About

Hello and Welcome!
The decision to seek therapy is often an incredibly difficult one. But what a courageous thing to do to identify issues and barriers in your life that stand in the way of healing and wholeness and to invite another in to help you navigate that road. As a therapist, I feel a privileged opportunity to walk with you in that journey of healing and self-discovery.
My name is Summer and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Austin, TX. I have 3 years of experience with adults working through issues of depression and anxiety, post-traumatic stress, life transitions and changes, family of origin issues, relationships, and sexuality. Within the last 4 years, I have worked more closely with a child and adolescent population and their families with issues of emotional development, depression and anxiety, family of origin issues, school stress, abuse and trauma, and sexuality.
Every person I work with is unique and deserves an approach that best suits their needs and goals in therapy. I take an eclectic approach to therapy and aim to maintain flexibility in my modalities as I get to know and begin this journey with you. I pull from an assortment of modalities in order to meet each client where they are and have most commonly utilized the following: Mindfulness-based Therapy, Existential Therapy, Experiential Therapy, Ecotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. More recently, I have explored ways to infuse movement, exercise, and nature into the therapeutic process as a means to help others build more profound connections to self, others, and their environment.
A therapeutic relationship is a collaborative effort and investment in a space between two people that enables healing, awareness, and skill building as a means to carve out a more whole future. I wholeheartedly commend your first steps in this journey and would love an opportunity to be a part of that with you.
