Gottman Method Therapists in Austin, TX

Loss is everywhere and sometimes we need to tell our loss story over and over again. I offer a safe place to discuss loss and transition as well trauma whether past or current. My practice is client-centered and we begin our work where you are presently. If you are seeking couples counseling, my practice is informed by training through the Gottman method . I also provide parent coaching and specialize in working with parents of toddlers.

Specializing in couples counseling, marital & pre-marital therapy, relationship coaching and affair/betrayal recovery. Over the past 15 years, I have guided couples in healing and strengthening their relationship by utilizing evidenced based models including the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. My purpose is to help couples enhance communication, manage conflict and increase intimacy. I am passionate about partnering with couples who want to build a strong foundation for a loving, fulfilling and healthy relationship at any stage.

***currently full and not accepting new clients*** I have 10 years' clinical experience providing individual and couples therapy to adults. Every step we take has its mirror in the brain; in therapy you have a chance to re-write important parts of your story and support to move in new directions. I have extensive experience as a generalist mental health provider, working with anxiety, depression, major life changes, and relationship struggles. My clinical work has specialized in the LGBTQ+ community and I am comfortable with diverse sexual, gender, and relationship presentations.

I believe that we hold the ability to challenge ourselves, to grow through maximizing our strengths, and finding unique ways to add to the best parts that already exist within us. I have found that through sharing a space where openness and understanding (and a little bit of humor) are present, you also have the ability to flourish, whether that be through walking the journey alone or with the added support of those who love and care for you. I focus on helping adults and adolescents, both individuals and couples, with a variety of issues, including anxiety/stress, self-esteem, depression, communication, relationships, and trauma.

I provide an honest, casual approach that uses science, compassion, and intuition along with an active, participatory style; my goal is for our work to feel like a 2-way conversation, not a lecture. Regarding treatment modality, I come from a mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral approach. This means that I teach mindfulness as a way to discover efficient solutions. While expertise in the treatment modality used is important, the modality itself is secondary in importance to your trust in me. To this end, I listen to more than just your circumstances; I get to know you and adapt to your unique personality.

**Only accepting group therapy clients at this time** I am an individual, couple and group therapist. My clients often relate to one of these categories: leaders, helpers and achievers who show up for others and need some support for themselves; adults struggling with anxiety, shame, imposter syndrome, perfectionism; big feelers; those with painful childhoods/family relationships; worriers; individuals interested in personal growth.

I provide psychotherapy, EMDR, and guidance for adults, couples, families, and adolescents. My ideal client is one who is ready to begin the journey towards a better functioning family, and/or a happier lifestyle. The best outcomes for children involve working with parents and the family system, as well as the child. I specialize in trauma-informed cognitive-behavioral therapy and EMDR; as well as attachment-based psychotherapy. With couples, I primarily use the Gottman Method and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. In my work with adults I vary between cognitive behavioral with mindfulness approaches with underpinnings of attachment theory and a strengths perspective.

You have likely arrived here because you are looking for support or help. Something doesn't feel right. Maybe you want to make a change in your life, within yourself, or in your relationship.

Hi there. First, I'd like to wish you well -- especially as you work with a psychotherapist for movement in both your inner and outer lives, including in your relationships.

My ideal client is human; inherently flawed and curious. This human is seeking collaboration, a non-judgmental space in which to grow, thrive, and learn through relational education between themselves and ultimately with others.

The decision made to show up in therapy is a huge first step to move from surviving and stagnation to thriving and introspection. It is my honor whenever I have the opportunity to take this journey with you.
