Career Counseling Therapists in Austin, TX

I am a professional creativity, leadership, and career coach, consultant, educator, and facilitator based in Austin, Texas. My areas of focus in coaching include mindfulness, creativity, organizational psychology, existential issues, spirituality, and life transitions, drawing inspiration from humanistic, existential, positive, transpersonal, and Jungian depth psychology. I help individuals and organizations tap into their innate creativity for greater insight, innovation, collaboration, and resilience. While my Ph.D. is in psychology / creativity studies, I am not a therapist or clinical psychologist, so I cannot accept insurance.

Accepting new clients. In addition to psychotherapy for anxiety and depression, I also provide counseling and coaching to clients managing change in their lives and those seeking personal growth and insight. I help clients navigate challenges presented by relationships, career , and changes in their health status due to aging, illness or injury. I work with clients seeking enhanced motivation to tackle behavioral changes related to work and health. I trained as a psychotherapist after a long career as a lawyer and enjoy helping clients focus on pragmatic goals as well as the philosophical challenges that life presents.

**ONLINE SCHEDULING, EVENINGS AVAILABLE** Life transitions, especially those involving your career , can be incredibly stressful. Whether you are struggling with a loss of identity after an unexpected job loss, crippling anxiety from being between jobs, or frustration from working a job that doesn’t fit you, I understand. Change can happen. For many people that change starts from within. It is all about recognizing the unconscious beliefs that are holding you back. You can overcome these self-imposed barriers to be successful in ways you never thought possible. With over 15 years of experience, I can help.

Are you ready to make a change or need help figuring out how to move forward? Are you ready for more in your career , your relationships, or need relief from stress? Maybe you're not feeling yourself. I am here and want to help you. I have a broad base of experience and specialize in helping with relationships and premarital counseling, career development and changes, stabilizing mood and functioning in daily life, recovery from substance abuse, family building and infertility, developing new ways of relating to others as well as consultation for clinical leaders & non-profit managers.

I am a career counselor and psychotherapist. My approach is to collaboratively explore your thoughts, beliefs and life experiences to help you gain greater self-knowledge and enable you to live a more satisfying life. Whether you are in the midst of a life struggle or not necessarily in crisis but looking to improve your general quality of life and well being, I believe our work together will empower you to cope with life difficulties in a productive way as you break negative patterns and have a deeper connection to yourself and others.

I love working with clients who are looking to grow into more connected, compassionate, and confident people. My clients tend to be adults or teens with self-esteem and identity concerns, challenging relationships, anxiety, depression, and interest in career counseling . Finding the "right fit" is important, and my style of therapy is well suited for clients looking for a therapist who is gentle but firm, earnest, open, and warm. . If your goals include exploration of your experiences to better understand your thoughts and feelings, to be kinder to yourself, or to more fully embrace your life, then we may be a great fit!

Maybe you're wondering "Is this all there is?" Or perhaps you're feeling like you're living a version of groundhog day over and over and over and over again. No problem. My coaching practice is focused on helping my clients get unstuck and find meaning and purpose in their lives. After a few sessions, you become more mindful of the thoughts you're thinking and the choices you're making that you are keeping you from getting what you really want.

Most people end up at some point in their lives feeling angry, depressed, anxious, sad, lost, useless, directionless, etc.—feeling like a lot of things aren’t worth even the slightest effort. These are all natural feelings, until we dwell on them and find ourselves too buried and out of breath to even think about dealing with them. Once stifled, we may develop unhealthy patterns: we might isolate, doubt we are worth the soil we stand on, burn bridges, or obsess about things past, future, or out of our control. We need and deserve help. I am so glad you made your way here, recognizing you are worthy of this investment in yourself.

Time is our most valuable commodity. I work with individuals and couples to support them in making growth choices. This enhances their time wherever it is spent, such as in relationships, career , with family, or enjoying hobbies and recreation. I offer psychotherapy or executive coaching. My career and personal development services take into account the changes ahead for most industries as they incorporate new technologies such as A.I and robotics, and the effects of this on the individual’s career path and decisions. I also offer career testing for ages 14 and up. Email is the fastest way to reach me.

Has life stress reached a peak? Sometimes we need a safe place to sort through it all. ​No one teaches us what to do with anxiety, depression, anger, grief, or pain. What to do with setbacks, lack of confidence, or loneliness. How to fix a broken relationship, or how to get yourself out of a difficult situation you feel stuck in. Together we can sort through your current life stress, bring understanding, new perspectives, wisdom, and healing.
