of unhealthy or destructive ways of thinking - even when we know they aren't working - can be difficult and hurtful. With support, however, even the most challenging issues can be explored and addressed to help create a clearer path to the life/relationship you choose. Every person comes to therapy with a beautifully unique cultural background and personal history. I celebrate these individual differences. Ask about my specialized training for treating trauma ! I am also a Board approved Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in Texas.

I have been providing psychotherapy to individual adults (ages 21+) dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, burnout, compassion fatigue, trauma and challenging transitions since 2013. Through my Master of Science program in Clinical Mental Health from the University of North Texas (UNT), I began working with clients in residential addiction treatment, including licensed professionals, trauma informed therapy, and training in Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR). Yet with the knowledge and experience I have obtained, the fact remains that only YOU are the expert of YOU and the CEO of your life!

Are you caught between worlds? My online practice caters to cross-culturals. As a first generation Austinite and global citizen, I see you. Do you need space to unpack ancestral and intergenerational trauma ? Is your relationship strained by cultural differences? Moved and feeling homesick? Cultural fluidity, exploring identity, finding belonging, and navigating transition are common themes that lead folx to my practice. Authentic living is your birthright. You don't have to transform generational cycles on your own. I invite you to receive the support you deserve on your journey. When we heal ourselves, we heal the world.

As a therapist, my approach is to provide support in a compassionate setting where you can share any struggles you may be facing in life.

I frequently use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered, Solution-focused, Strength based, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma counseling and more. With warmth and acceptance, I strive to be supportive in helping you explore who you are and what you want in life. My goal is to meet you where you are at by seeking to understand what type of change and goals are most important to you.

You just want a soft place to land. You’re a sensitive woman and feel things more deeply. Lately, you feel lost, disconnected, and wonder if you can feel better. You thought you were ok but experiences from the past have reappeared. The anxiety and sadness have crept in. No one can tell because you hold it all together. Exercise, eating healthy, scrolling, reading about what you're going through, and talking to those closest to you isn’t helping anymore. You’re exhausted and it’s taken its toll. You want to feel less shame, more confidence; no longer feel like the past is in control; and gain a sense of calm and freedom from this.
