About
Hey, my dear! My name is Dr. C & I am a Licensed Counseling & Forensic Psychologist based in Austin, TX. I personally know how asking for support can be one of the most difficult things ever, so I applaud you for taking the step to even consider allowing another soul on your life’s journey! 👏🏾 I have over 15 years of experience in providing individual/group/family/couples counseling, crisis intervention, outreach programming, teaching, and conducting a variety of assessments. I work with those across the lifespan–addressing a wide variety of presenting concerns (ie., anxiety, depression , grief, trauma, life transitions, etc). I am not your “typical” mental health practitioner as I work from the lens of being a full human living a real complex life right alongside you.
I choose to work with individuals on the neurodivergent spectrum because we so often experience judgment and misunderstanding. I see you. I hear you. I am you. I believe deeply in our capacity to heal, grow, and thrive—despite the obstacles life so often places in our path. I strive to honor and support each client's individual journey, without judgement.
My work is grounded in a holistic and eclectic approach, thoughtfully tailored to each client and informed by Psychodynamic, Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapies. I surround this clinical foundation with humor, warmth, grace, and gentleness. While my approach is compassionate, it is also honest and appropriately challenging—always rooted in love.One of the most important truths I’ve come to understand is this: we cannot heal in a space of judgment, and self-judgment is often the greatest barrier of all.
