Therapists in Leander, TX

For those experiencing a life transition or difficult season in life, talking with someone about the challenges you face is one of the healthiest decisions you can make for yourself and your loved ones. Life can get messy and when it does, it can help to talk it out with someone outside of your friend group or family. In addition to counseling individuals, I have over 20 years experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and their families. I provide guidance to those that struggle in many areas of school; emotional regulation, self-esteem, peer relationships, ADHD, and anxiety to name a few.

With strong dedication to serving those who have served our nation and communities, I bring a unique blend of personal experience and professional expertise to my practice. As a Veteran of the United States Army, an amputee, and a seasoned first responder with 15 years of service, I have developed a deep understanding of the challenges faced by individuals in these roles and their families. Having navigated the complexities of military life, the adjustments of living as an amputee, and the stressfulness of first responder duties, I am well-equipped to empathize with and support individuals dealing with a multitude of challenges.

Do you sense that something undefinable is holding you back from success and happiness in your school, work, or personal life? Our thoughts and actions are often purposeful and useful. Where we falter is when what has worked for us in the past is no longer effective in dealing with our problems. So-called "symptoms" often mask deeper issues in our lives. When these unresolved facets of ourselves are addressed in psychotherapy, we tend to get better. I want to meet you in a genuine and non-judgmental way. My approach is empathetic, playful, and collaborative.

It is my desire to assist people in the process of change and to help redirect the course of their lives. I am truly devoted to helping every client to walk down that path to a more fulfilling and peaceful life.

I am currently an associate under the supervision of Sarah Arnold, LPC-S. I am now accepting new clients in person in the Austin, TX area or virtually. My specialty is helping adult individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, and stress with coping strategies and cognitive-behavioral techniques. I work with the client to observe and acknowledge past beliefs and motivations and then work to rewrite that hindering narrative. I also see couples seeking relationship healing and connection through identifying hurtful patterns to rebuild trust and intimacy.

If you’re a parent with a child or teen that is experiencing a rough time and you’re unsure of what steps to take next, then I am here to help. Youth that act out, who are easily overwhelmed, have a difficult time focusing at home or school, who have outbursts, or who are experiencing growing pains and need extra support are ideal candidates for my services. It may seem that right now, in this moment, your son or daughter’s troubles have become unmanageable, but things will get better for your little one and your family.

Do you often feel weighed down by feelings of depression, anxiety, or overthinking? If you find it challenging to advocate for yourself, come talk to me!

Together, we will work on strategies that will allow you to address the root cause of said difficulty and build meaningful connections and confidence. It can be difficult and overwhelming to begin the counseling process but remember that asking for help is a sign of strength. Let's create a judgment-free, safe, and exciting sesh.

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. 

Everybody is going through something. We all have our own stories to tell, issues we need to face, and storms we have to go through. I want to come alongside you and help you find healing in your circumstances whatever they may be. If you have experienced trauma, have unresolved pain or are struggling with current issues, I want to help you process those things in a healthy, therapeutic way to resolve the negative emotions and behaviors tied to them. Through grief and loss, depression, anxiety or marital problems, I am here to help you find healing, comfort and strength within yourself to overcome and move forward.

Accepting New Clients as of March 2024! I have a heart for supporting children, adolescents, and young adults during challenging seasons of growth.

Do you find yourself sitting amongst the ashes of charred dreams seeking ways to find meaning in the mess? Do you feel hopeless, or helpless, triggered from past harm? Do you have the nagging sensation there is more goodness to be found in life? These negative experiences do not have to prevent you from living with delight, freedom and pleasure. Together, we can reframe your story through a counseling relationship. I believe sitting with another person to explore their story, and their perceptions related to those stories, can redeem broken places, restore vitality, and reveal hope for the future. You can experience healing.

If you are going through challenging times, you are not alone. I am not afraid of exploring BIG feelings. I have a unique understanding of interpersonal neurobiology and offer research-based interventions related to the brain regions involved in symptomology. I specialize in healing PTSD. We will work together as you study yourself and I will reflect back to you your courage, strength and unique insight. It is my intention to provide support in a safe and accepting environment. I am extremely honored to have the opportunity to travel alongside those who continue towards a path of healing and well-being.

At the 2510 Collective, we know that sometimes life can be a lot. Sometimes our mind powers through and we are none the worse for wear. Other times, the brain gets stuck on sad or scared or angry. We want to let go and move on, but the restless nights and tiring days seem to last forever. All too often, the problems seep into relationships with the ones you love the most. During these phases of life, counseling can be the rope that you can use to pull yourself free – to get unstuck. Unstuck means you feel again in control of your emotions, your body, and your thoughts. Unstuck means you feel confident and safe in your relationships.

Accepting new clients. Are you struggling in your relationships? Are you feeling frustrated and overwhelmed? Maybe you haven’t found the connection you are looking for or your current relationship is difficult. Sometimes you feel anxious or you might feel like you want to run away. You might feel uncertain of what to do next. If you want to change this pattern in your relationships, you are not alone. Together we can navigate through these challenges and develop the necessary skills to create the life and relationships you desire. I offer a safe, judgement-free space while also being compassionately direct to challenge you.
