I create a safe environment for clients to be open and process their emotions. I will walk with you to identify experiences that may impede your sense of self. Many clients I see are working through issues related to family of origin. Once these issues are identified we begin to understand the underlying cause of our behaviors. The pain of childhood wounds, traumas, and old patterns and beliefs can negatively affect all aspects of life. I believe everyone has an inner knowing and the ability to heal. I will assist you to understand the dynamics of your family of origin so you can move forward in your life with courage.

You can freely explore your ideas and feelings in the private, compassionate setting of our psychotherapy sessions. We will identify and address underlying issues using individualized strategies, promoting self-awareness and resilience. Together, we'll create useful coping skills and confront unproductive mental habits. You will be given the tools you need to manage life's obstacles with newfound clarity and purpose thanks to this method. Our therapy relationship will provide ongoing support and encourage constructive change, ensuring that you always feel heard and understood on your path to mental health.

My psychotherapy approach is dedicated to supporting individuals navigating a spectrum of mental health conditions and emotional challenges. Beyond symptom relief, it focuses on identifying psychological root causes, fostering enhanced emotional well-being and holistic healing. Psychotherapy proves beneficial for diverse conditions, including managing stress, coping with trauma, addressing the impact of medical illness or loss, such as the death of a loved one, and treating specific mental health issues like depression or anxiety. Given the range of psychotherapies available, each may be tailored to specific clinical situations, ensuring a personalized and effective treatment plan.

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.

The pursuit of happiness can sometimes seem to be a non-reality to individuals with extenuating circumstances in life. Adverse childhood experiences many times have a negative impact on how we view the world. We develop anxious attachments, avoidant attachments, and a combination of both. Our subconscious thoughts of what we experience in our childhood are usually the culprit of our low self-esteem, lack of assertiveness. and overall pessimism of the world. We give our clients the opportunity to explore these past realities with a listening professional ear. We process through these experiences then provide a professional psychoanalysis. From there, we work together to improve your outlook.

I provide psychotherapy to adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, career, and relationship stress. Therapy can be effective in helping you identify and process your emotions, untangle your thoughts and worries, heal from past wounds/relationships, and improve your confidence. When you schedule your first initial session with me, we will work together to determine what you want to get out of therapy and create an action plan of how to get there. Each session we will focus on a therapy goal and start exploring how to get closer to that goal through processing, activities, techniques, and research-based interventions.

Individual counseling may be oriented towards helping clients achieve their goals for their own personal development. People can grow, develop, and have positive change happen in their core beliefs, well into later stages of life. Younger or even mid-life clients may present with problems regarding sexuality or being at peace with their single sexuality. The Master Designer created us as sexual beings and much of my practice is aimed at helping clients overcome sexual anorexia or the other end of that continuum, sexual addiction and/or pornography addiction (with the added markers of distress being present.) Sex Therapy from a Christian perspective is a large part of my practice.

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.

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.

Psychotherapy is a process that allows people to overcome their own limitations. We often don't know how to do things differently and we end up getting the same results over and over again. Through talk therapy, we can look at these limitations and work together to make changes in how you think and how you act. The results then change and you will find yourself in new and healthier places in your relationships, and your life.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.
