Therapy for Therapists
in Austin

To change your life, you’ve gotta get out of your comfort zone.
Let’s get uncomfortable.

Discomfort = Growth

If you're a therapist, finding the right fit for your own therapy can be tough. A lot of us are too good at seeing around corners and anticipating our own therapist's next move — which makes it hard to actually be the one in the chair instead of running the session. I think for a lot of us, it's because it's genuinely hard to put ourselves at the center; so many of us were parentified kids to begin with, good at looking out for others first.

There's also a more practical version of this problem: working with someone who doesn't overlap with anyone else in your professional world. No shared consultation groups, no mutual colleagues, no small-world awkwardness at a conference. Just the two of us.

To change your life, you have to get out of your comfort zone — that's how growth happens. If you're interested in working with me, take a closer look by visiting my main home page.

Many paths to healing

I practice something called Functional Psychotherapy — a model I'm still actively developing, bottom-up and experiential, built around transformation rather than managing symptoms. I don't think any single modality — CBT, psychodynamic, ACT, or otherwise — has a monopoly on healing; the goal is helping you heal, not proving a theoretical framework right. I'll be warm, and I'll be direct when it counts.

For a sense of the work itself, I've published a case study in combat trauma and a paper on the practical principles I draw on.
