Who I Help

Emmaus Counseling guides people of all ages in overcoming obstacles that hinder connection and belonging through attentive and empathetic therapy tailored to your personality, based on your strengths and needs. If you’ve been on an exhaustive search for a therapist near the south Austin, Buda, and Kyle areas, then let me share a little more about my mental health services. I help individuals transform thoughts of isolation and loneliness into opportunities for self-awareness and discovery of your innate strength and capacity. I help my clients overcome the voice of doubt and amplify the truth: You are loved, unique, irreplaceable, and worthy—you belong, and your life has meaning.

I work with children three years and older experiencing emotional dysregulation, i.e. tantrums, adolescents struggling to connect with their parents and peers on their journey toward independence and self-discovery. I help parents struggling with difficult behavior from their kids, and individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, feeling stuck, grieving, experiencing divorce to find a way forward.

Young Children

Are you getting notes from school that your child is unruly? Is your child consistently moving his or her clip down on the behavior chart in the classroom? Or is your child an angel at school but the total opposite at home? Does he or she not listen to you, throws tantrums, and is uncooperative? This can be so frustrating. I can help.
