IN-PERSON THERAPY IN AUSTIN, TEXAS AND VIRTUAL THERAPY IN CALIFORNIA AND TEXAS
My mission is to empower individuals to understand themselves more deeply, allowing them to pursue their dreams with greater freedom and passion. I also strive to support them in cultivating mature, loving relationships and creating strong, thriving communities.
I work from a psychodynamic and psychoanalytic lens with a touch of systems theory and a sprinkle of EFT. I'm here to help you explore your thoughts, feelings, and sensations, allowing you to know yourself more intimately and navigate life more successfully.
I’m glad you’re here
My approach is warm, challenging, accepting, and personal. Together, we’ll create a space where you can feel a full range of emotions, learn, grow, and attain your goals.
Therapy with me invites you to explore and understand your interior landscape so that you can invite others in more deeply and have the confidence to know the interior life of another.
People's minds are like topography: some places are safe to explore alone and some places require a guide.
My practice was founded on the idea that when you expand your emotional range to feel sadness, joy, anger and fear you will have more flexibility and dexterity in life.
Together, we’ll collaboratively work toward building a deep inner knowing of your internal landscape so that you can build a life full of passion, purpose, and freedom.
OUTSIDE OF THE OFFICE
In my spare time I enjoy hiking, running and doing most physical things.
I love water - swimming, surfing, diving, snorkeling. If there is a creek, lake, river or ocean nearby I’m probably jumping in.
I have a wife and two kids who I adore and we have a dog named Turbo.
