Many of my clients come in to address anxiety, ADHD, trauma, life transitions, and feeling "stuck". I am particularly passionate about serving AHDD, LGBTQ+, highly sensitive people, creatives, recent graduates and people navigating career challenges. I also have advanced training in the area of anxiety, insomnia, ADHD, depression.
My Background and Approach
Austin has training in Mindfulness, EMDR, CBT, Gestalt, Hakomi, Dreamwork, Somatics, Ecopsychology, and Systems thinking. Using present moment experience and the therapeutic relationship - she blends pragmatic and solution oriented work with depth psychotherapy often time tuning into the body's intuitive wisdom. She will collaborate to find the routes that lead to greater joy, aliveness and meaning her clients lives. In session, Austin offers mindfulness, CBT, grounding, and somatic exercises to help deal with unhelpful thought patterns and to get the body more relaxed. This approach supports clients to feel more themselves, relaxed and present. Austin's style is thoughtful, warm, and non-judgemental. When clients first start therapy, she will establish a strong relationship and comfortable environment where clients feel comfortable to explore all parts of their experience. Austin received her MA from California Institute of Integral Studies.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe there is no "one-size-fits-all" approach to healing. My role is as a facilitator and companion in helping you find the healing practices and modalities that best fits your needs and goals. Together, we can explore the full range of your authentic experience from the deeply painful and scary to the ecstatic and joy-filled. I blend a pragmatic solution-oriented approach with a heartfelt, curious and compassionate presence. I consider it sacred work, and an honor to be with you on this journey. I honor the fact that many of the systems in this country including the healthcare system, education system, and prison system are broken and that poor mental health is a symptom of a larger issue. I offer sliding scale based on circumstance and availability in my practice. I hope to work with you to make our world a better place for all.
