Parenting Therapists in Austin, TX
You may be used to holding everything together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted on the inside. Maybe you are navigating stress, anxiety, burnout, major life changes, or the pressure of always needing to be “fine.” Therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what is happening, and start feeling more grounded and in control.

Are you facing relationship challenges that are too complex or difficult for standard, one-size-fits-all therapy?
When you are dealing with deep-rooted conflicts, cultural or religious differences, a painful betrayal of trust, or a feeling that you and your partner are stuck in repeating gridlocked arguments, you don’t just need a therapist who is trained in general clinical models. You need a specialist, a heart surgeon of relationships, who understands the complex, challenging relationship dilemmas and can help you learn how to communicate, manage conflict, and increase connection and intimacy with a structured proven approach.

Living with anxiety, panic, trauma, or OCD can feel exhausting and isolating—like your mind never gets a break. If you’re stuck in constant worry, intrusive “what if” thoughts, panic attacks, or repetitive OCD loops, you’re not broken and you’re not alone. I’m a therapist who has personally recovered from an anxiety disorder, and I specialize in helping clients move beyond just coping to real, lasting recovery using evidence-based treatment. Therapy with me is active, supportive, and focused on helping you regain a sense of calm, confidence, and control. Together, we’ll work toward a life where anxiety no longer runs the show.

This may include improving existing relationships, genuine forgiveness, recovering from toxic breakups, abusive relationships, estrangement, divorce, co- parenting, infidelity, and attachment injuries.
Seeking out therapy can often 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 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 for therapy for many of my clients.

Life seldom goes smoothly. Dealing with its ups and downs can be hard, throw in a crisis or two and life can feel overwhelming. The stress of relationships, family, finances, school, and work can often reduce our ability to enjoy life. These stresses and experiences may leave us emotionally & physically drained and feeling helpless. Therapy is a collaborative endeavor that thrives in an honest and open space free of judgment. I emphasize the importance of self-awareness as a tool for regaining power and recognizing patterns within yourself and your relationships. Moving toward doing more of what is working and less of what is not.

I use Play Therapy, TF-CBT, EMDR, CBT, parent coaching and ADHD-informed strategies to help children build emotional regulation, confidence, and coping skills.
Children don’t wake up choosing “bad behavior.” They communicate through play, emotion, movement, and connection. My work focuses on understanding the why beneath the behavior and helping families create lasting change. I support children ages 3–13 with trauma, ADHD, anxiety/depression, and ASD Level 1. Office visits M/W/Th; telehealth for established clients.
