how i turned being a “good listener” into a career

Hello and welcome :)

If you’ve made it this far, I so appreciate you taking the time to hang out.

I’m Carson, I’m an LPC and have been working in Austin for a handful of years as a trauma therapist. I’ve worked with many people across the lifespan (ages 13+), and I truly enjoy getting to learn over and over again just how resilient people can be. My hope is to be the place you can put the resilience down and connect with the weight of it all, even if for just a moment, with someone who can truly help.

While my focus is trauma, I also work with a plethora of other concerns. I’ve done lots of work with identity development and self-exploration. Much of my work inherently involves exploring shame and authenticity. One of my favorite things about therapy is just being a human sitting across from another human and getting to know them.

My approach is relational and falls under the psychodynamic and psychoanalytic umbrella, which is really just a fancy way of saying I enjoy talk therapy that goes far deeper than just a chat. I explore your past and your present in depth, and with your help we uncover patterns, values, and ideas that influence how you engage with yourself and the world around you.

Whether you want change, understanding, affirmations, a challenge, or just a place to chat, I work well with all types of people. From beginners to return customers to those who have struggled to engage and stay in therapy, I’ve got room for you.
