Anxiety & trauma therapy for
young adults in Austin, TX
Hi, I’m Ellen. If you’re seeking therapy in South Austin, I know, it’s a lot. If you’ve tried therapy before and it felt sterile and scripted, or if you’ve never tried it because the whole idea is overwhelming, that makes sense. This isn’t that. I’ll walk with you through the messy parts and help you find your way forward.
I’m a relational, creative, and flexible therapist who pulls from many tools to meet you where you are. I draw from approaches like CBT, DBT, IFS, and somatic work, but therapy with me doesn’t have to feel clinical or scripted. Some sessions are just talking. Others might involve creative tools, practical skills, or going deeper into what’s underneath the surface.
What you can count on: I’m ruthlessly in your corner. I take this work seriously, and I don’t take myself too seriously. Most of all, I aim to undo alone-ness, because so much of what makes hard things harder is carrying them by yourself. You don’t have to do that here.
You can just talk. We’ll go at your pace, and there’s no script you have to follow. Some sessions are heavier, some are lighter, and some might involve getting creative when words aren’t quite cutting it. Think art, sand trays, even a tarot pull if you’re into it. None of it is required, and all of it is on the table.
I’ve been in the hard places too. I won’t rush you or pull you out before you’re ready, but I will sit with you in it and help you find your way forward.

We'll make sense of what's underneath, build tools that actually work in your real life, and process the stuff that's been heavy to carry.
As things start to shift, we'll focus on what's working so you can keep moving forward, with support whenever you need it.
I didn’t become a therapist because I had it all figured out. I became one because I didn’t.
A few years ago, I found myself at a crossroads. I was grieving the loss of my brother to suicide and facing deep family trauma. Mental health wasn’t just something I was studying. It was something I was living. And honestly? I didn’t fully believe in therapy before I went to therapy school. But something shifted.
I’ve always been drawn to art, creativity, and trying to understand people. What I found in therapy was real transformation. Not quick fixes, but a way to sit with the hard things, make sense of them, and slowly find a way forward.
That’s what led me here. I know how heavy and isolating it can be to carry hard things, and I care deeply about helping people feel less alone in what they’re holding. You don’t have to navigate it on your own.
