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 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 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 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.

We use psychotherapy to build a personal bond that helps you to realize your own strengths. We work with people to develop belief and faith in their own ability to handle life on life’s terms. By building a strong interpersonal relationship as opposed to a starkly clinical one, we try to get a true understanding of what is triggering discomfort in your life. We will try to uncover the causes as well as a timeline as to when your symptoms began and cultivate healthy alternatives to deal with the issues troubling you most. The goal is to help you to get to a point that you feel you have the ability to manage your own thoughts and feelings and emotions outside of the therapeutic relationship.

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.

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.

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.

Frequently the places we find ourselves stuck in life are born out of experiences from our past which we may not be able to recognize on our own. Psychotherapy can help you recognize what is occurring in the small moments of life which translates to helping you recognize and make changes in the larger ones. Increased awareness not only helps you to acknowledge what is happening in the moment, but helps you recognize the warning signs before you ever reach the moment. Awareness, also, allows you to develop and implement a plan using new skills through which you can live in the freedom of the moment, not stuck in the unconscious recreation of the past.

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.

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.

Psychotherapy is a collaborative treatment based on the relationship between an individual and therapist. It provides s supportive environment that allows you to talk openly with someone who's nonjudgmental. We will work together to identify and change the though and maladaptive coping skills that are keeping you from living authentically. This work will encompass whatever challenges arise in the future.

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.

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

Psychotherapy is about gaining self-awareness. When we can identify negative self-talk, we can begin to challenge it and replace it with healthy, positive self-talk. When we understand communication and relationship patterns, we can learn to set boundaries and create new patterns of behavior. When we learn that we are engaging in people-pleasing behaviors, we can explore why and then begin to seek validation from ourselves rather than someone else. Everyone has value.

Psychotherapy can help many difference areas in life such as self esteem, depression, anxiety, fears, affair recovery, sexual issues, communication issues, etc. I am a therapist that specializes in relationships, intimacy, and sexual health. I use solution focused approaches to help each individual and/or relationships to get the most out of therapy.
