Hi, friend. Welcome to a transformative journey of self-discovery and personal evolution. As we embark on this path together, we embark on a quest to confront the complexities of the human psyche and the challenges of our modern world. Drawing on the profound insights of Jungian psychology and the pragmatic wisdom of existential philosophy, our sessions are an exploration of meaning. With over 8 years of experience as a therapist and 20 years as an Austinite, I specialize in guiding individuals through the complexities of creativity, relationship dynamics, spiritual trauma, and existential questioning.

Are you conflicted, unhappy, in crisis, in transition, struggling with mental health symptoms, or just feeling that something is off? Are you struggling with consistent conflict or miscommunication in your relationships and ready to do something different? Change isn’t easy and sometimes even scary but I can help you embrace change to enhance your relationships. I offer non-judgmental support around the challenges and stressors you’re dealing with.

Are you tired of having the same argument about sex? I help individuals and couples overcome obstacles that interfere with pleasurable sex. Maybe you have low sexual desire, or pain during intercourse. Maybe you were exposed to the purity culture and your brain still believes sex is wrong. Maybe you have sexual performance anxiety and your body won't cooperate. Maybe you or your partner believes you have a sex addiction. Maybe you're haunted by past trauma and can't move forward. Maybe you just need a safe place to talk about life. I can help with all these issues and more. Call me and let's talk!

It has never been more imperative that we take care of our mental health and wellness. There is so much to decompress from daily, that sometimes we find ourselves overwhelmed. Sometimes you want to find a therapist that will support you, and other times you may be looking for direction and challenge. During this time of the Pandemic and ongoing political and social unrest, consider caring for yourself, first. As you grow this work into consistent practice, you will find more gratitude and mindfulness even during difficult times. I look forward to serving you.

I work with men. Men that are dealing with the realities of being a husband, father, boss, caretaker, provider, etc. Men that are high achieving. Men that are Christian. Men wanting an honest, solution-focused path to living a healthier life. I'm not here to "therapize" you, or spend hours digging into your past. Though parts of your past may come up during our sessions, my focus is on the present and future. We focus on real change and personal accountability/responsibility.

Hi and Hello! My main goals and objectives for helping my clients is to provide a sense of enlightenment and empowerment as well as to improve their self-worth and value as they navigate through their journey to healing themselves.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience working with individual adults going through or contemplating divorce, as well as those going through higher education. I am passionate about working with adults who find themselves at a different point in life than they thought they would be. I also enjoy working with athletes, former athletes, or fitness minded people who are struggling to perform or need help transitioning to a healthy life without sports. Identity can easily get wrapped up in what we do in our day to day lives.

I specialize in three types of clients - couples hanging on by a thread, men who are less than thrilled at the idea of attending therapy, and individuals that live under a constant state of performance pressure. As someone who has lived and survived all three of these scenarios personally, I've got a ton of empathy and a box of tools ready for people motivated to achieve change. Whether you're picking up the pieces from infidelity, exhausted from fighting about the same tired topics, or struggling to escape the voices in your head that beat you down, I'm honored to pull up a chair next you and begin sorting through the mess.

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.

I am an Honors graduate of The University of Texas at Austin with over 30 years experience helping people overcome anxiety & depression, resolve conflicts, deal with past hurts & traumas, improve communication and self esteem, and increase the quality of their relationships, as well as their work or school performance, in order that they may lead happier and more fulfilling lives. I also recently completed training to become a state-licensed, Clinical Social Work Supervisor for newly-graduated clinicians-in-training.

It can be very frustrating to be misunderstood by your spouse or your partner. You probably have a hard time communicating with each other. You probably find yourselves fighting about seemingly minor issues. You might be hurting and even feel a great deal of anger and resentment. You tried hard to fix the situation yourself or even hoped it would go away but you always seem to end up fighting again. You may even feel defeated because of the frequent arguing and worried about the future of your relationship. You know its time to get some help.

Seeking support after the death of a loved one, or preparing for the death of a loved one, can be overwhelming. The focus of my work is to support individuals, families, couples, and children/teenagers when they are dealing with the challenges of loss due to an illness or other issues related to loss. I strive to help my clients cope with the difficult prospects of loss such as death, suicide, divorce, marital discord, terminal illness, chronic illness, job loss, and the challenges it brings to the client, and their family.

If you are here, you are likely experiencing relationship challenges or may be at a crossroads in an important relationship. You may have tried other forms of therapy but perhaps the changes didn't last or your life circumstances have changed. If this sounds like you, I would love to help you get back on track. I offer either 2 day long relationship interventions for couples or weekly/bi-weekly therapy for individuals, couples or families. My aim is to provide a respectful space in which to explore where things may be getting stuck and help you find a healthier and happier path forward.

From our very first contact, I think you will find that I'm easy to talk to. I pride myself on being a good listener, and I believe you will experience me as warm, genuine, and supportive. I'm not one of those quiet therapists; I openly and honestly share my thoughts, questions, and perceptions. You will also find me to be (gently) challenging when you need and want to be challenged. I take your confidentiality and privacy very seriously. And, while much of what we discuss will be serious, I do have a sense of humor that I don't leave at the door.

You deserve a therapist who can not only make you feel safe and heard but who you get along with. I see clients for issues such as anxiety, family conflict, relationships, and trauma, and I specialize in working with religious trauma and cult recovery. Lets work together to help you get what you want out of this short life.

We have therapists (Licensed, Associates and Graduate Students Interns) who specialize in different age groups (teens, young adults, middle age, and elderly), constellations (individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy), and targets (pastors & missionaries, EMDR, affair recovery, blended families, veterans, grief & loss, etc.). If a client requests to incorporate Christian spirituality into counseling, our therapists are well trained to do so. However, we are incredibly respectful of our clients’ faith beliefs, including those who profess faith and those who do not.

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.

Are you tired, overwhelmed, or stressed? Let’s face it—life is stressful! Your kid is having a tantrum in the middle of the store, your boss is breathing down your neck, and you and your partner keep having the same arguments on repeat. Anxiety sucks up energy, makes us irritable, and weakens our immune systems. All of this leaves you feeling frustrated, hopeless, and exhausted. Therapy can help you gain practical tools for improving communication in your relationship, understanding your emotions, and coping with stress. Couples therapy. Family counseling. Parent coaching. Group therapy for men. Not sure where to turn? Call now.
