Emotionally Focused Therapists in Austin, TX

Later, we get into deeper, underlying issues using techniques from AEDP, CT, EFT.
I’m here to help you feel less overwhelmed, stuck, hopeless or helpless. To help you quiet your brain/body, organize your thoughts, and figure out not just where all this stuff comes from, but what you can do about it. Sometimes I help people find answers inside themselves they already knew, sometimes I help people get outside of themselves and use insights from our fellow humans, from nature, science, spirituality, philosophy, you name it. I’m a straight talker, AND I don’t judge— literally, I can teach you how to use a nonjudgmental stance— and possibly most importantly, I bring some FUN to this process!

I enjoy working with young adults looking to better understand and shift their unconscious relationship patterns in order to feel more connected to themselves and those around them. Together, we identify where defense mechanisms might be inhibiting you from authentic connection. And more deeply process the underlying thoughts, feelings, and belief systems enforcing these undesired ways of relating. My ultimate goal is to help connect you with your true authentic self and then be able to connect with others from that place.

Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist
Are you stuck in an uncomfortable situation and feel hopeless about what to do next? Many of my clients find they are tired of giving up parts of themselves in order to survive or fit in. It can be difficult keeping up with the demands of career, family and friends. It is common to feel misunderstood, lonely, isolated or alienated.

My work is warm, slow, emotionally focused, and somatically attuned to allow your inner wisdom to shine through and lead.
You love deeply, but somehow, connection still feels just out of reach. I work with people who feel trapped in painful patterns, with partners, with family, or with themselves. They long for deeper intimacy, secure connection, and freedom from the old wounds that keep echoing through their relationships. Their goal is simple but profound: to heal, reconnect, and live with greater emotional safety and authenticity.

I am motivated by those methods such as Imago therapy and EFT which have worked so well for so many in the past to help couples develop a high degree of safe attachment in their relationships.
I also have worked with addiction for over 30 years. It has been my experience that once people really understand the price they are paying to stay addicted, they become willing to do whatever it takes to get over that addiction. My job is to help that process at whatever stage they are in.

I specialize in helping individuals and couples break generational cycles through Emotionally Focused Therapy, attachment work, CBT, and mindfulness.
Are you juggling multiple roles—whether as a family member, a professional / student, or a creative who marches to the beat of their own drum? I see you. You might be struggling with imposter phenomenon or burnt-out from perfectionism. Maybe you’re dealing with a stressful transition & unsure if you can keep up the superwoman act. Or, family expectations are becoming too much. The point is: You. Are. Exhausted. Leading to anxiety, shame, isolation, poor health, & low self-esteem. If feelings like "I'm not good enough", "I don't belong", or "I don't even know who I am", keep you from experiencing true rest, know you are not alone.

My training is in evidence based practices for that include Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), EMDR, PACT, EFT, and psychodynamic work.
Seeking out therapy can be both a difficult and a rewarding choice. Often clients come in with problems that are incredibly painful, stressful, and frightening. After working through their issues clients are often surprised to find they have gained deep insight, compassion, joy, and wisdom for themselves and others. They often look back at their suffering and can view it as the "best problem of their life." I find turning difficult life circumstances into this best problem focus is the goal of therapy for many of my clients.

Accepting new clients for in-person.
We all encounter major stress and loss and often we recover well on our own. Sometimes life becomes overwhelming, confusing and too big to process alone. You can reach out for support, and you don’t have to do it alone. Through therapy, you have the power to focus on what helps you learn and grow. I am passionate about helping clients connect to their core values in therapy. We'll use mindfulness-based therapies to help you become aware of thoughts and behaviors that prevent you from experiencing a joyful and authentic life. I enjoy using humor, creativity and self-compassion in my practice.
