Frequently Asked Questions
What is trauma therapy for adults?
One of my specialties as a therapist in Austin is working with adults who feel overwhelmed and burned out or feeling stuck, unfulfilled and disconnected. In therapy, we will talk about what is driving these feelings. And so much can be tied back to early experiences in our lives when we formed our sense of self (who we think we are). In our time together you will start to reclaim what was lost: Empowerment, fulfillment, happiness, intimacy, vitality and aliveness. To step into who you really are!
What is grief counseling like?
I have offered grief counseling in Austin for many years. And people have come to me for all kinds of reasons: Death of a child, spouse, sibling, parent. Often, they just want to be heard, understood. A safe place to process their feelings (overwhelm, disbelief, anger, grief, depression, stress, alone). Every client need is unique. If you are interested in learning more about what grief counseling, I would recommend setting up a time with me to connect and talk.
How long does therapy take?
Sessions are 50 minutes long, and I typically see people weekly or every-other-week. I also offer 80-minute sessions if you feel like you need the additional time. On average, adult clients who come to work with me for grief therapy, trauma therapy and couples therapy are in services for 6 months to a year. Some people choose to end therapy sooner, and some stay longer. The amount of time you’re in therapy will depend on your goals, the severity of your issues or concerns, your financial capacity, the amount of time you have for therapy each week, and how much work you do between sessions to apply your new skills to your day-to-day life.
How do I pick a therapist in Austin?
It may be that you have searched using Google or perhaps you have been given a list of referrals to find the right therapist for you. This might be the first time you have tried therapy or it might be a time when you feel like you want to get back into therapy. All the same, I admire your willingness to take the plunge. For me, it is all about the right fit. It is often said (and true) that the biggest indicator for positive income is the therapeutic relationship. So I invite you to schedule a free, no-obligation 15-minute phone consultation with me to see if it feels good and right. To start therapy with me, you should know that I have a completely virtual practice for clients in Texas.

Childhood Trauma Therapy for Adults
Your childhood may have included neglect and/or abuse (emotional, physical, sexual). Through these hard experiences, we develop a false sense of self to cope and survive which shows up as depression, anxiety and addiction. All of these are signs of childhood trauma and PTSD that have not been addressed.
I have dedicated my career to being a trauma therapist and helping people just like you to break free of old beliefs and patterns, stop the suffering and pain and open up to motivation, aliveness, deeper connection, confidence, compassion and fulfillment in your life- your true or authentic self.

Grief Therapy
Sometimes a grief therapist can be a great support when emotions and shock are too painful to navigate. Grief can come in many forms like the death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship or after a major life event.
It may be that a loss has left you feeling overwhelmed with pain, regret, disbelief and/or uncertainty or feeling shut down and hopeless.
