Therapists in Austin, TX
Do you want to reclaim, or perhaps discover, who you are and what brings you pleasure in life? Whether you are seeking help with depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, a lack of direction, or other difficulties, I provide support and challenge when needed to assist you in creating a more enjoyable and meaningful life. An important part of our work together involves exploring what obstacles, both internal and external, are preventing you from moving forward. I use targeted questions to help you identify patterns, make connections, uncover unproductive ways of thinking, and highlight your areas of strength.

You’re a deep thinker with self-awareness in spades. You have plenty of insight, but you struggle taking actionable steps forward when things feel uncertain, overwhelming, or hopeless (i.e. a lot of the time). You may feel stuck in patterns of overthinking or can't seem to stop reacting to what feels urgent in the moment rather than what truly matters long-term. Alongside that yearning for change is the creeping suspicion that there’s something wrong with you and that attempts to move forward will only confirm the fear that you’re incapable or broken.
If that's you, I'm glad you're here!

Life can be overwhelming. We all carry wounds from our past into the present, and healing them alone can be difficult. Maybe you feel stuck—in patterns or coping strategies that once helped you but now leave you anxious, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward.
I help clients explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion. Together, we’ll uncover the threads connecting your past to your present, loosen your grip on stories that are no longer serving you, and create space for healing and growth.

The name of the practice evokes its "why" as well as what I hope will be its offering for all that work with me. More than work-life balance, something relevant and practical... Modern Balance.

Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are. So who do you ultimately want to be? What is going on in your life to cause stress or strife? What can we change or take out to improve things? Are you communicating effectively with your adolescent or loved ones? Life can throw many different obstacles that cause stress, anxiety, depression, and a breakdown of relationships. One of the hardest relationships for parents or caregivers can be the one with their teenager. As a marriage and family therapist I take a look at your entire life and not just the person itself to facilitate change.

Divorce and other major changes to our family can be destabilizing.
Life can feel uncertain and overwhelming and it can be hard to get back on track.
You begin to doubt your decision-making, question your judgment.
I specialize in supporting children, adolescents and adults in navigating the complexities of divorce and blended or non-traditional family systems. I utilize expressive arts and play therapy when words alone aren't enough. We’ll learn how to understand ourselves in across environments and apply the understanding of these influences to our daily lives. Our sessions will help you to feel safe, seen, and supported.

Life can be challenging for anyone. At this time, you may be feeling anxious, not at your best, isolated, or lacking a sense of purpose. Life is a journey filled with experiences that challenge and validate our understandings of who we are and what we believe. Because each person's journey is unique, each person develops a unique perspective for engaging with, and understanding the world around them. My focus is to reintroduce a sense of hope and assist you in reconnecting with your skills and knowledges, bringing your values and hopes for your life to the forefront.

When we experience trauma, we are often left feeling alone, misunderstood, invisible, and unsafe, even within ourselves. Through the process of therapy, we can regain hope, connection, safety, and understanding of ourselves and others. I use wide-range of evidenced-based modalities, from psychodynamic and CBT to EMDR and somatic therapies to decrease the emotional reactivity, tension, and isolation that trauma can create. Regardless of our trauma histories, our modern world can contribute to feelings of disconnection, dissatisfaction, and uncertainty about our worth and our purpose.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, upsetting emotions or distressing thoughts? Maybe you are going through a difficult season right now or have experienced a traumatic event in the past. Have you tried everything you can think of to do or feel “normal” but nothing seems to be working and you are close to loosing hope? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are not alone.
Many struggle each day, scouring the internet or self help books, searching for solutions to help them find emotional balance in their lives; but all too often only find a temporary reprieve from their inner turmoil.

Do you sense a gap between the life you're currently living and the one you truly want? Have you tried figuring it out on your own, but end up feeling stuck? The decision to make changes in your life is not easy, it requires strength and self-awareness. It can seem daunting deciding where to start, but you don’t have to walk this path alone. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore the obstacles in your way, uncover the strengths you already possess, and find the path forward towards a life more in line with your values and goals.

Trauma comes in numerous forms, many of which remain just below the surface, unconsciously directing our lives, impacting our relationships, and stunting our unique pursuit of happiness. Thankfully, mental health services are no longer strictly designated for those amongst us experiencing the most overt forms of dysfunction. From those in need of initial trauma recovery and basic life stabilization to those looking to maximize their potential and optimize their lifestyle, my ideal client simply seeks to shed the bindings of the past in pursuit of a more authentic and fulfilling life.

You’re tired of feeling like “too much” and “not enough” at the same time. You’ve been trying to handle everything on your own, and it feels like you’re barely keeping up. Maybe you’re neurodivergent, queer, or just feel things intensely. You want to learn to manage your emotions, improve your relationships, and be kinder to yourself. You need a space where you can build real skills and explore who you are, while working toward more authenticity and connection in daily life.

Charlie Kirk was a white supremacist hate monger. "Women like men who go to therapy" -my wife. I am a cancer survivor, child abuse survivor, feminist, activist, a great-grandson of immigrants from Mexico, a husband in a queer relationship, a doggo dad, and a comedy performer. I help people with anxiety, imposter syndrome, relationships, ADHD, depression, family stuff, career issues, and big life changes because those are the same things I've struggled with. I'm here to listen and help. Not to judge. Let's get you empowered, laughing, and having fun again. I love working with LGBTQ+ clients and people of color.

You've never quite fit into the roles you were handed. Maybe you've been the black sheep, the one who questions everything...the one who senses there's more to life than performing a version of yourself that never felt entirely true.
And yet-here you are. Aware that something isn't working anymore. Aware that beneath the anxiety and self-doubt, there is something deeper asking to be lived.
Many of my clients struggle with questions like:
Who am I, really?
Can I trust myself?
What do I want, outside of who I've been told to be?
These questions often live at the intersection of identity.

Struggling through life with a chronic or silent illness feels anything but silent. It's more like having an angry body that's screaming and out of control at the worst possible moments. Illnesses like Lyme disease, chronic fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Epstein-Barr, or autoimmune disorders don't always come with support walks and wrist bands. And loved ones or the medical community don't always understand or know how to help. I know you're just about done with getting shuffled in and out of doctor's appointments, but hopefully you'll give me a chance.

You feel disconnected from yourself, from others, from God- it's beginning to feel like too much. You look like you have it all together. You’re responsible and successful. Others rely on you. But inside, you're depleted, constantly trying to hide your imperfections- the lies you believe about yourself. Reaching out for help feels hard- the part of you who thinks you shouldn't even have these problems is in conflict with the part of you that desperately wants to heal and feel better. You worry that if people really knew your struggles, they’d see you differently. You are incredibly hard on yourself and you have guilt about that too.
