Hi, So as a Certified Life Coach one of my main goals is to help you move forward in your life; and to understand what it is that's been preventing that. Some of the main tools I utilize in my coaching are Empathic Listening and Energy Psychology. Energy Psychology is a blend of spiritual practices and psychology. One of the core belief's I work from is that our conscious and sub-conscious negative feelings, ideas, beliefs and emotions affect our ability to access our unique inner power, strength's, gifts and talents and move forward within our lives with enjoyment.

My work with all ages involves fostering a safe holding environment that consists of empathy, compassion, and acceptance, where the client is encouraged to bring their genuine selves into the room. I am interested in exploring the impact of early childhood experiences on an individual’s sense of self. While the therapeutic journey can feel overwhelming, I will work towards helping you understand yourself in a deeper way. My process consists of creating a safe space for you to feel your emotions, bring awareness to your reactions, and then facilitate an understanding of how your experiences have influenced you as a person.

Meanings are not determined by situations, but we determine ourselves by the meanings we give to situations. -Alfred Adler. My favorite quote. I am primarily Adlerian, though I have developed an eclectic therapeutic style over the past 13 years. There is no "one size fits all" therapeutic intervention. I believe therapy must take into account the patient's whole environment, including the people the patient associates with. We all have individual experiences that influence who we are and our struggles in life. We have the power to define life or be defined by life.

We are all unique in our histories, yet feelings of anxiety, depression, loss, and love are all universal. Some days feel easy to handle, and others may feel overwhelming and unending. For many people, painful experiences outweigh the happier parts of their lives. I am so happy you have taken steps to feel better. I would love the opportunity to meet with you in person or talk via teletherapy. I would be honored to hear your story.

Counseling has been, and continues to be, an important part of my life and a vital reason I am who I have become. I chose counseling as a profession because I wanted to help others in the same way I have been helped over the years. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature at the University of Texas at Austin in 2004 and a Master of Arts in Counseling at St. Edward’s University in 2016.

In a blink of an eye, you're now a parent of a tween/teen(s). Your child has become w/drawn, negative, loss of interest & enjoyment of activities they once enjoyed. There's a change in their sleep, eating habits, doing poorly in school, isolating from friends and family, showing risky or harmful behaviors, even possible suicide thoughts. Your child shares with you that they feel depressed, anxious and don’t want to go to school. You try asking them what’s wrong, just to be yelled, “nothing, you wouldn’t even understand. You turn to your partner for support just to find yourself feeling angry, emotionally overwhelmed, invalidated.

We are a group of talented and experienced mental health clinicians that provides counseling and medication management all across Austin and greater Texas. We have offices in West Lake Hills, Georgetown, and Dripping Springs. We also provide telehealth service anywhere in Texas.

Bolivar is a native of South Florida, where he attended Florida State University’s School of Social Work. His studies focused on child welfare and cultural studies. He graduated from Florida State University with a Bachelor’s degree in International Affairs and Social Work. Immediately following his undergraduate studies, Bolivar knew his life’s work would be helping youth overcome trauma and strengthen families. These passions led Bolivar to a Master’s Degree in Social Work with a concentration in Child Welfare Studies.

I believe in the wholeness that lives in us all and that counseling is not about “fixing” a person but remembering who we were first. I am a depth oriented psychotherapist with a warm yet direct approach. I am influenced by existential and Jungian psychology and in working with me you will feel these theoretical approach echo in our conversations together. I also include metaphor and narrative therapy.

I am passionate about helping those struggling with trauma and grief across the lifespan, including perinatal loss (whether from infertility/miscarriage/infant loss), and postpartum difficulties. Our life journey is often filled with many unexpected twists and turns, with some surpassing our natural abilities to cope well. Our American culture openly avoids acknowledging the profound depth of our human experiences. Tolerance for trauma and grief is time-limited and short-lived, because "this happens all the time". But what if we can learn to acknowledge the pain without shame, guilt, or judgement?

Do you feel stressed, overwhelmed, or stuck? Sometimes we get trapped in the same patterns that give the same results and we become unmotivated. Having someone walk alongside us through these difficult times can be invaluable. My passion is to do just that. I specialize in helping people find clarity, balance, and solutions, while embracing individualism and even laughter/humor to promote healing. I help work through struggles such as life transitions, relational challenges, self-worth, trauma and PTSD, anxiety and depression. I aim for counseling to be a soft place to land no matter your background or current situation.

The highly sensitive person (HSP) faces unique problems. Even if (like many) you have a sense you were born to help others, their emotions wear you out, depleting your energy. Most of your emotional life may be coping with others' unresolved emotions you've been carrying around, which do little but drain you. Seeking to rid yourself of those emotions, you have developed any of a range of emotional or psychological problems, including anxiety, depression, a personality disorder, or compulsive emotional numbing behavior (like perfectionism, people pleasing, overeating, substance use, or compulsive sexual behavior).

Everyone is different and need to get some guidance, support and set new goals. I am here to provide support and encouragement from an non-judgemental position. I am here the help build meaningful social connections. When human beings experience trauma or severe life stressors, it is not uncommon for their lives to unravel. My great passion is bringing healing to people who have been through a trauma.

My desire is for you to understand and embrace the beauty of your existence. You are enough just as you are! Your circumstances, struggles, or past issues do not define you. They are simply a reference to be used in your journey toward healing.

As a counselor, my goal is to meet every client where they are to provide a safe environment to explore their current challenges. My objective is to provide a nonjudgmental, warm and caring space for you to navigate what is contributing to feeling stuck and walk with you toward establishing overall goals to increase your quality of life. I aid clients in discovering the potential that naturally lies within them. I utilize a holistic approach in counseling to meet a client where they are to process their current season.

Every person I work with is different, but the process is always the same: weed through the noise, dig to the root cause, and begin the journey of replanting together. I believe we all have the strength and capacity to heal.

Not one person's journey is the same. We are each individuals & our experiences, perceptions, reactions, & feelings can be different than those around us. If you are in a life transition, feeling lost, uncertain, or need someone to talk to I am here to support you. We all carry around our "stuff", I can offer a place for you to set it down for a while, & we can look at it together. I will not give you advice or tell you what to do, what I will do is walk with you for a while until you are able to walk on your own again.
