Attachment-based Therapists in Austin, TX

I navigate from the belief that we all want to see and be seen well, and to engage in complete freedom to be all that we are. As a therapist, my hope is that you will find that here. I practice psychotherapy through various modalities including psychodynamic, attachment-based, somatic attention, and trauma-informed theories. However, my foundational approach is Relational. I believe that if our wounds begin in relationship, they can only find healing within a restorative one.

Do you feel exhausted, overworked, and under appreciated? Perhaps you believe that if you are just the perfect partner, parent, child, sibling, or employee that you will no longer feel this way. However, the burnout is becoming extreme, and you desperately want to feel differently. Maybe you are an empath who worries that you are “too sensitive”, or have an anxious attachment style and fear being considered “too needy”, or a perfectionist who worries that you will never be worthy of the joy, peace, and love that you see others experiencing. Or perhaps you are a people-pleaser wondering if anyone will every truly know the real you.

We all live in a world that can cause us to feel isolated, disillusioned, and even hopeless at times due to harmful societal constructs, personal relationship issues, life transitions, and countless other challenges. As a therapist it is my goal to meet my clients wherever they are at to facilitate the creation of new narratives in their life which bring them hope, resilience, and empowerment. I believe we all have the ability to deconstruct and reconstruct the stories that shape our lives in a way that brings us clarity and peace.

Reclaiming your peace, clarity, and purpose is possible. Through a cutting-edge approach, you can experience rapid physical and emotional shifts. Maybe you have tried various types of therapy before, or maybe this is your first time considering something different. You want change. You want relief. You want results. Reaching out for help is a courageous, commendable step toward reclaiming the fulfilling life you desire. Please contact Reclaim U Counseling, PLLC for more information.
