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.

Because you are reading this, it is likely you are seeking psychotherapy for some problem in your life that you would like to change. Or, perhaps, you need support for something that cannot be changed, such as major loss. Psychotherapy offers a way to first understand what is bothering you on a deep level, understand what the source of the concern is, and then movement toward changing what can be changed. I use a number of professionally recognized approaches to assist you, including supportive therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, family systems understanding, EMDR, and other approaches tailored to your personal goals. During our work together, I offer respectful, compassionate guidance.

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.

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.

I mainly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Logotherapy in my practice. With CBT, my work with clients involves using the relationships between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to make your goals happen. With Logotherapy, our work would begin by exploring your values and identifying any obstacles to living a meaningful life. While these are my main approaches, I tend to tailor treatment plans to match each client's goals and concerns.

My approach to psychotherapy is compassionate, holistic, and client-centered. I work collaboratively with clients to explore their unique experiences, focusing on personal strengths and fostering self-awareness. Through a blend of evidence-based therapies, including cognitive-behavioral, narrative, and mindfulness-based techniques, I aim to empower individuals to navigate life’s challenges with resilience. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can develop deeper self-understanding, improve emotional regulation, and cultivate meaningful, lasting change that aligns with their personal values and goals.

I counsel using a combination of clinical training and experience as well as biblical principles. Ten years of experience providing psychotherapy has equipped me to offer my clients with the tools and skills they need to succeed in life. My primary focus is clients in crisis from infidelity and other fractures to the most important relationships in their lives.

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.

If you are thinking of changing your life for the better, therapy can be an instrumental tool in the process. Most people experience stress at some point in their lives and psychotherapy can help you transition from stress to confidence. Working with one of our therapists gives you an outside perspective to help you understand and express your feelings in a compassionate setting, clarify and focus on what you value most in life, develop strategies to help you cope with difficult emotions, identify your unique strengths, and set and achieve goals for living the life you want to live. You are special. As therapists, we appreciate and honor your uniqueness and feel privileged to help.

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.

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.
