Find a Therapist in El Lago, Texas.

Psychotherapy? For some, a therapist office and talking about themselves is a very comfortable and “normal” setting. For many others, it’s a HUGE step out of their comfort zone, evoking fears and every movie cliché about laying on a couch. To help calm these fears, I tend to compare psychotherapy to athletic coaching. Top athletes – LeBron James, J.J. Watt, Serena Williams – all have a coach. These athletes excel at their individual sport, have been playing for most of their lives; and still benefit from coaching. In life, or sport, we sometimes lack insight to what blocks our progress to our full potential. In psychotherapy, like a coach, I offer that support, feedback, and clarity.

My approach to psychotherapy is rooted in fostering a therapeutic alliance built on trust, empathy, and active listening. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in depth. Through a client-centered and integrative approach, clients will benefit from tailored interventions and techniques that address their unique needs and goals. I strive to empower clients to gain self-awareness, develop coping strategies, and facilitate personal growth.

I integrate multiple forms of talk therapy, building coping skills, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and psychoeducation to support clients dealing with trauma, grief, life transitions, anxiety, and more. I provide tools for managing distressing emotions and situations, empowering clients to navigate life's challenges with resilience. EMDR facilitates the processing and resolution of traumatic experiences, offering relief from associated symptoms. IFS allows clients to explore and integrate aspects of themselves, fostering inner harmony. Psychoeducation enhances understanding of symptoms and strategies for self-care, to empower clients

This private practice is focused on helping clients create a balanced and joyful life. Everyone can discover the way that works best for him or her. It appears that we tend to focus way too much time and energy on "right vs. wrong." This seems to only cause more confusion, indecisiveness, and other insecurities. Seeking outside guidance in times of struggle can be powerful and transformative. One of the goals of this practice is to help clients discover a deeper sense of self and acceptance. Another intention of this practice practice is to help clients build and maintain the necessary tools they already have existing within themselves, and lead clients to new discoveries of living life in a more balanced and enjoyable way.

Life poses many challenges to all of us throughout of lives. When life becomes overwhelming, or your emotions seem like they are out of control, it often helps to have an objective person listen to what is occuring in your life. My goal is to hear what you have to say in a nonjudmental way, in an atmosphere of safety. Together we can explore what is going on with you, and I can provide you with tools to decrease your emotional suffering, gain insight into your issue, and increase coping (individually or within your relationships).

In my practice, as a psychotherapist, I prioritize, creating a warm, nonjudgmental environment, where clients feel heard, and understood. I tailor therapy to each individuals unique needs, drawing from a range of evidence based techniques. Through collaborative exploration and insight building, clients gain clarity, self awareness, and practical skills to navigate life‘s challenges. Together we work towards fostering, personal growth, resilience, and greater overall well-being. My approach empowers clients to make meaningful changes and live more fulfilling lives.

Lake Austin Psychotherapy offers general psychotherapy via the narrative perspective of externalization from the problem. Additional subconscious processing with EMDR can facilitate cognitive narrative connections that allow for new, adaptive perspectives to emerge. While past experiences cannot be changed, the story we tell ourselves can always evolve.

My approach to helping individuals or families through psychotherapy encompasses getting to know the individual as being a unique person that does not have to fit into everyone else's mold. Psychotherapy involves compassion and empathy for my clients. I am honored to be on the other side of my client's exploration and journey in discovery. I provide guidance where my client needs me to be with them.

My approach to therapy is not a quick fix or a band-aid approach. It is not self-help advice or executive coaching. It is a process of research-proven, emotional surgery that gets at the heart of your issues and heals them at their source. If you’re like many of my clients, you’ve conquered in the workplace and found success. And yet, you’re not at peace with your life. Whether it’s stress, trauma, addiction, strained relationships, or a lack of motivation, something needs to change. Often, my role is to help successful men get their hearts back. I can help you rediscover your purpose, reconnect with what matters, heal your insecurities, improve your relationships, and leave a legacy.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.
