Awareness. It is often what is missing when you are feeling overwhelmed, out of control, or trapped by negative patterns in your life. I will work with you to help you grow your awareness, to understand the factors within yourself, others, and the world around you that are contributing to your unhelpful thoughts, feelings, and actions. By collaborating together to reveal these hidden factors, we will bring useful processes and tools into sessions to help you set goals that move you toward greater balance in your life.

Caseload Currently FULL. I will update when I have openings through telehealth and in person visits. I have been providing psychotherapy and behavioral health counseling to diverse population of adults with a full spectrum of emotional and psychological needs since 2010. I have witnessed many of my clients progress and graduate out of counseling after we have worked together on anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship distress, chronic pain, health behaviors, compulsions, and mild addiction.

You are welcome to reach out to inquire about availability or a warm referral to one of my colleagues.

Anxiety is meant to keep you safe from possible threats, but, when it gets too active, anxiety can be exhausting. The mind may race with questions and worries that don't have solutions. The body can respond with tension and feel like a current of electricity has been turned on. Your emotions may go from zero to sixty and be more reactive. You may view the world through a lens of danger. It can take a toll on how present you are in your life, your job, and your relationships.

I specialize in working with children and adolescents, as well as their caregivers. I enjoy working collaboratively with clients and utilizing methods that best fit each individual's needs. I have experience working with individuals dealing with presenting concerns such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief & loss, behavioral difficulties and trauma. When working with children I utilize play therapy, an approach that allows children to communicate through their natural language of play. Underlying all techniques is the personal relationship built with clients. In addition to individual therapy, I provide therapy groups for parents using Child Parent Relationship Therapy.

I am experienced at helping to transform depression, anxiety, relationship problems, addictions, and other struggles through a variety of active techniques: Psychodynamic therapy with a Jungian orientation, expressive arts therapy, imago therapy for couples, action methods for groups, and mindfulness processes. With leaders and organizations, I use a dynamic set of processes that help to transform conflict and develop emotional intelligence and authenticity. I also am a licensed LPC supervisor and train facilitators to use these techniques with their clients.

Are you and your partner stuck in the negative loop of repeatedly fighting about the same issues without ever resolving anything? Do you believe if your partner just changed x, y &/or z... you would finally be happy? Has your relationship 'gone off in the ditch' and you need some help getting it back on the road? I specialize in teaching concrete and practical skills that are easily applied to every day life - skills needed to create and maintain a healthy relationship based on mature love and respect. If you want a lasting, loving relationship let's get started today!

Feeling anxious? Is life overwhelming & you have tried seeking answers only to experience frustration? Maybe you're feeling discouraged or depressed and it's difficult to manage even the smallest details of your day. Whatever your unique situation, you've come to a point in which you realize things need to change. I am currently accepting new patients and LPC Associates seeking supervision toward LPC licensure.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in TX. I specialize in anxiety with a focus on social and relationship anxiety. I value the collaborative process with clients, you are the expert in your own life. However, I am not just here to listen, I am here to guide and will help you find tools and solutions. If you are feeling paralyzed by your anxiety, struggling with emotional eating, or telling yourself there is something wrong with you I will work to help you change that narrative, practice acceptance, and find tools that work for you. I offer televideo therapy evenings and weekends.

Life's struggles may be knocking you down but they don't have to knock you out. Asking for help sometimes takes a leap of faith but taking that first step can make all the difference in the world! I can help you build the emotional resourcefulness needed to break out of a cycle of anxiety and depression or self-destructive ways of coping. If you feel like you are avoiding life more than you are living it, stop the cycle by prioritizing your mental and emotional health. Therapy is a courageous decision and an investment in your long-term well-being. If you are ready, things can change.

What if no matter what you’ve been through, the healing and transformation you seek are already alive within you, just waiting for the right conditions so they can emerge? What if, rather than being broken or needing to “get over it already”, you and your experience are actually filled with innate intelligence, but you’ve just needed someone you trust who can help connect you to your own living wisdom? These ancient truths are the foundations from which I practice. They also just so happen to be supported by the latest plethora of neuroscience, and my own personal and professional experience. The change you seek wants to happen.

SORRY, I'M NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Here's a nickel's worth of free advice: These listings are a good place to start (kudos for seeking support - there is not a single one of us who doesn't need it), but there is no paragraph so eloquent that it can substitute for sitting down with someone and finding out who they are and how it feels to talk with them. Meet with as many people as is necessary to find someone you truly trust. Don't settle. There are lots of therapists - yours should be awesome.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, unfulfilled, or kind of lost? You don't have to deal with your struggles alone. I would love to hear your story and walk beside you on your journey to change and personal growth. I consider it a great privilege to be a part of the uniqueness of your inner world. I believe you are the expert in your own life and are already equipped with the capacity to heal. My goal is to provide you with a safe, compassionate, and accepting environment for you to comfortably share your thoughts and feelings.

Please be aware that I currently have a long waiting list and am not accepting new clients at this time. I am a private practitioner in the Austin area who provides individual counseling and couples counseling. In my work with individuals, anxiety, depression and relationship issues are frequent concerns. In my practice, I strive to provide an atmosphere that is caring and supportive but that also challenges you to your full growth and potential. I believe that change takes place in the context of an honest, trusting relationship in which clients feel both accepted and empowered.

There are times along our journey where having support can make all the difference. Living in our fast paced world, internal and external challenges can lead us to feel stuck and confused about how to move forward in our lives. We can feel a loss of connection to ourselves. These feelings can serve as a way of getting our attention that signal the need for growth, new understanding or a shift in perspective.

My hope for every client is to obtain the highest benefit possible from counseling. I strive to join with each client at the point they feel most comfortable in order to begin the journey of permanent change. By uncovering the inner strengths that everyone possesses, I work with clients to overcome challenging life obstacles while partnering with them to assure the counseling direction is a perfect fit.
