Rebuilding Your Sense of Self in Austin, TX

Therapy for when you feel disconnected, lost, or unsure who you really are.

“I Don’t Know Who I Am Anymore.”

You’ve checked the boxes. You’ve shown up for everyone. But somewhere along the way, you’ve started to wonder:
Who am I underneath it all?

Maybe you’ve always felt like a chameleon — adapting to what others need, but rarely tuning into your wants. Or perhaps a recent life change (a breakup, a job shift, a move, a loss) has cracked open a deeper question: What do I want? Who am I becoming?

You’re not broken for feeling unmoored. You’re just ready to reconnect.

Therapy for Identity, Self-Worth, and Rediscovery

In therapy, we create a space to gently unpack the patterns, pressures, and stories that have shaped your sense of self, and to begin rewriting the ones that no longer serve you.

You don’t have to have a name for what you’re going through. You just need space to be real and curious.

We might explore:

  • People-pleasing and perfectionism

  • Identity exploration (gender, sexuality, values, purpose)

  • Shame, self-doubt, and inner critic

  • Religious deconstruction or cultural conflict

  • Family of origin wounds

  • Chronic feelings of “not enough” or “too much”

  • Emotional numbing or disconnection from the body

  • Struggles with boundaries and self-expression

  • The gap between who you are and who you feel allowed to be

My Approach to Identity and Self Work

You don’t need to become someone new. You need space to return to who you are — with compassion, clarity, and care.

My therapy style is modern, human, and relational. I’m not here to label or fix you — I’m here to sit beside you as we explore what’s been buried, what’s ready to grow, and how to feel more at home in yourself.

I draw from:

  • Attachment-based and trauma-informed care – to understand where patterns come from

  • ACT, DBT, and CBT – for building insight and real-world tools

  • Relational and interpersonal models – to foster connection and authenticity

  • Humanistic and psychodynamic therapy – to support deep personal exploration

  • Multicultural awareness – because identity is shaped by culture, community, and power

This work is especially helpful for:

  • LGBTQ+ individuals exploring identity and belonging

  • Anyone who’s lost touch with their wants, needs, or voice

Start Reconnecting With Yourself

You don’t need to be more of anything. You just need to feel more like you.
