LCSW, 6 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
My approach to therapy is to help each client or couple adapt and grow from life's circumstances. I help my clients thrive within their community and experience a grounded and vital sense of connectedness to self and all others. I am a firm believer that there are not bad parts / people, only bad roles, patterns and wounds. There is always hope for growth, healing and reclaiming vitality and connection. I utilize a holistic approach that embraces one's intersections and addresses mental, emotional, and somatic (bodily) experiences.
In our first session we'll start with a brief introduction and dive right into the specific challenges you are facing currently. I also like to use this appointment to draw out strengths, resources, and supports that you have that can be leveraged to help increase your well-being.
I am warm, compassionate, and empathetic. Throughout my career, I have always worked with diverse populations. I work to do my work with both a beginner's mind, treating each client as the expert in their own experience, while also bringing my experience and expertise to offer new perspective and tools to help my client's process, grow, and thrive.
My background and area of most success has been helping clients and couples working through anxiety, depression, adjustment to life changes, relational issues and trauma responses.

Austin is a life raft in the middle of the ocean.

I chose Austin as a therapist because of his experience in IFS therapy. The IFS work has made a huge difference in bringing down my anxiety levels. Austin is very intuitive in knowing how much to guide and how much to listen. I am learning to communicate with and trust myself. It feels like he is a neutral third party facilitating a weekly meeting with all my parts and helping me learn how to be my own mediator.
I have found IFS to be extremely beneficial, more so than just talk therapy alone, in helping client's progress faster, more effectively, and with longer lasting change and improvement.
