Therapy for Parents in Austin, TX
Therapist for parents in Austin — in-person and Texas telehealth support for parenting stress, burnout, and family conflict. Space to be a whole person, not just a parent.
Build the family life you dream about.
Do you feel stagnant in your current role? Do you begrudgingly bring yourself into work only to be met with frustrations? Do you find yourself having an increasingly low tolerance for workplace antics and patient difficulties? Do you see life through a lens of sarcasm, dark humor, and callousness, because if you don’t, the everyday experiences of your job might penetrate that barrier and get to you?
If any of these questions resonate for you, you have landed in the right spot. After nearly a decade working in the healthcare system, I grew increasingly fatigued of going into work everyday to see the failings of the healthcare, joining with my equally embittered coworkers (who I did and still do adore!), only to be laid out by the weight of the job itself in combination with a system that has no intention of providing an environment that provides the support for its employees. By the time my tenure as a nurse in the hospital ended, I was burnt out, bitter, navigating the other side of the system as a patient with multiple health issues, and overall sick and tired.

Who this is for
This work is for parents at every stage and in every kind of family, including:
Parents feeling burned out or stretched too thin, especially those also managing demanding careers or caregiving for aging parents
Parents in conflict with a partner over parenting styles, discipline, or the mental load of the household
Parents navigating a hard season — a child's behavioral struggles, a diagnosis, a divorce, or a blended family finding its footing
Parents who feel like they've lost themselves somewhere in the day-to-day of raising kids
Whatever brought you here, this is a space to be honest about the parts of parenting that don't make it onto anyone's holiday card.
What bring parents into my office
Some of what I most often work through with parents includes:
Parenting stress and burnout. The exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix — the sense that you're always "on," always anticipating the next need, with nothing left over for yourself.
Losing your patience more than you'd like. Snapping, yelling, or feeling flooded with a child in a way that leaves you ashamed afterward — and wanting a different pattern, without more guilt piled on top.
Co-parenting and partnership strain. When parenting has quietly replaced romance, or when you and your partner disagree on discipline, boundaries, or who's carrying more of the load.
Your own history showing up in your parenting. Noticing yourself repeating patterns from your own childhood — the ones you swore you'd do differently — and wanting to understand and shift that.
Identity beyond parenthood. Missing who you were before kids, or feeling guilty for wanting time, space, or a sense of self that isn't entirely defined by your children.
Parenting through a hard season. A child's anxiety, a diagnosis, a divorce, a blended family adjusting to new roles — all of it easier to carry with support.
High-achieving parents carry a particular weight
If you're a parent who's also running a business, leading a team, or working in a demanding career, the pressure compounds. You're expected to perform at a high level in every arena at once, and the exhaustion of trying to be excellent everywhere rarely gets acknowledged out loud. I work with a number of high-achieving parents and professionals, and this dynamic — the guilt of choosing between work and home, the fear of dropping a ball in either place — comes up constantly. You don't have to choose between ambition and being present. We can work on both.
Why work with me
Why work with me
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Austin who works with families, couples, and individuals navigating exactly this kind of season. My approach treats you as a whole person, not a collection of parenting mistakes to correct, and I meet you where you actually are — tired, imperfect, and doing your best — rather than where you think you're supposed to be.
