Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Dripping Springs, TX

I offer somatic psychotherapy (touch and tablework) for people who are working on trauma, relationship and attachment issues. This work may also bring up family of origin issues that may also be unresolved. I combine somatic, IFS, and attachment modalities. My somatic training also provides expertise in helping those with chronic illness or pain and how this is related to mental health. Somatic work also is for those with after-effects of surgeries or accidents.

In my work I have found that people come to therapy when life has thrown them a curve that they are not sure how to negotiate. Whether it be an unmanageable relationship, excessive anxiety, or recurring depression. Therapy is a resource to help you deal with the issues that keep you stuck in old patterns. Through active listening and reflection, I can help you identify contributing facets of the issue. Together we can look at the whole picture and find the best way to move forward.

At the heart of my approach is the belief that human beings naturally possess the power to heal, change, and grow. With that in mind, I encourage and support a collaborative process between myself and the client. The purpose of forming this therapeutic relationship is to enable the client to identify the obstacles and resolve the conflicts which interfere with his or her ability to live life fully.

If you are looking for a listener because you need to talk to about: conflict in your marriage, unbearable family relationships, step parenting challenges, frustration with ADHD - yours or someone else's, scary new life transitions, healing from a traumatic event or relationship, or a constant nagging sadness or anxiousness that just won't go away, then we should talk!

I believe we are all inherently strong, intelligent, and creative beings, capable of working through even the most chaotic of circumstances, and that we are designed to learn and grow from such experiences. Moreover, I believe we are all ultimately capable of becoming the designers of our lives, creating peace, joy and love as common life experiences for ourselves. My intention as a therapist is to appreciate your unique experiences and views into yourself, and to work with you as you strive toward your highest potential.

Does your struggle with breastfeeding affect your connection with baby? Do you feel overwhelmed by the all the changes that come with a new baby? Do you question that motherhood could be better? Now more than ever, new mamas are feeling uncertain about their breastfeeding experience and their maternal identity. I believe feeding your baby can come from a place of confidence and pride. At Landmark Counseling Practice, I offer individual tele therapy sessions for pregnant and postpartum mamas looking to find hope and support during their transition to motherhood.

Is stress, anxiety and depression plaguing you? Do you feel more disconnected than ever in this post-pandemic world? Have you ever been curious about what therapy with horses might be like? I'd love to offer you the experience of something different, through a felt experience of change either through in-person talk therapy or equine assisted psychotherapy (I also offer Telehealth!). Therapy can be a place to feel safe, seen and find pathways to new ways of being in the world. I hope to meet you soon!

Do you struggle sharing your thoughts & feelings with your partner? Do you minimize the conflicts in your relationship out of fear? Are you easily distracted when listening to one another? I know how this feels because these have been my struggles too. As someone living with ADHD, I've learned to trust my partner and implement tools to overcome distractions. Feeling deeply connected to your partner can be challenging when you feel pulled in so many directions. From screaming kids to work stress, lack of support, or being absolutely exhausted. I'm passionate about helping people find each other again amidst the chaos of life.

In my two decades as therapist, I have been honored to witness people move through incredible challenges and sometimes transform the trajectory of their lives, Just as our bodies send healing to our physical wounds, we hold inside us all we need to be move through tremendous struggles to emerge whole. Our innate capacity to heal is in all of us. It is outside of our awareness because our minds are full of noise. I help my clients become inner explorers. I help them develop a lens of self-compassion, freedom from judgment and gentle curiosity about themselves. When we are at peace within ourselves, everything is possible.

You don't feel like yourself lately and you're longing for more in your life. You feel disconnected from others, tired, and burnt out from doing the same thing every day despite having all of your basic needs met. You're ready for a change and want your life to feel more fulfilling but can't seem to figure out how to keep your wheels from spinning. You might have even been raised by emotionally immature parents who weren't able to give you the tools you needed to be able to live a life that you enjoy living. You're ready to gain the tools and wisdom you need to make a change for yourself.

We all have pain, stress, and disappointments to work through - big things and small. When left unaddressed, they show up as anxiety, grief, anger, perfectionism or depression, limiting our ability to be at peace with ourselves and in our relationships. Maybe something in your life doesn't feel right, and has become too much to bear by yourself. You want to step into new ways of being in the world, free from the shame, fear and pain you have been carrying for so long. Taking the first step towards getting the help you need can feel incredibly vulnerable, and I promise to honor the strength it took to get here.

I firmly believe we are created to live life in the present with joy, peace and love. However, we are inundated with media, messages and influences that leave us stressed, anxious and overwhelmed. We strive, push, and repeat unhealthy coping patterns. It is exhausting! Eventually, you find yourself lashing out at your loved ones, becoming judgmental, staying busy and disconnected, blaming others or being mad for reasons you can't remember. The patterns and ways of being can change, but it takes more than talk therapy.

Seeking help is a huge step & I'm so glad you're here! Is anxiety, depression, or stress weighing you down? Are problems with your partner, children (young or adult), or others causing you grief? Do you work so hard but still seem to get triggered and wounded? If you seek to break unhealthy patterns and beliefs from the past, want to move into the life you desire, get in touch with or expand lost parts of yourself; there is a way, and you do not have to do it alone! Whether you're healing journey is underway or you're just getting started, I would love to support you in walking your path and create the space you need for healing.

Hi, I'm Sarah. Maybe you feel stuck right now. Maybe things feel hard and you're just not sure what to do. Maybe you've noticed unresolved feelings, or big feelings, coming back again and again. Maybe you feel stuck in a relationship, a season in your life, or your identity. Maybe it feels like things might always feel this way. Clients that I work with are curious about their experiences. Whether it's noticing past patterns, current feelings, or experimenting with doing something different, the clients that I see often want to understand more about themselves, to show up for themselves in ways they hope to be.

Hi! As a parent we are facing different challenges everyday in which we struggle and feel pressured to constantly have it together.

So if you take anything from landing on my page I want to tell you that: You are enough! As a clinician I have helped children and families who had experienced challenges and adversities in their lives.
