Individual Therapy
individual therapy in austin
You don’t have to keep doing this alone. Maybe you’re feeling stuck, disconnected in your relationships, or overwhelmed by emotions you can’t seem to shake. You might be someone who’s always relied on your intelligence, creativity, or drive to succeed — but right now, something isn’t working, and you’re ready for real change.
I can help you understand the patterns that keep you stuck and learn to relate to yourself and others with more clarity, self-compassion, and confidence. Together, we’ll look at what’s happening beneath the surface and help you to move forward in a way that feels authentic to you.

This work tends to resonate if
-
You keep ending up in the same kinds of relationships — or the same kinds of fights — and you want to understand why
-
You look like you have it together on the outside but feel disconnected, anxious, or like you're performing your way through life
-
You struggle to set boundaries or ask for what you need — and when you do, it comes out sideways
-
You're carrying shame, self-criticism, or a deep sense that you're never quite enough
-
You're highly sensitive or empathetic and feel overwhelmed by other people's emotions — or your own
-
Old family dynamics keep showing up in your current relationships, and you can feel it but can't seem to stop it
-
You're going through a major transition — divorce, career change, becoming a parent, a loss — and it's shaking everything loose
-
You're dealing with grief that's hard to talk about — pregnancy loss, termination for medical reasons, the loss of someone to suicide — and you need someone who understands how isolating that can be
-
You're neurodivergent, or you love someone who is, and you want to understand how that shapes your relationships
-
You'd like support in improving your relationship to sex or exploring your sexuality
-
You want to change your relationship with alcohol or other substance use

How I work
I'm not just looking at the problem you came in with. I'm looking underneath it — at how you were raised, what you learned about relationships and needs and conflict, and how all of that is shaping what's happening now.
I'll reflect back what I see, ask the questions you might be avoiding, and help you connect the dots between your history and your present. I'll also help you have a new experience of being your full self in our work together. You can experiment with being more honest with me than you typically let yourself be; building that muscle in therapy can gradually translate to other relationships in your life.
When trauma is part of the picture, I use EMDR to help process experiences that talk therapy alone hasn't been able to shift.
What you can expect to get out of this
-
A clearer understanding of your patterns — where they come from and how to break them
-
The ability to say what you mean and ask for what you need without guilt or explosion
-
More ease in your emotions — less reactivity, more capacity to stay present when things get hard
-
A stronger sense of who you are and what you want — not what you think you should want
-
Healing from past experiences so they stop driving your present
-
Better relationships — with your partner, your family, your friends, and yourself
