Experience a shift to a more positive mindset.

Unpack your life story and issues you are wanting to work through. In the openness of sharing your struggles, learning coping skills, and recovering from trauma, you’ll experience a shift to a more positive mindset. This mindset is crucial in helping find freedom in your thoughts.

Find honesty with your emotions

My expertise working with women comes from helping women find honesty with their emotions and aspects of their life that are affecting their mental health. This honesty is crucial for being able to heal trauma and develop mind and body awareness for successful healing.

1:1 Psychotherapy Services for women struggling in daily life

 

Psychotherapy is for individuals who are being affected with identifiable mental health conditions, such as anxiety and depression. It is also helpful for issues relating to identity, self-esteem, difficulties in relationships, and support in life transitions.

I take a trauma-informed and integrative approach to psychotherapy.

Providing a safe container and facilitating healthy rapport with my clients is a priority. My goal is to always help my clients find the answers they are seeking and to be a guide along the way. Through trauma-informed therapies like EMDR therapy and using an integrative approach to psychotherapy, we can provide a safe container to explore your questions.

That being said, I am not afraid to challenge my clients when appropriate, helping them grow in resiliency and make the necessary decisions in their lives to move their life in the right direction. Discover Her Truth’s approach to women’s mental health & psychotherapy in Austin

 
 

Psychotherapy is a commitment, not a quick fix

It takes time to see results. I require new clients to commit to one 50 minute session per week for at least 10 weeks before we discuss decreasing the frequency. After 10 sessions, depending on progress and treatment goals, we can continue every week, or discuss biweekly sessions.

Virtual Sessions

I am currently only seeing clients through a HIPPA compliant virtual platform. You will need a reliable internet connection, and a private and comfortable personal space to complete online therapy sessions.

Starting with one session per week for 10 weeks

$140 per 50-minute session

*Sliding scale fees available, based on income need.
