Therapists in Cedar Park, TX

I love working with adult individuals, couples, and family members who are looking to grow and heal in ways that emphasize their unique human experience and authenticity. This might look like someone who is trying to forge a new path after being stuck in a negative pattern like codependency or perfectionism. It may be a couple who wants to improve communication or deepen their emotional or sexual intimacy. It may be family members who are hoping to resolve past issues to create space for more authentic connection. I tailor my approach to fit my clients' needs while providing a warm, compassionate space for exploration and growth.

Sometimes the hardest thing we might do is taking the first step to begin counseling- getting help means we have struggles. The issues we face in life have the ability to deeply damage us, but also the potential for personal growth. Be encouraged that the first step to emotional healing is difficult, but it's worth taking. We can know how to love ourselves better if our value can be affirmed by someone who cares, and you can face them knowing you are not alone. I can help you reach your goals for counseling, or perhaps even find out where to begin.

I offer therapy to Individuals who are dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, life transitions, spirituality, grief, and loss issues. Additionally, I provide therapy to couples who are navigating relationship issues, co-parenting, or seeking pre-marital counseling. I specialize in working with families on issues arising from acculturation that may be causing a rift between the parents and teenage or adult kids because of contrasting religious and family values and Western culture. I use hypnotherapy to do past life regressions to unlock the roots of your current struggles by exploring past lives and finding healing.

Things are falling apart. You never thought you would be here. There are moments in life when we feel lost, hopeless, and overwhelmed.

There is another side to this pain, grief, and struggle, and as a guide, I would love to help you get there. I can guide because I have walked the terrain myself, and have walked many others through it as well.

Do you and your spouse feel like roommates instead of lovers? Has infidelity entered the relationship and now you're at a crossroads? Are you checked out but your partner wants to keep trying?

Do you find yourself sitting amongst the ashes of charred dreams seeking ways to find meaning in the mess? Do you feel hopeless, or helpless, triggered from past harm?

Together, we can reframe your story through a counseling relationship. I believe sitting with another person to explore their story, and their perceptions related to those stories, can redeem broken places, restore vitality, and reveal hope for the future. You can experience healing.

Being a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) means that I incorporate many facets of your life into therapy. Often people think that MFTs only work with couples and families, while we do often work a lot with these clients, we also work with individuals and bring our systemic approach to therapy with them as well. Personally, it just makes sense to me to take into account all of the different systems you are connected to as I work to help you be where you want to be. I will work collaboratively with you and bring more than a decade of experience as a therapist into our sessions.

I help individuals who are feeling overwhelmed with worry, fear, perfectionism, and overthinking.
