Sandplay Therapists in Austin, TX

I am at my best when working with individuals and couples that want balance; balance between others and themselves but also within themselves. Folks that want to explore their values and enhance their sense of self and I work well together. People that want to work with me do so because I am an alternative friendly and knowledgeable therapist with a strong background in mental health ethics. Clients that identify as "straight but alternative", "LGBTQA" as well as those choosing non traditional relationship structures such as Polyamory, ENM, blended families, and "swingers" all will find me informed by my experiences so I can help.

As a psychotherapist and registered play therapist, my goal is to help you and your family uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges.

As one who has experienced complex trauma myself, I believe I can relate to my clients’ experiences and needs. My philosophy is no one should have to live under the shadow of trauma and how it affects the body. Trauma can be tough on survivors, but there is help and hope for healing. Most trauma victims exhibit some signs and symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This can lead to Anxiety, Depression, Disassociation, and a myriad of other mental illnesses. These are the areas I specialize in by offering healing and hope to my clients allowing them to be in control of their trauma and not their trauma being in control of them. Strong mental health is so important and can change the trajectory of your life by helping you go from debilitating disorders to manageable and healthy mental health. https://compassionworks.com/a-mothers-story-september-suicide-awareness-month/

Our goal is for clients is to move through therapy in the most efficient, yet comprehensive manner. Contact us to discuss your needs and how our experience and training can assist you in moving beyond these issues towards resolution and healing.

Life can be really hard. We can help. Serving the Houston area and the State of Texas since 1981 with clinical excellence, we provide a warm, therapeutic, and inviting atmosphere.

Austin's explosive tech-industry growth has brought an influx of young professionals navigating burnout, identity shifts, and the pressures of rapid lifestyle change in an increasingly expensive city. The city has a large LGBTQ+ community and strong demand for affirming therapists specializing in gender identity, relationship dynamics, and life transitions. The University of Texas and major hospital systems including Ascension Seton and St. David's HealthCare provide supplementary mental health resources alongside the city's growing network of private practices. Many Austin therapists offer telehealth, making it easier to find care across the wider metro and surrounding Hill Country communities.
