We are all explorers of our individual realities.

Austin helps individuals, couples, and families gain insight into the nature of their unique being, offering a collaborative counseling approach in which he serves as a co-pilot on clients' life journeys. With curiosity at the forefront, he tailors services to meet clients where they are at in the present moment together. He often encourages clients to explore themselves and their experiences at their own pace and on their own terms, with a clinical approach that draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and Buddhist Psychology. Since he integrates interventions from other therapeutic modalities as well, sessions with Austin could look like traditional, conversational dialogue or more experimental and experiential techniques such as role-playing, dreamwork analysis, or other activities that strengthen present-moment awareness, security, and expression. He often enjoys working with neurotypical populations and LGBTQ+ communities, as he shares identities with both. With a particular interest in working with clients currently exploring (or wanting to explore) themselves, their personal values, and experiences, he works best with those who want to grow in areas of their interpersonal relationships, identity, sexuality, and spirituality, and with those who are grappling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, ASD, and religious trauma. Even apart from these interests, he hopes to learn from his clients as much as they may learn from him!

Austin has a bachelor’s degree in Anthropology from UCLA and is currently working towards his master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of the Cumberlands. His professional experiences have brought him to work in academic settings, alternative mental health and behavioral-focused school programs, and inpatient psychiatric units for children and adolescents. Outside of his practice, you can find him exploring places, finding peace in nature, cozying up with sci-fi books and horror movies, or taking a nap (especially in a hammock somewhere warm and scenic).
