Therapists for college students near Austin, TX

College life can feel overwhelming—balancing academics, work, and relationships while trying to figure out your future is no small task. Sometimes, it feels like no one truly understands what you’re going through, and the weight of decisions, like choosing a career path, can leave you feeling lost or unsupported. I specialize in working with students and young adults navigating these challenges. Together, we’ll explore your struggles in a safe, nonjudgmental space. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, feeling misunderstood, or juggling the pressure of responsibilities, I’m here to help you find clarity, confidence, and balance. My approach is client-centered and focused on your unique needs. I incorporate techniques like EMDR, mindfulness, and creative tools to help you process emotions, build resilience, and take steps toward the life you envision. You don’t have to go through this alone—let’s work together to help you thrive.

I work with adolescents and adults suffering from mood and anxiety disorders, complex trauma, women’s issues, narcissistic abuse, attachment issues, and personality disorders. I also work with couples to improve communication, develop healthy conflict-resolution skills, and create a long-term family vision and mission that restores harmony in everyday life. I believe psychoeducation and a personalized mental health care plan empower clients to make lasting changes quickly. I create a unique treatment plan for each client with specific, measurable goals. I use therapeutic breathwork, CBT, and DBT to help clients quickly reduce symptoms while evaluating emotional and behavioral patterns that may require longer-term therapy. I approach personality disorders, attachment dysfunction, and identity confusion from a developmental and psychodynamic perspective and have experience treating borderline, narcissistic, and schizoid personality disorders. I earned my B.A. in psychology from the University of Texas at Austin, and after a career as a business executive, returned to school in 2020, earning a Master of Science degree in clinical mental health counseling from Tarleton State University. I am an alumna of the national women’s leadership academy, Leadership America, and was selected in 2015 to be a patient advocate for the National Center for Healthcare Research in Washington, D.C. I am a writer, public speaker, and patient-first healthcare activist, and have published many written works about the dangers of using pharmaceuticals and medical devices cleared (not fully approved) through the FDA's lax 510k marketing process. I enjoy gardening, all forms of creativity and self-expression, love to learn, and believe that where there is humor, there is healing. My husband and I live in Central Texas and enjoy camping with our two dogs and parakeet. We have two adult sons and three granddaughters and believe in the restoration of family relationships as a path to well-being.
