Women's Issues Therapists in Austin, TX
Starting therapy can take courage, especially if you’ve felt misunderstood, judged, or unsupported in the past. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are — a place that feels safe, affirming, and genuinely supportive. I especially enjoy working with LGBTQIA+ folks, women, and anyone navigating the impacts of trauma, identity-based stress, or systems that haven’t always made space for them.

Are you a woman or couple struggling with sexual concerns or communication issues? Your friends and colleagues think you're the perfect couple. But inside you're filled with frustration and confusion. You'd think with the level of love and respect in your relationship that the sex part would work itself out, but not so much. What's happening between the sheets just isn't working, but you can't understand what's going wrong or how to begin fixing it. You need help, but you aren't sure if anyone would understand. Imagine finding a supportive space to explore your situation with someone who won't judge you. At all.

Relationships are one of the most important aspects to me when working with others and through life. I believe we find ourselves in various relationships throughout our days, weeks and lives. I taught elementary school for four years and had the chance to work with children and their families in a different aspect. My philosophy gradually changed to wanting to help families and children with their relationships and began my career with mental health. My current philosophy appears to involve getting to know one another on the client’s time.

I have lived in Texas for my entire life and love it! While my husband was stationed in California, I was in Austin for my undergrad and graduate programs. Then, after graduate school, I moved to the outskirts of Houston for a couple of years. Soon after, I moved back north of the Austin area in the Ft. Cavazos area. I am the oldest of 5 and come from a small town about 30 minutes away from Uvalde. You may meet some of my complimentary therapy fur babies who ADORE watching Bluey in our sessions together. So please excuse me if I need to silence my mic and tell them to go play somewhere else, haha!

Something has shifted, and you can't quite name it. You're doing everything right — the treatments, the appointments, the showing up and yet you feel more alone than ever. Whether you're deep in fertility treatment, navigating a complicated pregnancy, or lost somewhere in early parenthood, your emotional experience deserves as much attention as everything else. I work with women and couples — including same-sex female couples building their families — who are ready to stop surviving and start feeling like themselves again. Together, we'll process the grief, deal with shame, and help you reconnect with yourself and your relationship.

Through telehealth, I work with medical professionals and others in high-stress, high-responsibility roles, including healthcare workers, first responders, therapists, educators, and caregivers. Many of the people I see are used to functioning under pressure while carrying responsibility for others’ safety or wellbeing.

You find yourself googling "Is this normal after having a baby?”, “Why do I feel so anxious all the time?”. You're scared that you're not connecting to your baby in the ways you expected. You’re not alone.
Many mothers I work with feel constantly on edge, overstimulated, or emotionally exhausted. You might be crying more than you expected, snapping at your partner, feeling guilty for wanting a break, or wondering why you don’t feel the joy everyone promised. Sleep deprivation, hormonal shifts, and the pressure to do everything “right” can make even small decisions feel overwhelming.

More and more I see women who are truly "doing it all" They might work full time, take care of the kids, and manage the house while dealing with a partner who doesn't appreciate how hard it is to live up to almost impossible standards. Sometimes it's stay at home moms who do a ton of work but don't feel appreciated for all that they do and feel isolated from others. I also see so much Anxiety. It seems as if Covid brought everyone's anxiety out of hiding. Things that we never worried about before are now overwhelming. Social Anxiety is also increasing due Covid related isolation. You are not alone with these feelings.

You’re used to being the capable one—the helper, the high achiever, the one others rely on. But lately you feel stretched thin, emotional, anxious, or not like yourself. This may be tied to fertility struggles, pregnancy or postpartum changes, reproductive loss, trauma, identity strain, or major life transitions. You’re finding it harder to keep pushing through and want a place where you don’t have to be the strong one all the time, especially when you’re usually the one caring for others. You long for space to be real, supported, and not have to hold it all by yourself.
