Find a Therapist in Van Alstyne, Texas.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Recent studies have now proven the positive affects of Psychotherapy on the brain.

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.

psychotherapy is a transformative process that offers people a safe and supportive place to explore thoughts, emotions, and experiences. As a trained therapist, I am here to partner with you on your journey to enhanced self exploration as we work to tackle the challenges and wins you have along the way. In my sessions, you can expect to feel validated and heard as well as challenged (in a good way) so that you can bring your best foot forward into work, relationships, and adjustments to change. I am eager to get to know you and find out what strengths you bring to the table!

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.

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.

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.

I use two modalities in my practice: restoration therapy and biblical principles. Restoration therapy addresses the root causes of emotional and mental health issues, restoring relationships with God, self, and others. Biblical principles provide guidance and insight for my clients, helping them find hope, healing, and direction through their faith. Together, these two modalities provide a comprehensive approach to promoting personal growth and healing.
