Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Austin, TX

As a licensed professional counselor and psychotherapist with a passion for helping individuals, couples, and families, I believe prioritizing mental health is the key to happiness and stability in life. People can change if they have the right tools. Life can be a challenge but often it is our response to those challenges that set us apart from those with healthier coping skills.

Hi, I’m really glad you’re here. If you’ve been feeling stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand, overwhelmed by anxiety or life transitions, or noticing the same struggles showing up in your relationships, you’re not alone. Many people carry ways of coping that once helped them get through difficult moments but now feel limiting or exhausting. I work with young adults, adults, and couples who are ready to better understand themselves and create meaningful, lasting change. With a background in education and counseling across all developmental stages, I bring a deeper understanding of how early experiences shape who we are today and how we can begin to shift those patterns.

I have over a decade of experience working across both educational and clinical settings, supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and patterns rooted in early experiences. I work with young adults, adults, and couples who want to break out of cycles that no longer serve them and feel more grounded, intentional, and connected in their lives. My work is especially helpful for those exploring how past experiences continue to influence present thoughts, emotions, and relationships.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I specialize in helping children, adolescents, and families navigate anxiety, behavioral challenges, emotional outbursts, school stress, low self-esteem, social difficulties, and major life transitions. I understand that when a child is struggling, the whole family can feel the impact. My goal is to provide support not only for your child, but for you as a parent as well.

Choosing a therapist is an important and personal decision. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and respected, while also helping you make meaningful and lasting changes.

I am a licensed psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience, and I specialize in trauma-informed, evidence-based care. As a prior military service member, I have a deep understanding of military culture and the unique stressors faced by service members, veterans, and their families. I work with both military and civilian clients who are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, sleep and pain challenges, substance use concerns, relationship stress, and major life transitions.

I have been a SW for 29 years. I received my bachelors of social work from Southern University and A&M College and my masters of social work from Southern at New Orleans. As a SW, at DCFS/CW, I have served as in Investigations, Foster Care, Family Service, Adoption, and as a Child Welfare Supervisor, CW Trainer, and a CW Manager. PRN work included working in MH/SA, hospitals, hospice and school SW. I am a TBRI Pract. & adoption competent. I help people who seek help! I retired from DCFS on 01/21/2026. Please see link below on the impact I’ve made on people across the state and allow me to help you too. Please message me for an appointment. Thank you.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes therapy should feel like a safe place to breathe, reflect, and grow. I work with kids, teens, and adults, especially those dealing with trauma, anxiety, or overwhelming life stress. I’ve spent years supporting youth in foster care, and that experience has shaped my belief that healing happens through connection, consistency, and compassion.

In our work together, you can expect a mix of practical tools, honest conversation, and a focus on helping you understand yourself more clearly. I use CBT and trauma‐informed approaches, but I tailor every session to what you need most. My goal is to help you feel supported, capable, and more in control of your story.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, relationship stress, or difficult life experiences? You might be struggling to manage emotions, feeling stuck in patterns that aren’t working, or unsure how to move forward. I work with children, teens, adults, and couples facing challenges like depression, trauma, family conflict, and major life transitions. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel understood, supported, and equipped with tools to build confidence, improve relationships, and feel more in control of your life.
