Psychoanalytic Therapists in Round Rock, TX

I have been serving adults and couples in the Round Rock/Austin area for over 15 years. My passion is working with adults with various different presenting issues, including loss and grief, marriage/relationship concerns, and trauma. It is my belief that a sound therapeutic relationship is a foundation for healing and I seek to provide that for all of my clients. Through this therapeutic relationship, and through a variety of treatment modalities including Object-Relations, Psychoanalytic, and Internal Family Systems, I strive to assist my clients in finding solutions to their concerns that work for their unique situations.

Emotional, psychological, and interpersonal/social growth is a continual process of self transformation and change. At points when one feels stuck or confused in that process, or when life just isn't working, it often helps to connect with a therapist. I provide a safe space where you can be, or recover/rediscover, your authentic self; deepen the emotional connection with yourself and others; clarify thoughts, beliefs, and values; consider new ways of being in the world and w/others; develop healthier adaptive strategies for relating to yourself and others; and work through past and/or present griefs and traumas.

We all have moments in our lives where we could use a little extra support to get through difficult times. We are all trying to manage the struggles of daily life and all the things that come along with balancing work, relationships, family, friendships, and many other things that surface unexpectedly. I can help you improve your quality of life, establish the tools needed to work through your current struggles & support you in getting back to the joy and excitement you once felt in your life. "If you carry joy in your heart, you can heal any moment" -Carlos Santana.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, who specializes in helping individuals challenged by substance use and mental health conditions. I provide a safe environment, centered on trust, where my clients can grow, explore, and reach their full potential.I take a compassionate, client-centered approach that is empathetic and non-judgmental to help my clients feel both supported and encouraged in the changes they strive to make in their lives.We will work together to accomplish your therapy goals, to give you tools to help empower you to navigate and manage both challenges and opportunities.

Life has a way of presenting people with challenges they never could have imagined would happen. This can lead to confusion, depression, anxiety and/or grief. Emotional pain can be as incapacitating as physical pain. My approach helps clients explore the internal messages their body & mind provides by tuning into the wisdom of these internal messages. When clients explore their depression, anxiety, etc. from a non-judgmental, compassionate perspective, it often provides a wealth of information about unresolved fears, strengths & new possibilities. Through conscious choices & greater awareness, it's possible to find enriched meaning in life by bringing curiosity & acceptance to their inner experience.

Do you feel stuck but can't quite put your finger on what is is or where to go from here? Are you looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you just feel like there's something missing and you can't quite put your finger on it? Are you a new Mom or a single Mom that feels alone and isolated? Are you just going through the motions in your relationship and want to get back to or maybe for the first time experience true authentic openness and connection? Sound familiar? If you want to change, reach out to me.

I approach therapy from a holistic perspective and believe in the power to address the whole person- psychologically, physiologically, spiritually, and emotionally. I believe that my role as a therapist is to foster a safe and trusting space for my clients while acting as a guide to help uncover underlying needs and then support and empower through skill building and the processing of impactful experiences.

Despite your best efforts, life is unknowable - you can't always predict or be prepared for what comes your way. You might need help sorting out what's going on. As a therapist, I have learned that we are not alone in our struggles. People hurt together, and we also must heal together. Through our relationships and experiences, we can grow and rediscover what we thought was once lost. I want to help you down that path of discovery while using psychotherapeutic approaches such as attachment theory, AEDP, IFS, interpersonal neurobiology (IPNB), Somatic Experiencing, and EMDR.

Do you struggle with stress, anxiety, or depression that affects your relationships, your career, or your day-to-day life? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or frustrated by these issues and not know where to turn? Do you wonder if life could be more fulfilling? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious and overwhelmed by the competing demands of life and trying to find more balance. If you are motivated to make important changes in your life, therapy can be a big help.

I specialize in treating sexual addiction/problematic sexual behaviors. I am a Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist (CSAT) that believes the real issue is not the need for more sex but the desire for real connection yet turning to counterfeit connection due to past relational hurts, abuse, rejection, neglect, and abandonment. I am also a certified emotionally focused couples therapist and I specialize working with couples hurting from infidelity and betrayal. I believe that the relationship can be restored and become stronger than ever.

Are we falling out of love? Were we ever in love? Are we losing our connection? Did we ever really have one? Are these some of the questions you have and need the answers to? In the past, I have also wondered: how do you know if a relationship is right? How do you repair the relationship after the mistakes have been made or the connection is lost? I set out on a lifelong journey to answer these very questions for you.

I take a holistic, eclectic approach to mental health by adapting to the needs of each individual. As a clinician, I've had the privilege of working with both children and adults in various treatment settings including alternative education, residential care, non-profit, community mental health, and mobile crisis intervention. These experiences have shaped my compassionate and non-directive style. I believe that you are the expert on your lived experience. As we work together, I promise to provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where your will be heard, validated, and unconditionally regarded. Feel free to reach out!

Are you wanting to save your relationship? Do you often argue about the same issues? Do you desire the closeness you once had, but don't know how to reconnect? Being in a relationship is difficult work, and we all experience times when our relationship ideal is not our reality. The good news is that you can get back those warm feelings that drew you together in the beginning. I can help you make sense of the struggles, and explore conflict in a way that brings clarity, understanding and intimacy back in to your relationship. I also have received specialized training to help couples experiencing betrayal and infidelity.

You're savvy and high achieving, maybe even an expert in helping others, but your own anxiety, sensitivity, and self-criticism are things you haven't been able to overcome on your own. You're used to minimizing your adversities and traumas by saying things like "that's just life," and "other people have it worse." Still, your stress is wearing on you, and while you hate to admit it, it's affecting your relationships, too. There's a part of you that's curious if you can exist in the world a bit differently- maybe feel the hard stuff without getting stuck in it, and maybe feel a greater sense of self worth along the way.

I believe that every person has inherent value, and was uniquely made for this Earth. Most people saw the best in themselves and others, when at some point they were overcome with disappointment, hurt, or other of life's challenges. When this happens they may find themselves asking, "Who is there to listen without judgement?, or "Who can I tell what happened when I think nobody will understand?" These people want to have a life worth living, but feel like it's too much to navigate on their own.

Are you feeling stuck in life or your relationships? Are you going through a separation, affair, divorce or breakup? I specialize in helping individuals and couples get unstuck from trauma, infidelity, sex/intimacy issues, perfectionism, work stress, breakups and divorce. My clients are both couples and individuals. I also work with individuals navigating recovery from traumatic childhoods, religious trauma, attachment issues and loved ones with personality disorders.

I believe that people come into counseling with their own solutions. My job is to create a unique therapy for each individual to help them uncover and build upon strengths they already possess. I seek to make the therapy room a safe & non-judgmental place for all emotional experiences, and a place to make peace with parts of ourselves that we fear & dislike. As clients build compassion for themselves, they find their compassion for others growing, and the strength to examine & change their lives for greater happiness & fulfillment.
