Therapists for Teens in Austin, TX

I have adolescent individual, teen couples, & family counseling experience.
I work successfully with youth struggling in their everyday lives. Examples include anxiety over internal conflicts, grades, peers, & parents. I enjoy working with adults as they navigate new transitions i.e. marriage, parenthood or experience the challenges of parenthood. I'm interested in helping individuals & families deal with end of life planning trying to answer the awkward question, "So, what do you want to do?" What life saving measures should be taken if you become ill? What relationships need to be repaired? I want to help facilitate this difficult topic with elderly parents or terminally ill youth.

Trouble with your Teen?
Communication is difficult in any relationship, but even harder between a teenager and parent as your child tries to become independent while still dependent on you. My job is to get you both talking...the same language...so that your relationship becomes closer, not more frayed and distant especially before they are off to college or on their own.

Prior to private practice, I treated both adolescent and adult clients in a variety of settings; hospitals, schools, and community mental health clinics.
Often it is a life crisis that brings people to therapy; whether it is internal or external. Making the connection of trust and support with the therapist is the first step to the work. I believe in the power of therapy to change patterns that interfere with relationships and satisfaction in life. Over time I have developed great confidence in the benefit of exploring family of origin relationships and how they play out in life. Understanding these patterns is often crucial to change and improvement in anxiety and depression.

I have worked considerably with pre- teen, adolescent, and adult clients.
There is no doubt that life can get hard, and sometimes we just need to talk about it. I use a very heartfelt and humanistic approach when it comes to therapy because as a human being myself, I have seen my own share of adversity and strife. I use a cognitive behavioral approach as well. I truly believe the way one thinks greatly influences their emotions and behaviors. Every person has a story, and I seek to get to know that story. I feel in order to truly understand where one is in life, it is important to understand where they have been.
