Attachment-based Therapists in Austin, TX

Do you often struggle with stress and feel weighed down by feelings of anxiety? Are you feeling down and need to talk about what you are experiencing? Maybe it is time to take that first step and embark on a journey to mental wellness. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I am here to listen with an open mind, acceptance, respect, and without judgement. Together we can take that journey towards healing and clarity.

I now provide counseling exclusively by video chat. Give me a call and we can talk about how this works and make sure its a good fit for you! I work with adults and teenagers, and I specialize in working with individuals who live and work creatively. Many of my clients are musicians, writers, artists, actors, dancers, either professionally or for enjoyment.

I also have extensive experience working with college students and young adults, helping my clients to feel more sure of their identity and purpose.

I am an empathic therapist with 18 years therapy experience. Clients often come to me with an impaired sense of self, difficulties in relationships, and feeling unsafe in the world due to trauma/hardships in their lives. I assist my clients in transforming their deepest pain into their greatest strengths, finding passion in life, and confidence in themselves. They learn to have deep and meaningful relationships. Ideally, clients will move from a limited set of beliefs to an expansive perspective on what is possible in this life. I also love working with therapists; their personal work enhances their own practice!

My goal while working with children is to open up their capacity to grow more self-aware and socially and emotionally intelligent. This allows me to focus on them as a person and who they are capable of becoming. This approach can help with a variety of concerns your child may face including: anxiety, social-emotional issues, depression grief, behavioral concerns, and trauma-related symptoms.

Do you yearn for closer, more connected relationships? Are you a parent managing overwhelm? Does your partner’s reactivity bring out the worst in you? An accepting, compassionate, and calm presence is one of the biggest gifts we can give ourselves and our loved ones. Yet, today’s stressors make that increasingly hard to do! Imagine what it would feel like to be living your best life. To move through hardships instead of away from them. To grow rather than shrink. Imagine feeling a deep love and connection for yourself and for others. How might your life unfold differently?

This is Non-Traditional Therapy > My Clients Often: Discover what’s at the root of their patterns so they can begin to re-pattern new and healthier choices, release expectations, and create a more ideal future - Process and alleviate past relationship trauma - Explore and understand themselves on deeper levels so they are able to more authentically relate to others - Learn the skills to create internal security within themselves - Understand how to create safety and trust in their relationships. We seek to understand trauma through the lens of the nervous system and attachment style to identify patterns of reaction and relating.

Do anxiety, trauma and insecurity run your life more than your values and dreams? Do you relive the past as if it were happening right now? Your head knows better, but it fails to convince your heart otherwise. As challenging as those experiences were for the past, they continue to zap away your joy and confidence today. You might even avoid situations that trigger the feelings.

Children and best served in the relationships that surround them. I believe that when you are helping children grow into best version of themselves you include their caregivers, school and community.

As we move through life, we are faced with challenges that at times make us question who we are and how we connect with ourselves and the world around you.
