INDIVIDUAL THERAPY IN AUSTIN & THROUGHOUT TEXAS
Individual Therapy for People Who Understand a Lot—and Still Feel Stuck
You may be capable and successful in many areas of your life and still find yourself struggling with anxiety, relationships, old patterns, or emotions that feel harder to understand or change.
Individual therapy gives you a place to slow things down, look beneath what’s happening on the surface, and understand the experiences and patterns shaping how you feel, relate, and respond. From there, we can work toward change that feels meaningful—not simply managing symptoms.

WHEN YOU’RE USED TO FIGURING THINGS OUT
Understanding yourself doesn’t always mean you know how to change what keeps happening.
You may already have a good sense of why you are the way you are. You can recognize your patterns, understand where they came from, and even know what you would like to do differently.
And still, something keeps getting in the way.
Maybe anxiety takes over even when you know there’s nothing to solve. You find yourself repeating patterns in relationships you thought you understood. You’re harder on yourself than you would ever be on someone else. Or you’ve built a life that looks good from the outside but doesn’t always feel the way you expected it to.
Therapy creates a place to move beyond simply understanding the pattern—to explore what keeps it in place and begin changing the way you experience yourself, your relationships, and your life.
WHAT BRINGS PEOPLE TO THERAPY
Sometimes you know exactly what’s wrong. Sometimes you just know something needs to change.
People come to individual therapy for many different reasons. Sometimes there is a clear problem—anxiety that has become difficult to manage, a painful relationship, a loss, or a major life transition. Other times, there is simply a growing sense that something isn’t working the way you want it to.
Anxiety & Overthinking
When your mind rarely quiets down, uncertainty feels difficult to tolerate, or you find yourself constantly anticipating what could go wrong.
Relationships & Attachment
Recurring patterns in dating, marriage, family relationships, or friendships that leave you feeling hurt, disconnected, or confused.
Life Transitions & Identity
Changes in relationships, career, family, aging, or other stages of life that raise questions about who you are and what you want next.
Grief, Loss & Trauma
Experiences from the past or present that continue to shape how you feel, relate to others, or experience yourself.
Self-Criticism & Shame
The internal pressure, perfectionism, or sense of never quite being enough that can persist even when others see you very differently.
Patterns You’re Ready to Change
Ways of coping, reacting, or relating that may once have made sense but no longer serve the life you want to live.
HOW I WORK WITH INDIVIDUALS
Insight matters.
But insight alone doesn’t always create change.
My work is grounded in the belief that the way you feel and respond today makes more sense when we understand the experiences, relationships, and patterns that shaped you.
Together, we’ll look beneath the immediate problem—not to stay focused on the past, but to understand what continues to influence you in the present. We’ll pay attention to recurring relationship patterns, emotional responses, beliefs about yourself, and the ways you’ve learned to protect or manage yourself when things feel difficult.
At the same time, therapy needs to help you live differently. I’m engaged and active in the process, and we’ll work toward changes you can actually experience—in your relationships, your choices, and the way you relate to yourself.
AN INTEGRATED APPROACH
Different people need different kinds of help.
There isn’t one therapeutic approach that works for every person or every problem. I draw from several ways of understanding people and relationships, choosing what is most useful for you and the work we’re doing together.
My training includes psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, family systems, trauma-informed work, DBT tools, and ADHD-informed treatment. These approaches allow us to work with both the deeper patterns shaping your experience and the practical changes that can make life feel different now.
The work may involve understanding how earlier relationships continue to influence you, learning to recognize and regulate emotional responses, changing patterns in current relationships, or developing more effective ways of navigating anxiety, conflict, boundaries, and difficult transitions.
Psychodynamic & Psychoanalytic Therapy
Understanding how earlier experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns continue to shape your present life.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Understanding emotional patterns and creating healthier ways of connecting in important relationships.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Understanding how difficult experiences can continue to shape emotions, relationships, and the way you respond to the world.
Family Systems Therapy
Understanding how family relationships, roles, and patterns can shape the way you see yourself, relate to others, and navigate your life.
DBT Tools
Practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and responding more intentionally.
ADHD-Informed Therapy
Understanding how ADHD can affect emotions, relationships, self-esteem, and everyday life.
WHAT CHANGE CAN LOOK LIKE
The goal isn’t to become a different person. It’s to have more choice in how you live.
Therapy can help you understand yourself more clearly, but the deeper goal is to create more freedom in the places where you’ve felt stuck.
That might mean noticing anxiety without immediately being pulled into it. Responding differently in relationships instead of repeating familiar patterns. Becoming less governed by self-criticism or other people’s expectations. Setting boundaries without as much guilt. Or being able to tolerate difficult emotions without feeling that you have to fix, avoid, or outrun them.
Change often happens gradually. You begin to recognize what’s happening sooner, understand what you need more clearly, and respond with greater intention rather than automatically falling into the same patterns.
Over time, the hope is that you feel more grounded in yourself—and more able to build relationships and a life that reflect who you actually want to be.
ONLINE INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Therapy that fits into your life—wherever you are in Texas.
I provide individual therapy online for adults in Austin and throughout Texas.
Online therapy allows you to meet from your own space without adding another commute to an already full life. For many of the people I work with, that makes it easier to create consistent time for therapy while balancing demanding careers, relationships, family, and everything else competing for their attention.
Whether you’re in Austin or elsewhere in Texas, our work remains personal, engaged, and focused on what is happening in your life.
