Therapists for college students near Austin, TX

I am a Licensed Therapist in private practice, providing individual and couples therapy across Texas through secure telehealth. My specialties include helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, anger, infidelity, trauma, and relationship challenges. I also work with couples to improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen emotional intimacy using research-based methods such as the Gottman Method. While faith is not a requirement for therapy, I welcome clients who would like their Christian values to be integrated into the counseling process. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and focused on equipping clients with practical tools to create lasting change in their personal and relational lives.

Do you struggle with just being yourself these days? Well, kick off your shoes, relax, put up your feet, let's get real and talk. Many people see therapy as a never ending cycle of therapists sitting with a notepad repeating, "How does that make you feel?". I can assure therapy with me is never a cliche. I know how easy it is to feel alone and always asking why me. Some days it's easy to feel trapped looking for the fastest escape. Others you want to burst into tears or moments you feel like you're making all the wrong choices. I can understand if you need a break and want to scream. I'm here to help. Let's explore those issues you may be struggling with together and take back control of your life.

Yes, I'm just as funny as Melissa McCarthy! Going through a big change or feeling unsure about what’s next? I support young adults and people in transition—whether you’re starting something new, ending something old, or feeling stuck in between. I also work with clients of all ages and bring a warm, down-to-earth approach grounded in practical tools like CBT and solution-focused therapy. I’ve lived a lot of life—raised a family, worked in real estate and corporate settings—and I bring that perspective into the work we do together.

It’s normal to experience feelings of fear, loneliness, and sadness as we navigate life’s challenges. Acknowledging the need for support is both brave and deeply human. By seeking therapy, you’re showing kindness to yourself and those you care about, opening the door to more meaningful relationships. I work with individuals and couples, and I’m particularly passionate about working with college-aged adults, young professionals, and couples preparing for marriage. Whether you're building self-confidence, navigating relational anxiety, or feeling isolated, I offer a supportive environment where you can be understood and seen. If this sounds like what you need, email me to start the journey!

Feeling unhappy, stressed, overwhelmed, out of control of your own life? We often underestimate the need to have someone support us through challenging experiences and difficult emotions to get us to a better place. It takes courage to seek change and take control of our lives to get us to where we want to be. As a counselor, my goal is to help you gain insight into your current situation and guide you into learning how to manage your emotions so you can break free from the obstacles that are hindering you from having the quality of life you wish to have.

Bottling up or stuffing down emotions can be so overwhelming to teen girls and women, especially in today’s social climate. The people that you love the most are not always equipped to support you in ways that you need and deserve. Social stigma that most people have about therapy can deter you from seeking the help that you need and deserve. I am here to help you navigate the spaces that appear difficult. Therapy helps provide a safe, non judgemental and confidential space to talk about the challenges you would like to process. Whether you have anxiety, depression or low self-esteem, together we will come up with a plan to discover your strengths so you can live your best life. Help me help you, become a better version of yourself. Life is not easy, but it is easier when you have the right help and support.

Having trouble adjusting to life's stressors? I am passionate about helping clients discover their strengths and unique gifts to help them overcome whatever obstacle they are facing. I truly believe everyone already has the potential inside of them to feel healthy, happy, and fulfilled in their life - I am here just to be a patient and friendly guide in that journey inward. I strive to make everyone feel comfortable in my (virtual) office, whether it is your first time in therapy or you are a lifelong therapy fan.
