Therapists in West University, Austin, TX
I’m a person-centered Licensed Professional Counselor with over seven years of experience. My counseling philosophy centers you as the expert on your own life and a deep belief in your ability to feel what you need to feel to make the choices that are best for you, whether that’s talking, crying and laughing for a full session or processing through art, writing or mindfulness. If having space with me seems helpful, I’m going to trust your timing and terms for working through everything from relationships, school or work struggles, or how our brains work to intense life stressors like grief, trauma or body/food struggles.

We can’t get around suffering sometimes in this life, but we can learn to live with dignity and grace, and we can know joy. Whether you are having questions of a spiritual nature, feeling stuck in your life, or needing to be free of deep and abiding pain, I stand ready to walk with you on the path of healing. I can say this with confidence because I have made this journey myself. My own experience with therapy helped me to understand that human beings are not machines that break and need to be fixed. They are beings that course correct; they mold and are molded by their environment.

**Currently not accepting new clients** I am just beginning my career as a counselor and I am excited to start gaining more experience in this helping field. My focus is addressing the therapeutic needs of clients with disabilities, but I am also equipped and eager to help clients whose challenges are in the areas of anxiety, coping skills, and stress management as well.

Do you often feel misunderstood? Have you been told to toughen up because you are "too sensitive"? Do you long to feel closer to others but feel overwhelmed by the task? Having the capacity for depth and complexity can be difficult to navigate in our competitive, linear-oriented, results-driven culture. Knowing and accepting yourself for simply "you" (not who others think you should be) is an important practice to cultivate and will help release toxic stress and shame, allowing you to connect more deeply with yourself and others.

My current practice focuses on helping adults with the challenges they face. Adults and their own well-being and mental health can often be overshadowed by the immense amount of responsibility that piles on over time. In sessions with me, you can experience feeling heard, understood, accepted as you are, and cared for, as well as ways to notice any negative thoughts patterns or behaviors that can contribute to mental health issues. Challenging these thought patterns can be helpful, but the long-lasting change happens when we explore the question: "How did we get here?"

While working with my clients, we can have feelings of being paralyzed by our anxieties that can be challenging in our daily lives. We can start to feel isolated from our friends, family, even to ourselves. These barriers can feel as if we are looking at the top of a mountain without a way to get to the top. My goal for clients is for them to strive to realize their true authentic selves while gaining skills and insights that will help them navigate their journey into healing. I specialize working with adolescents and adults experiencing Generalized Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Phobias, and OCD.

There are so many things happening in your life right now and it is hard to keep up, as well as balance everything important. You’re trying to keep it together, but deep down you feel overwhelmed, and exhausted, and racing thoughts will not let you truly rest.

Sometimes we can feel stuck and not have the words to describe it. We just know something is “off.” Hopelessly searching for peace that appears to be out of reach. Our minds are constantly racing with unhelpful thoughts, our relationships are in shambles, and our inner world feels bleak. Or we may be tired of letting opportunities pass us by because of our lack of confidence in ourselves. Deep down, we know we’re capable of more, but our critical inner voices drown out our intuition and make us doubt ourselves.

It’s very difficult to see your child going through a tough time, even harder when you feel unable to do anything about it. Growing up can have many challenges (bullying, break ups, social media, and academic stress). This doesn’t include the challenges that you and your child may have experienced as a family: death/illness of a loved one, divorce, or a big move. I have been working with children/adolescents for over 10 years and have 3 children of my own. I am a licensed psychologist with both a clinical child and school psychology background which uniquely qualifies me to support you and your child during especially tough times.
