UnitedHealthcare UHC | UBH Therapists in Austin, TX

A quote by Milton Erickson that inspires us to view therapy as a way to manage change: "People come for therapy not to change their past but their future." - and there are so many changes these days! Managing change with creativity and insight creates new opportunities and revitalizes relationships. When experiencing change do you struggle with lack of motivation, depressive moods, self-defeating self talk, or poor self-confidence? Counseling helps you gain insight into your underlying feelings and motivations, envision new possibilities for yourself or your relationship, and clarify conflicting emotions.

Mental health problems don’t define who you are. They are something you experience. You walk in the rain and you feel the rain, but you are NOT the rain. — Matt Haig. My philisophy with therapy: "Therapy is a short term investment that should provide life long benefits". I like to work with clients who are interested in putting in the work and moving on with life; moving on with skills, boundaries and a sense of confidence. I focus on ADHD, anxiety, depression and helping people get through life difficulties such as career guidance, relationship issues and daily stress. Life is hard-Don't do it alone.

The ideal therapy client would present with a range of issues that you are willing to explore and work on. These could include challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, self-esteem issues, unresolved trauma, personal growth barriers, career issues, or coping with life transitions. You recognize that therapy is a valuable resource for gaining insight, acquiring new tools, and making lasting positive changes. You seek personal understanding, transformation, and improved overall well-being. Life's journey can often lead us through challenging terrains, but you don't have to navigate them alone.

Substance use disorders, eating disorders, & other destructive behaviors are often used as a way to cope with emotional distress and/or avoid pain. I help individuals heal by being curious & compassionate about the destructive behaviors to discover what purpose they serve.

I utilize a collaborative & holistic approach to treatment. Together, we can heal the pain, and find new ways to cope with emotional distress.

We all go through life struggles, which we are not able to handle on our own. Therapy is a very helpful tool to get the help and guidance that you, your family or typical support network may not be able to provide. My job as a psychotherapist is to work collaboratively with clients to help you heal and grow. My approach is gentle and direct, and while I have confidence in my knowledge about therapy, I treat every client as an individual and learn from every person who works with me. My clients would say they trust my intuition, pay close attention, tell them the truth and empower them with ongoing effective strategies for healing.

I am dedicated to helping adults through periods of stress, transition, and uncertainty. In individual therapy, we can work together to help you quiet the mind, calm the body, and develop insights that allow you to life more fully.
