Whether it's life challenges, obstacles or transitions that are prompting you to seek counseling, today you are one step closer to your personal journey of growth and healing. Fear of change is natural, but can prevent us from letting go of old beliefs, behaviors, ways of being and situations that are no longer beneficial to our wellbeing.

Life is everchanging. My clients are experiencing challenges that require them to change in order to go forward. Some clients are interested in dreams and personal growth over time. Others want some immediate support to help them sort out the difficulties they currently face: whether it be the loss of a relationship, a career, a difficult illness, or some other major change in one's orientation to life. I have a depth and breadth of experience working with people of all stripes and in both law and social work: that is, people who have been stuck in some very difficult places. I value individuality and wholeness--not perfection.

I enjoy working with children and adolescents of any age. Listening to children and teenagers is so important as they often can tell us what we need to know to support them. I use both talking and play to facilitate connection and communication. Interpersonal experiences affect our relationships and the way in which we interact with others. I have a strong background in family systems, school collaboration and developmental and attachment theory which is instrumental in my work with clients. I also work with families to facilitate communication when there is a disruption in the family system due to divorce or adoption.

Pflugerville Counseling Center offers a wide range of counseling services to individuals, families, couples, and children/teens. Though each of us specializes in different areas, we all hold a belief that counseling is most helpful when it is about having a safe relationship to more fully explore, understand, and accept self and the choices we make. We believe that everyone has a story and the more we can own our stories, the more choice and control we have over writing the next chapters. We all love working with the brain/body/relationship connection we all hold within ourselves and between each other.

Change in our lives is inevitable. The transition periods between times of stability in our lives are more common then we often care to admit. These transitions can trigger stress, anxiety, depression and other current and long standing psychological issues. I started my clinical practice in 1989 in Austin, Texas and specialize in helping adult individuals and couples who are experiencing transitions due to significant changes occurring in their lives.

Life is complex and at various transitional times life can become confusing. In counseling, the integration of our conflicting emotions is at the heart of who we are and how we struggle. It is equally important that you feel safe, valued and respected as we develop our therapeutic relationship. Together we will explore and validate your true authentic self; develop skills to confront life's challenges and embrace the joys; delve into your feelings and emotions with understanding and acceptance. Finding your voice, understanding your emotions and choosing behaviors that reflect yourself at best will weave our therapeutic relationship together.

I utilize a warm, motivating, and non-judgmental approach along with practical tools to aid the counseling process. My therapeutic lens is informed by over twenty years of meditation and yoga practice. I work holistically. I combine talk-based therapies (CBT, Psychodynamic, etc.) with body-based mindfulness. I’m a student of Somatic Experiencing, an innovative approach to working with trauma, and am interested in exploring the stories that the body wants to tell. Ultimately, my aim is to increase self-awareness and emotional resilience to foster greater self-acceptance and to develop more satisfying relationships.

Occasional anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties are a natural part of life but shouldn't outweigh the joy and satisfaction that life can offer. My task is to hear and understood you well, so that you will come to know yourself better identify the "blind spots" that are keeping you stuck and make the changes you're hoping for hard to achieve.

I have extensive experience working with teens and young adults processing trauma, depression, anxiety, attachment issues, relationship issues and difficult life transitions. My goal is to be supportive and encouraging to allow my clients to explore what is holding them back in life. Therapy is a space where you can open up and identify any anxieties keeping you from being the best you can be. We all have it in us to rise up and take charge of our lives.

I am currently taking clients! It’s challenging to seek help. To understand that simply existing and surviving aren’t enough anymore. Therapy is, feeling, and processing, and moving through emotions that we typically try to avoid in hopes of them disappearing. But like much research has shown, that’s simply not the case. Healing requires processing but it does not need to be done alone. For the past decade I have been working with people who have experienced different forms of abuse; emotional, physical, sexual, and mental abuse. Those are all experiences we want to shove away and never speak of again.

There is a wealth of wisdom already within you. Let's journey inward together to find healing, growth, and new revelations. Therapy is for YOU, and together we will find the methods that best foster your growth, whether we are interpreting your favorite song, making pro/con lists, finding moments of silence, or creating a safe place for you to say the thing you’ve never been able to say. Some areas of passion I enjoy working with include religious deconstruction/reconstruction, religious trauma, LGBTQ+, cultivating sexual satisfaction, spirituality, sexual shame/trauma, and identity formation.

Enough! Every day is a struggle and you've had enough! Perhaps you're sick of pretending life is good and you're happy. Perhaps you're tired of not feeling safe, always being on guard. Perhaps you've had enough of relationships that don't last, friendships falling apart. Maybe you're tired of putting others needs first, never considering your own. Maybe you're sick of believing your worthless, even hating yourself. Or you're done blowing up over small things, being full of rage. Perhaps it's something else, whatever it is, you've had enough! It's time for a change and you're ready to do the work to create that change!

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
