Adults Therapists in Zilker, Austin, TX

In therapy, I seek to provide a warm and non-judgmental space for you to process your concerns. Life is hard, and we often find we find ourselves caught up in challenges in our relationships, in our personal lives, and at work. Whether your life feels overwhelming or underwhelming, I believe that the care, courage, and curiosity that you find in therapy can go a long way in helping you find new possibilities and solutions that work for you.

With an eye toward your past but with feet firmly in the present, I help people make sense of what they've tried sort it out on your own. You may have asked, what else can I do for myself, for my relationship? Reaching out for help can be scary, but it can be a major step toward feeling more satisfied with you life.

"ITS OKAY TO BE SCARED, BEING SCARED MEANS YOU'RE ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING REALLY, REALLY BRAVE." Mandy Hale. Sometimes people struggle with the idea of going to see a therapist and finding the one that is right for them. Having rapport with your counselor is the most important thing. Once there is rapport with your counselor, the conversations will not feel forced/coerced ...you get to be in the present and work on why you came to therapy to begin with. Each person is unique, so I will use a variety of techniques to meet your presenting issue.

**Now supporting clients in Texas and Minnesota** I believe walking into therapy is one of the bravest gifts you can give yourself. I try to create a calm, safe environment for clients. My style is relational, warm, kind, and encouraging which makes it easy for my clients to relax. I have a genuine, down-to-earth personality and I speak to clients in much the same way that I would talk to a friend or any other person in my life. I am not just a “smile and nod” therapist nor am I just going to stare at you until you start talking. I much prefer to roll up my sleeves and “sit in the suck” with you to make real progress.

I am a Certified Gottman Couples Therapist, practicing couples therapy using John Gottman's research-based approach (www.gottman.com). He has studied more than 3,000 couples and has identified the factors that distinguish happy from unhappy couples in long-term relationships. Using questionnaires, I would first assess your relationship on these factors and then target the therapy on the identified problem areas. If you feel disconnected from your partner or are locked in conflict, I can teach you some new skills to manage your conflict more productively and develop more intimacy and closeness.

Welcome and thank you for making yourself a priority. My calling in life is to help you realize that you have a tremendous capacity for doing hard things. We will discover your innate abilities to live the life you want, in spite of the waves. I'm passionate about working with people who seek to know their own mind and values and to empower themselves to manage anxiety, OCD, depression and challenging life transitions. Together we will explore why you do what you do and work to unlearn limiting beliefs, modify unhelpful behaviors, and incline you towards intention and wholeness.

I believe that it takes tremendous courage for an individual to reach out for counseling. People often take this step when they are feeling stuck or stagnant, unable to find relief and solutions on their own. I view my work with my clients as a partnership: I bring clinical knowledge and experience to the alliance and my clients bring their strengths, their inner wisdom, and their readiness to explore. While working together I provide a safe, comfortable and informative environment in which the client can find healing, seek solutions and create strategies that will bring about lasting change.
