Hi, I'm Emily, I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, perfectionism, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, relationship concerns, and feelings of being overwhelmed or stuck. I also work with couples who are looking to improve communication, rebuild trust after infidelity or betrayal, strengthen emotional connection, or prepare for marriage.

My goal is to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and accepted without judgment. I believe therapy should feel collaborative and personalized, not one-size-fits-all. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or simply feeling disconnected from yourself or others, I'm here to help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Maybe your brain will not slow down long enough to finish what you started. Maybe the worry arrives before you are even out of bed. Maybe something happened years ago that you have never really put down. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors carrying ADHD, anxiety, depression, and trauma, and I have spent over six years doing it across private practice, schools, and clinics. I work with people of all ages and abilities, in English or Spanish. It would be my honor to be a part of your journey.

My personal and professional experiences have shaped my passion for supporting others through life’s transitions. As a military spouse for many years, I experienced firsthand the challenges of relocation, adapting to new environments, and rebuilding support systems. I have experience supporting individuals and families through grief, medical challenges, and emotional stress in both medical and school settings. I support adults navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and feelings of overwhelm or disconnection. I especially enjoy helping people through significant changes and adjusting to new seasons of life.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Austin

Finding postpartum therapists in Austin starts with looking for care that matches your specific needs after pregnancy or birth. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some people also look for a prenatal depression therapist or a counselor for pregnancy before birth. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience in perinatal mental health, postpartum depression counseling, or the PMH-C credential, which signals specialized training in perinatal mental health.

Austin has many therapists across neighborhoods and nearby areas, which can make it harder to narrow your options. For new parents, practical details often matter as much as specialty fit. Consider appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, and whether virtual sessions fit better with infant care, physical recovery, or an unpredictable schedule. Reading therapist bios can help you see how each person describes their approach, communication style, and experience with postpartum depression therapy, postpartum anxiety, and care for new moms.

Therapy in Austin can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway makes it easier to find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, offer upfront cost estimates, and are accepting new patients. You can compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
