Spotlighting Areas of Support

People often come to therapy after trying many things that haven't provided lasting change. My approach is structured, evidence-informed, and grounded in an understanding of how the nervous system, relationships, emotions, and life experiences interact.

I specialize in helping adults with chronic pain, trauma, anxiety, and relationship distress by identifying the patterns that keep people stuck and working collaboratively to create meaningful, sustainable change.

When appropriate and with your written permission, I also coordinate care with physicians and other healthcare providers to support a more integrated approach to treatment.

Yes. I offer a complimentary 15-minute  consultation so we can briefly discuss what brings you to therapy, answer questions about my approach, and determine whether we're likely to be a good fit.

You're under no obligation to schedule after the consultation.

DeepWaters LPC is a private-pay practice and does not bill insurance directly.

Choosing to remain outside insurance networks allows us to focus on providing thoughtful, individualized care without many of the restrictions that insurance plans may place on treatment. This often means greater flexibility in the frequency and length of therapy, fewer administrative barriers, and an added measure of privacy for your personal health information.

Many clients also appreciate that treatment decisions are made collaboratively between therapist and client, rather than being influenced by insurance requirements.

If your insurance plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, we can provide a superbill that you may submit for possible reimbursement. We recommend contacting your insurance company to learn about your specific out-of-network coverage.

If you're unsure whether private-pay therapy is right for you, we'd be happy to answer your questions during a free consultation.

DeepWaters LPC is based in Austin, Texas and provides telehealth services only.

We are licensed to provide therapy to clients who are physically located in Texas and Colorado at the time of their appointment.

People come to therapy for many different reasons, but most are looking for the same thing: relief from patterns that no longer seem to change on their own.

We work with adults and couples experiencing concerns such as:

• Anxiety and chronic stress
• Trauma and PTSD
• Chronic pain and nervous system sensitization
• Relationship and marriage difficulties
• Communication problems and recurring conflict
• Attachment wounds and relationship patterns
• Depression and emotional overwhelm
• Grief and loss
• Life transitions and major life changes
• Burnout and caregiver fatigue
• Self-esteem and identity concerns
• Emotional regulation and reactivity

DeepWaters LPC has particular expertise in three areas:

Chronic Pain Recovery
Using Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) and other evidence-informed approaches, we help clients whose pain persists after appropriate medical evaluation and may involve nervous system sensitization.

Trauma Recovery
We provide trauma-informed therapy using approaches such as EMDR, Brainspotting, and attachment-focused interventions to help clients process difficult experiences and reduce the lasting effects of trauma.

Couples & Relationship Therapy
We help couples move beyond recurring cycles of conflict, disconnection, and misunderstanding by strengthening communication, emotional safety, and secure connection.

Even if your concern isn't listed above, you're welcome to schedule a free consultation. We can discuss what you're experiencing, answer your questions, and determine whether our approach is likely to be a good fit. If it isn't, we're happy to help you identify other resources that may better meet your needs.

A complimentary 15-minute consultation allows us to briefly discuss what brings you to therapy, answer questions about our approach, and determine whether we're likely to be a good fit.

Your first full session is about getting to know you and understanding more about what has brought you to therapy. We'll talk about your concerns, your goals, and any relevant history. We'll also tell you more about how we work and we will begin developing a plan that fits your needs.
