Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Austin, TX

I work from the belief that the human body and mind work together and constantly strive to find an inner peace and balance through self-healing. My role as a counselor is to help you create self-awareness, to facilitate the healing process, and to support you on your journey to finding your inner peace and life satisfaction. I enjoy working with adults, couples, and adolescents, addressing a wide range of challenges. 

I am trained in EMDR and a Board Approved Supervisor for LMSW's. If you are experiencing depression or anxiety, regaining control over your life can seem over-whelming and impossible, but you are not alone, I can help. I see adults dealing with depression, anxiety, unresolved trauma, attachment issues, disruptive life transitions, have a history of sexual abuse and/or sexual assault, and unhappy childhood experiences. Together we can stabilize your mental well-being, increase your self-regulation and ability to cope, and help you reestablish a sense of safety in the world.

I hold the belief that taking time and space to reflect on our life's journey, experiences, relationships, and needs is beneficial for everyone—whether it's to improve our current path or to acquire new skills for an unexpected turn. Even though it may sometimes feel like it, we are never truly alone, nor do we have to face everything by ourselves. I am passionate and dedicated to assisting individuals in counseling with care, acceptance, appreciation, permission, and affection, aiding them in exploring their experiences and needs with the support of therapeutic resources and information.

I provide a positive and strengths-based approach to healing, and have skills and knowledge in working with trauma, child abuse, domestic abuse and sexual violence, dissociation, oppression, and stress. I have over twenty years of experience mentoring and supporting people living with: trauma and dissociation; disability and neurodivergence; and LGBTQ+ identity.

Therapy can transform both our inner and outer worlds by making sense of our stories, releasing what no longer works, and living more fully in the present. I do this work best with people who tend to identify as highly responsible, self-critical, and chronically nervous, tense, or guilty. You might identify as a perfectionist or people-pleaser, or say you "grew up too fast." Common goals include getting in touch with alienated parts of the self, freedom from self-criticism, healing from emotional abuse or neglect, navigating difficult relationships with family, and relief from symptoms of PTSD, OCD, anxiety disorders, or depression.

I’m so excited that you’re here and making the decision to take charge of your life and work towards overall healing! It’s okay if you’re unsure about counseling or where to start because I’ll walk beside you and help you navigate it all--wherever you are in your journey. I guide adults, young adults, and teens through struggles such as eating disorders, life transitions, anxiety, social or work stress, depression, chronic illness, family of origin issues, exploring identity, and healing from trauma.

I do not shy away from clients who are truly frustrated with life and not sure how to continue on the journey alone. This planet is a tough one to be on right now and a therapeutic relationship can be a saving grace. No matter what the issue, I help clients tap into their own intuition as well as my professional insight to move matters forward. I typically explore body-mind constructs and stay curious about how the concept of energy plays into every day life. I believe trauma is a predecessor to many mental health issues, so I'm always focused on creating a safe place to explore healing the mind and body.

As a psychotherapist in the South Austin area, I counsel adults, with a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, trauma, and grief and loss. It is my desire to facilitate your transformation, healing, and growth toward wholeness. I will encourage, and often challenge, you to discover and listen to all aspects of yourself, enabling more authentic expression, expanded creativity and intuition, and connection to your life passion. I desire to create a physical and emotional space for you that is warm, accepting, and non-judgmental. I also work with clients as an InterSpiritual Guidess.

I specialize in working with adult survivors of narcissistic, borderline, or antisocial (psychopathic) parents. I also work with people struggling with partners who have these disorders. As a result of this work, I am also skilled in working with trauma. I can help you learn to live without fear, understand your emotions better, and manage your trauma symptoms instead of the managing you. Life is too short to live in fear, to be continually overwhelmed by your emotions, or to be stuck in toxic relationships. I can help you find your way out.

Writing a Psychology Today profile feels a lot like writing a dating profile—trying to stand out and hoping to connect with someone looking for what I offer. Whether you're single and searching, in a relationship and unsure, or committed and seeking deeper connection, I understand the challenges you face. The ups and downs of dating, the uncertainty, and fear of rejection can be daunting. Or maybe you're in a relationship, questioning if this is the right person, struggling with where to compromise, and fearing settling. For those in committed relationships, you may want to resolve conflict, and deepen your connection.

We each carry within us our unique wisdom, strength and resiliency that, with the right support, can become to the keys to our personal healing. Yet we all go through periods where life circumstances- traumas, life transitions, or relationship difficulties- overwhelm our ability to make sense of our experiences. Perhaps your reactions don't make rational sense to you or your loved ones. Maybe old coping strategies no longer cut it anymore. It can be confusing, terrifying and lonely to not be able to make sense of the storm happening inside of us. It can also be a turning point, a moment to expand into a deeper version of ourselves.

As a licensed therapist and the founder of Makepeace Therapy, I have been working with individuals and couples for over 10 years. Throughout my life and in my practice, I have continuously experienced that people can heal from the suffering past trauma has created in their lives. I am so passionate about therapy because it allows for an incredible unfolding process to discover the root of our pain, change unwanted patterns and behaviors, and allow for the creation of the necessary changes that lead to living fulfilled, healthy, and joyful lives!

Sometimes our experiences become overwhelming and impact our ability to connect and be fully present in our relationships. As a therapist trained in family systems, trauma, and financial therapy, I am passionate about helping my clients improve their relationships with themselves, their loved ones, and money. I support and empower my individual, couple, and family clients by embarking with them on a journey of discovery to explore how small changes in patterns of thought and behaviors may be helpful in alleviating them from feeling stuck or unfulfilled in their relationships.
