Therapists in East Riverside, Austin, TX

What I bring to my clients is recognizable and sustainable progress toward the changes they most desire. All you need right now, is to be frustrated enough to be looking for something different. Effective. Real change work requires curiosity, courage, persistence, & vulnerability. The reality is that you have powerful reasons (consciously & subconsciously) why you might feel inclined to avoid or even to resist... changing the unwanted circumstances in your life. With that being said, I understand the mystery of how we end up resisting desired changes, but more importantly, how we can finally make our desired changes start to happen.

I am currently offering a sliding scale, as we all deal with these extraordinary times. Living a human life can be hard. Each of us is likely to encounter problems or dilemmas that leave us feeling depressed, anxious or overwhelmed. We may have been hurt a while ago but still unable to get past it. We may seek relief yet not find resolution. Often we are caught between wanting to get through something, yet enacting ineffective behaviors meant to keep us safe. This is when it can be helpful to have someone help us face what life is asking from us.

You were brought up to talk a certain way, live a certain way, look a certain way and love a certain way. But deep down, you don't believe much of that anymore. So, you hide. You don't want to be a disappointment to your friends & family. The constant pushing down of your beliefs, thoughts, and feelings is killing you and getting harder and harder to keep from spilling onto every part of your life. I help millennials dig out from under the mess. To accept & celebrate all aspects of their identities and to improve their relationships both in and out.

Life is constantly changing which can bring unexpected situations that may be difficult to manage. I'm passionate about working with my clients to gain a better understanding of both their past and present challenges. This may include exploring what gives life purpose, hope, and meaning while also increasing insight, resilience and flexibility to face difficult situations. You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges and transitions alone. Although we can't change all difficult situations, we can work together to uncover the blocks that may be preventing you from living the full life that you desire.

Something isn't working. Maybe the conflict, or lack of connection, in your relationship is leaving you hurt and hopeless. Or you've taken the hard step of ending a relationship, but now don't know how to avoid making the same mistakes with your next one. Perhaps, like many, the last few years have left you stressed and burnt out at work, and you're looking for a new sense of purpose or meaning. Maybe, on paper, everything looks good, yet you still aren't happy. It's easy to get overwhelmed and discouraged; to not know what to do.

Do you desire more joy in your life? Would you like to learn how to be your own healer and trust your intuition vs. living life from fear? Life may be painful, but you needn’t suffer or “feel stuck.” There is a way to live life to the fullest without being attached to emotions. Intuitive psychotherapy is where the therapist uses their own intuition in the healing process. Clients also learn how to develop and trust their intuition through specialized interventions.

My approach is centered around helping you create wholeness within yourself. Once your goals for therapy are established, we will focus on achieving what you envision. We will identify and help you break through old patterns that hold you back in life. As you extricate yourself from past acculturation, you will get in touch with your beautiful core Self. At the end of therapy with me, you will feel a sense of restoration and experience freedom from your emotional baggage.
