Life has a way of throwing "unexpected" transitions our way—whether you’re a young adult finding your footing, a couple trying to bridge a growing gap, or a fellow veteran transitioning back to civilian life. As a proud veteran of the United States Navy, I bring a unique perspective of discipline, resilience, and service to my clinical work. I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Texas and have spent a decade supporting diverse populations, including first responders, civil service members, and families navigating the complexities of depression and relationship conflict.

I work with neurodivergent women, especially moms, who have trouble turning off their brain and connecting to their feelings. Many of my clients are people pleasing, perfectionistic, and struggle with their relationships with others. As someone with 10 years experience studying and practicing in the mental health space, I can tell you that having a sense of belonging and connectedness is the single greatest predictor of mental wellbeing.

Genuine belonging and connection to self or others may be difficult because you're carrying guilt, shame, self-blame, or the pressure to hold everything together. You may look “fine” from the outside while privately feeling overstimulated, burned out, or feeling a lack of purpose or direction.

Therapy can be a place to stop performing, slow down, and connect to yourself, so you can show up in connection and belonging with others in a genuine way.

I'm a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience working with adults navigating some of life's hardest seasons — infertility, adoption, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and the kind of grief that doesn't have a clear name yet. I'm faith-integrated in my approach, which means I honor the role spirituality plays in your life without ever making it a requirement. My clients describe me as warm, easy to talk to, and refreshingly direct. I don't do one-size-fits-all therapy — every treatment plan starts with your story.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Austin, TX

Searching for therapists in Austin starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Austin has a broad mental health community, with therapists across neighborhoods like South Austin, Mueller, Zilker, and North Austin. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions, look for a therapist whose listed specialties match what you want to address. Provider bios can also help you understand a therapist’s approach, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, couples therapy, or other styles of care.

In a major metro like Austin, having many options can make the search harder to narrow. Start with the practical details that shape whether a therapist is a usable match: appointment times, whether they are accepting new patients, location, and format. Some people prefer an in-person office close to work, school, or home, while others choose virtual sessions for easier scheduling. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns like Austin counseling, couples therapy in Austin, or relationship counseling.

Therapy in Austin can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and get a clearer sense of what you may pay before you book. Headway makes that process easier by helping you search Austin, Texas therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review detailed bios, see estimated costs after adding your insurance, and book directly when you are ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
