Therapists in Austin, TX
Reaching out to begin counseling takes strength, courage and vulnerability. It represents a desire for understanding and a hope for change to take place. As a counselor, I work with adolescents, adults and couples. I hope to enrich the lives of the clients that I serve by working alongside each individual while offering guidance, support and empathy. My goal is to help my clients figure out how to use their unique strengths to work through a challenging time in their lives by developing new coping skills to deal with previous roadblocks.

Life has a way of knocking us off our center. If you’re moving through a season that feels heavy, disorienting, or far from who you know yourself to be, I’m really glad you found your way here. My work focuses on supporting people who are navigating anxiety, depression, chronic illness, cancer, profound grief, and the kinds of life transitions that can quietly (or loudly) reshape everything. I’m drawn to the tender, complicated parts of being human; places where identity gets shaken, where relationships shift, where the body carries its own story.

Our early experiences shape how we relate, protect, disconnect, or strive. Patterns that once helped you survive can begin to interfere with connection and inner ease.
You may appear capable and high-functioning, yet feel stuck in cycles of shame, anxiety, or repeating relationship dynamics.

I've focused my practice on substance use issues and addictive problems in people lives. For years I worked with women in eating disorders treatment utilizing an addictions model. Later I focused on men, and substance use disorders. Problems can stem from using drugs as an unproductive coping skill to a deeper more physiologically based problem. Our first job together is to find what your specific problem looks like and then find a way forward that's suited to your needs. In addition I also offer services evaluating clients for Substance Use Disorders in Family Law and Criminal cases.

My ideal clients are thoughtful, caring adults who feel overwhelmed, exhausted, stuck, or disconnected after years of stress, trauma, caregiving, grief, or major life transitions. Many have spent so much time caring for others that they have lost touch with their own needs and well-being.

Maybe you grew up being the responsible one the fixer, the caretaker, the one who learned to hold everything together while putting your own needs aside.

Are you living life on autopilot? Do you feel disconnected from your body, relationships, or sense of purpose? Are you fighting to stay afloat in a world that feels like it wasn’t made for you? You deserve an affirming space to explore your identities, relationships, and life's challenges in the context of greater systemic and social forces. I enjoy working with trauma survivors, folks with disabilities and/or chronic illnesses, immigrants/adult children of immigrants, and aspiring cycle-breakers. I believe that healing is not only a tool for inner transformation, but also a catalyst for our collective liberation.

I have dedicated the last 20 years to issues uniquely related to women struggling with overwhelming life transitions, painful family dynamics, grief and loss, and mood disorders. I strive to provide a safe place where you can speak freely without fear of judgement and be fully understood. It is from this emotionally safe place that you will gain insight into yourself and your relationships. Often, what we believe about ourselves is inaccurate, and the resulting misplaced guilt is common among women. We will explore and develop new ways of perceiving yourself and others, while practicing new communication styles and strategies.

I’m an attachment based, relational therapist, committed to helping individuals age ten and up learn how to find their core selves and live in harmony with who they were meant to be. Life often teaches us that in order to survive we cannot fully be our selves. What if that isn't true? My work focuses on experiential interventions (AEDP, IFS, and SE) to heal trauma, chronic relationships issues, and many mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. I’m passionate about creating as space for marginalized individuals to heal from institutional and intergenerational trauma.
