When life feels overwhelming, therapy can help you slow down, process, and find your footing.

Therapy for Stress, Trauma, and Life Transitions in Austin, TX

You Don’t Have to Keep “Holding It All Together”Improve Communication. Deepen Connection.

Maybe you’re constantly anxious, overthinking everything, or feeling disconnected from yourself and the people around you. Maybe you’ve experienced something traumatic — recently or years ago — and you’re realizing it's still shaping how you move through the world.

Or maybe nothing “big” happened, but you’re just… not okay.

Whether you’re navigating past trauma, burnout, or a major life shift, therapy can help you move from surviving to living.

My Approach to Therapy

Therapy with me is grounded, human, and tailored to you — not some formula or one-size-fits-all method.

Integrative & Trauma-informed

We’ll move at your pace, using tools from:

  • ACT (to help with acceptance and values-based living)

  • DBT & CBT (for emotional regulation and reframing stuck patterns)

  • Attachment and relational theories (to explore how past relationships shaped you)

  • Psychodynamic exploration (for deeper insight into unconscious patterns)

  • Multicultural and identity-affirming lenses (so you don’t have to educate your therapist just to be understood)

You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit from this work. Sometimes therapy is just the first time someone asks, “What do you need?” — and really means it.

Who I Work With

I work with adults in Austin, TX who are ready to unpack what’s been weighing on them — especially if it hasn’t always felt safe to do so elsewhere.

I specialize in working with:

  • LGBTQ+ clients navigating identity, trauma, or family rejection

  • Students and early-career professionals balancing pressure, performance, and uncertainty

  • First-time therapy clients who feel nervous, curious, or unsure of where to start

You don’t need to “have it all figured out” to start therapy. You just need to want something to shift.

Common Concerns I Support

We don’t always have words for what we’re carrying — but that doesn’t make it any less heavy.

  • emotional, mental, or career-related

  • enmeshment, neglect, emotional abuse

  • and spiritual deconstruction

Based in Austin. Rooted in Real Connection.

Living in Austin can feel like being surrounded by movement and growth — and still feeling stuck inside. So many of my clients are high-functioning, deeply thoughtful people who are great at holding space for others — and struggling to hold space for themselves.

Therapy can be the one hour a week where you don’t have to perform, fix, or explain. Just show up. As you are.

Therapy for When Life Changes — Or You Do

Stress and trauma don’t just come from the “bad” things. Even good changes — graduating, moving, coming out, ending a relationship, switching careers — can leave you feeling overwhelmed and unmoored.

If you're feeling stuck in limbo, grieving who you used to be, or unsure of who you’re becoming, we can explore that together.
