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

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 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 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.

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 don't have anything poetic to say about the therapeutic process. I think sometimes life gets difficult. We create patterns and routines that create patterns for us. I work with clients to change those patterns and routines. I won't help you find your inner child, but I will help you understand how hurts you may have experienced in the past can be causing problems for you now.

Often our past is influencing our present in ways that we may not even be aware of. Psychotherapy allows us to examine experiences and conditions we experienced in the past and recognize patterns and ways of reacting and thinking that may no longer serve us. As we address these issues anxiety, depression, and relationship issues can be resolved and help you become more emotionally regulated.

Psychotherapy is a general term that involves a counseling modality. My approach to counseling is very personalized and specific to the needs of the client. Sometimes it is important to go back through past history to help identify the experiences that may have led us off our course. Other times it's important to stay in the present and focus on solutions. My approach is to listen to my clients and craft a healing modality that best matches their needs. I have many tools to draw from to meet the client where he/she is.

Reaching out for help can be one of the hardest things you ever do for yourself. It's huge, not only to reveal your personal struggles to a stranger, but to face them for yourself, too. But if you're wondering whether your problems are "bad enough" for therapy, or if it's worth the challenges...you matter, and you deserve to be seen, to be taken seriously, and to get help. In my sessions you'll have both a space to be heard and understood, and to learn practical skills for overcoming your problems. Your values and needs come first, and we'll adapt treatment based on which methods work best for you. My approach is feminist, multicultural and LGBTQ-inclusive, so you can be fully yourself.
