Austin has been a professional in the field of mental health since 2015 when he graduated from the University of Central Florida with a MA in Counselor Education and a BS in Psychology and Leadership Studies. His worldview and approach to therapy has been largely shaped by experiences working and living in various settings around the world, the vastness of which allow him to connect with a wide range of clients, providing unique perspectives on their concerns.
In therapy you will be invited to courageously bring awareness to your patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving by gently revisiting their origins. We will slowly and carefully deconstruct them and I will guide you in intentionally reconstructing new patterns based on your beliefs and values. We will teach your mind and body to move from “survival mode” to actually living by learning to face all aspects of being human head on, especially those that currently feel terrifying or uncomfortable.
When done well, I believe therapy is hard. It can be messy, uncomfortable, even painful at times. Our sessions will also be filled with laughter, irreverence, probably profanity, and ultimately will become a space for you to discover what it feels like to be safe, to be loved, and to be fully yourself.
