Find a Therapist in Oyster Creek, 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.

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.

I work with an entire person--the mind, emotions, body, spirit, relationships. I offer an alternative approach to traditional psychotherapy because sometimes we are stuck beyond our thoughts. I believe we are often stuck beyond how we think about something, but by how our body holds and remembers the experiences. After all, we feel the anxiety in our chest, shoulders or stomach. When we are depressed, we struggle to move, sleep, concentrate etc. I work to remove the block from wherever it is stuck. My clients come to me after years of ineffective therapy. They are looking for more than talking about their struggles or identifying how they think about them in favor of a change in living.

Living with a mental health issue can be very difficult and overwhelming, leaving you feeling alone and uncertain of where to turn. Unfortunately, countless people in Texas and around the world are affected by these conditions every single day. While there is no one-size-fits-all solution for any of these issues, online counseling in Texas can provide an alternative support system that can help individuals manage their symptoms more effectively.

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.

My approach to psychotherapy is rooted in fostering a therapeutic alliance built on trust, empathy, and active listening.

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.
