How We Can Work Together

​

​Austin’s work is rooted in interpersonal psychology, relational therapy, and somatic approaches. She helps clients deepen their awareness of the mind–body connection, exploring how emotions, thoughts, and patterns live within the body and shape relationships. 

 

Together with her clients, she brings mindful attention to the nervous system-how it responds to stress, holds past experiences, and signals safety or threat in the present. By gently restoring regulation and flexibility within the nervous system, clients are able to release old patterns, cultivate resilience, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

​

Austin works collaboratively and relationally, inviting clients to explore both their inner world and their connections with those around them. Her practice supports individuals, couples, and families in fostering greater self-understanding, emotional balance, and authentic connection.

IN DEPTH:

My practice takes a hybrid approach, blending integrative psychotherapy with coaching principles. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all method to mental and emotional wellness. My work weaves together elements of traditional talk therapy with effective coaching techniques grounded in mindfulness and somatic modalities, bringing awareness to the body’s sensations as a pathway to understanding emotional states.

​

Too often, we’re conditioned to process feelings solely through the mind, leading to overthinking and a disconnection from the body. When we overlook the body’s stored experiences, stress, anxiety, and emotional stagnation can accumulate.

​

Emotions arise automatically through our sensory system, activating the limbic system and shaping our thoughts and perceptions-often before we’re even aware of it. This feedback loop, commonly referred to as the “fight-or-flight” response, can trap us in analyzing our emotions rather than truly feeling them, deepening our disconnection from ourselves and others, and disrupting nervous system regulation.

 

Simply put: when we are overthinking, often we are underfeeling.
