Somatic and Relational Therapy in Austin

Fire can warm or consume, water can quench or drown, wind can caress or cut. And so it is with human relationships: we can both create and destroy, nurture and terrorize, traumatize and heal each other.

Bruce D. Perry

Regardless of how bad things have been, you’re here and that’s evidence that hope resides in you. Are you ready to continue your healing journey?

Experienced Trauma Therapist in Austin, Texas and PsyPact States

Are you feeling emotionally shut down, stuck in painful relationship dynamics, or constantly holding everything together on your own? You may have insight into your past—but still feel trapped in patterns that won’t budge. Whether you’re navigating the lingering effects of childhood trauma, attachment wounds, religious conditioning, or birth-related trauma, therapy can help you reconnect with your full self.

My clients are often thoughtful, insightful adults who’ve already done a lot of work. They’ve read the books, tried talk therapy, and done their best to make sense of their pain—but something still feels disconnected. If you feel emotionally numb, overwhelmed, or like no one truly sees you, you’re not alone. The strategies that once helped you survive—hyper-independence, perfectionism, caretaking, emotional retreat—can also keep you stuck and isolated.

I offer trauma-informed, depth-oriented therapy that supports healing at the nervous system level. My approach integrates Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and group psychotherapy. These modalities go beyond insight—helping you feel, metabolize, and safely express what’s been held in for too long.

I’m a licensed psychologist (PhD), Certified Group Psychotherapist (CGP), and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) with advanced training in IFS and EMDR. I specialize in working with adults recovering from developmental trauma, emotional neglect, religious trauma, and the invisible wounds left by overwhelming experiences—including traumatic or disempowering births.
