GEHA Therapists in Austin, TX

Times are tough, people aren’t. The world is changing and pressures seem to be coming from all sides, creating a sense of chaos. This stress and frustration, sometimes added to preexisting feelings of anxiety, fear, anger and depression has taken a toll on all of us. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you discover nonproductive patterns and learn how to navigate the road toward acceptance, love, awareness, forgiveness, and recovery. I work with you to discover a better path forward, believing that this is a lifelong journey that enables us to appreciate the mountaintop experiences, and to cope with the valleys.

I enjoy working with people who want change, but don't know where to start. I specialize in helping people who grew up in difficult family situations and now struggle with relationships and/or depression and anxiety. We can call it trauma, complex trauma, borderline personality disorder or just being a person in this world. I work with people by thinking about relationships and attachment, and I also use evidence based practices including EMDR for trauma, DBT for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, and CBT for help understanding the inner workings of our minds and making changes to how we go through life.

We all want to live in alignment with our values, pursuing our goals and passions, but we can get stuck at times, causing anxiety or distress. Sometimes the cause is a past trauma, negative self-concept, difficulty with coping, or something unexpected. I love to help people uncover and examine the roots of themselves, their thoughts, and their habits. This is how we gain awareness and the ability to make important inner shifts. My approach to therapy can be summed up with this quote from the poet Rumi: “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”

As an autistic person, my treatment is embedded in a philosophy of affirming care that respects neurodiversity and differences. I have an affinity for providing services to LGBTQ+ teens. I work collaboratively to figure out each individual's goals and treatment needs. My clients have often felt misunderstood, unseen, marginalized, or have struggled with substance abuse. In our work together, I seek to provide clients with an experience of repair: if I don't understand, I will clarify and try harder. If I mess up, I will apologize. And I will always do my best to see the person sitting in front of me.

I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to allow you to process. You are the author and main character in Your story. I am here to walk along side of you toward in achieving the goals you wish to accomplish. We are better together, and together we can achieve it. Let's glow and grow together.

For people who struggle with anxiety and depression, other mental health problems, relationships, past or recent trauma, or attention issues, finding a good therapist can feel like an insurmountable challenge. Finding one who takes your insurance, is trauma informed, an LGBTQIA+ ally, culturally affirming, and actually "gets" you can feel like winning the lottery! We really want that for you. Live Oak Collective was founded with the goal of connecting dynamic therapists with Texans who want to heal, grow, change, and challenge themselves.

It can be hard to find a therapist who understands how living with marginalized identities impact the way we show up in the world—and for ourselves. I take a culturally-responsive and somatic (mind-body centered) approach and value authenticity and inclusivity in my work. I support individuals in understanding how their experiences, relationships, identities, and culture impact who they are and their behaviors and interactions in the world. I specialize in working with young adults, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals, and 1st and 2nd generation immigrants experiencing life transitions.

As a counselor, my belief is we do the best we can with what we know. I believe there is a need behind behaviors and once that need is identified and addressed, new behaviors can develop. We need a space that we can be heard, validated, and learn new ways to tackle difficulties in our lives. I specialize in working with children and families with concerns such as anger, anxiety, depression, grief and social problems by increasing understanding and coping strategies.

My therapeutic style is warm and understanding. I believe in meeting my clients where they're at and allowing them to move at their own pace while simultaneously challenging them to work towards their treatment goals. My approach combines solution-focus, dialectical and cognitive-behavioral, with a heavy dose of mindfulness.

No matter what brings you to therapy, I work with you to identify and heal the unhealthy attachment styles and trauma responses that are painful barriers in your life today. These barriers are often responsible for all the negative beliefs we have about ourselves now, that only hold us back from our best potential. Our work together teaches you how to break these cycles while gaining a new, healthy perception of yourself today, as well as for the painful issue(s) that brought you to therapy. You will evolve with new insight, awareness, and love for yourself! It's a beautiful transformation and an honor to witness.
