What should a new client know about working with you?
Thank you for considering Austin Mindfulness Center (AMC) and visiting my information page as you take this next step in your journey. Looking for a therapist is a brave step that shows strength and advocacy for yourself. It is important to take a second to sit with that. Many people seek out therapy for different reasons sometimes for loss, trauma, life transitions, anxiety and depression, feeling stuck in life, and sometimes for help adding coping skills for day to day life. By taking a mindfulness approach, we will find ways to navigate through past experiences and the curve balls life throws at us.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Being a Marriage and Family Therapist, I fundamentally believe the family is a system and if something is going on with one person in the family, it will likely affect other members of the family. As such we are products of our environment. In working together, I will acknowledge that you are the expert of you and provide you with a safe space to explore concerns and build on strengths learning new healthy coping skills.
My approach to therapy is mainly rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, working with you to examine how thought, feeling, and behaviors are connected and how by navigating through changes in our lives with a more present and focus lens we can minimize anxiety, allowing us to challenge unhelpful thoughts and thus add to our coping skills toolbox. I am also a believer that therapy is not a one size fits all approach and that culture can play an important role in the therapeutic experience, therefore I have an eclectic therapeutic style depending on the needs of the client, and work mainly from a strengths based perspective incorporating different approaches as needed.
