If something on my homepage felt familiar but hard to put into words, this page is where we can start to make sense of what’s going on.
I offer individual and relationship therapy in Austin, TX for adults who are navigating patterns that feel hard to name — but are even harder to keep ignoring or carrying on their own.
Below are some of the themes that bring many people into my office. You don’t have to figure out which one sounds like you before reaching out. We can figure it out together.
areas i work with
Everyone seems to think you’re doing just fine. But you don’t feel fine.
trauma & complex trauma therapy in austin, tx
Complex trauma and complex PTSD
Religious trauma
Intergenerational trauma
Childhood and developmental trauma
You might be working through the impact of traumatic events and complex trauma that continue to shape relationships, self-worth, and emotional patterns in adulthood. Trauma doesn’t always look dramatic. It can show up as chronic anxiety, difficulty trusting, people-pleasing, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others.
In our work together, we move at a pace that feels slow and grounded, paying attention to how past experiences continue to live in the present. I offer trauma-informed individual and relationship therapy in Austin, Texas and across the state for adults who want support making sense of these patterns and finding a way forward.
You can’t imagine having this same fight for the rest of your life — no matter how much love is in the relationship.
relationships & couples therapy in austin, tx
Ongoing conflict or communication breakdown
Feeling disconnected or not on the same team
Family of origin dynamics impacting current relationships
Cross-cultural or interfaith relationship stress
Navigating change or life transitions as a couple
Perhaps you’re navigating strain in your closest relationships — whether it’s ongoing conflict, feeling disconnected from a partner, or repeating patterns that are hard to break. Relationship challenges often have deeper roots in family history, attachment patterns, or past experiences that continue to shape how we relate to one another.
I offer relationship and couples therapy in Texas for partners who want to feel more aligned, more understood, and more on the same team. Our work focuses not just on resolving surface conflict, but on understanding the emotional dynamics underneath it.
You keep asking yourself “What am I even doing with my life?”
identity, self-worth, & fear of abandonment
Self-esteem and worthiness
Fear of abandonment or rejection
Identity development
Cultural or spirital concerns
Navigating marginalized identity
The overlap between work, calling, and sense of self
Questions of identity and self-worth often surface during periods of change or when long-standing patterns begin to feel unsustainable. If you’re navigating concerns around self-esteem, fear of abandonment, purpose, or the tension between who they’ve been and who they’re becoming — you’re in the right place.
I work with adults in Austin and across Texas who are exploring cultural identity, spirituality, marginalized identity, family expectations, and the overlap between work and personal identity. Therapy can offer a space to untangle these questions with care rather than urgency.
You need a break, you need some space — but when you ask for these things, you feel like a failure.
burnout, perfectionism, & chronic stress
Perfectionism and people-pleasing
Burnout and emotional exhaustion
Everyday stress and overwhelm
Difficulty setting boundaries
Feeling responsible for everyone else
Burnout and chronic stress often build slowly over time — especially for people who are capable, conscientious, and used to carrying a lot. Perfectionism and people-pleasing can begin as adaptive strategies, but eventually leave you feeling depleted, resentful, or disconnected from your own needs.
I offer therapy in Austin, Texas and via telehealth across the state for adults who are navigating boundary-setting, emotional exhaustion, or the pressure to hold everything together. Our work focuses not on becoming “better” or more productive, but on understanding what’s driving these patterns and finding a more sustainable way forward.
Many of these concerns overlap.
Trauma can shape relationships. Burnout can mask deeper questions about identity and self-worth. Fear of abandonment can stem from complex trauma. Many different struggles can leave your emotions feeling overwhelming and difficult to manage.
Your experiences don’t exist in a vacuum — culture, identity, and larger systems all shape how you experience yourself and your relationships. You don’t have to sort everything into the “right” category before reaching out. We can make sense of it together.
