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.

Psychotherapy isn't just talking with someone who understands psychology, it is an experiential process where people learn how to locate and listen to their own wisdom. It is a process of discovery where all the different parts of yourself will have an opportunity to voice themselves fully and they will learn to cooperate with each other instead of battle each other, leading to more clarity, creativity, and inner peace.

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

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.

Talk therapy can be helpful with a wide range of issues. I want to work with you not just to get to the root of the issues that make it difficult to cope with life, but also the secret strengths you have that can make things easier. I am strengths focused, and able to help you with quick, short term advancements. I am also available for long term sessions so we can reinforce the things we learn along the way.

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.

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.

Are you struggling or feeling hopeless? If you are facing a difficult time in your life, I can provide support and help you to make changes. Therapy can help you to take control of your life and find greater fulfillment. I provide psychotherapy and counseling for individuals, children, adolescents, and parents. I utilize a variety of approaches in order to best meet your personal needs, including cognitive behavior, interpersonal, and art therapy.

I offer general psychotherapy (talk therapy) for individuals (including teens), families, and couples. I see my role as one of walking alongside you, guiding you, teaching skills, providing resources at times, and helping you figure out what direction you need to take. I ultimately aim to help you find your own inner strength and develop a personal power necessary to make choices that are best for you.

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.

I work with clients to uncover unproductive thought patterns and behavioral choices. Through talk therapy, we investigate the thoughts and beliefs that hold you back and keep you repeating the same cycle with the same results. I approach therapy from a no-judgment, compassionate vantage and work with you to alleviate the fear, stress and anxiety that keeps you "stuck".

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.
