Christian Therapists in Austin, TX

As a person, do you find yourself struggling to maintain a balance between fulfilling spiritual, cultural, familial and societal obligations? Do you feel like you have lost your sense of identity while juggling such obligations? In a world full of unrealistic and forced expectations, people often are accused of being rebellious, guilty or selfish when they choose to focus on themselves and their needs. Secretly battling and wounded, many people find themselves to be depressed, anxious, angry, disappointed and unfulfilled.

If you're seeking counseling, chances are you're struggling. Perhaps you feel stuck, unsatisfied or defeated. You might protest when you read these words, but you have what it takes to handle life’s challenges. I believe the key to whole and healthy living is your identity. My therapeutic approach sees each client as a piece of their whole family system, living in patterns and roles that have been shaped and formed by the relationships they grew up around. I am committed to providing safety, support, and encouragement in a non-judgmental setting for clients to uncover insights, abilities, and confidence to be their best self.

I specialize in working with couples and young adults who feel suffocated by anxious thoughts and overwhelmed by emotions.

I know from my own path to wellness that my therapy experience has freed me to live with intention. I feel honored to walk alongside others as they move toward self-discovery and acceptance.

I want to walk alongside of you to bring healing by helping you investigate triggers, release the hurt you are carrying, get the comfort you need, and get connected to love and self-compassion.

You know that sometimes life can be a lot. Sometimes our mind powers through and you are none the worse for wear. Other times, the brain gets stuck on sad or scared or angry. We want to let go and move on, but the restless nights and tiring days seem to last forever. All too often, the problems seep into relationships with the ones you love the most. During these phases of life, counseling can be the rope that you can use to pull yourself free – to get unstuck. Unstuck means you feel again in control of your emotions, your body, and your thoughts. Unstuck means you feel confident and safe in your relationships.

Are you seeking a deeper connection in your walk with God and your mental health? I help my clients find freedom from the shackles of trauma, depression, anxiety and addiction so they can discover authentic wholeness, connection, resilience and purpose in Christ. I meet you on a deep spiritual level to help you mature in relationship with the Lord, and walk alongside you to heal the burdens that come with this broken world. We know that this life was never promised to be easy, but suffering can be redeemed through the renewal of your mind and spirit.

Life can really be unpredictable at times. Whether it be a death, a diagnosis, career change, or divorce. Maybe parenting has more tears than happiness. Maybe your marriage isn't what you expected. Life can throw you curveballs and the constant pivoting and planning and required flexibility can weigh you down. You're not alone. We live in a world where fear and anxiety take the wheel but we crave solid ground. You just want a "normal" day; whatever that means.

What imprisons you? Is it your constant overthinking? Your ruthless inner critic? The unrelenting need to be perfect? The guilt of wanting more and battling to be content? Do you ultimately feel you don't know who you are?
