About Adrian
Hi! I am a licensed counselor based in Austin, Texas. My style is friendly, focused, and down-to-earth. I aim to be helpful with each individual I work with, and take pride in designing a therapy that will really work for you.
I’ve trained in a variety of approaches and find that virtually all approaches offer something valuable. However, I believe the classic fundamentals of therapy – empathy and a good collaborative therapeutic relationship – are the primary basis for effective therapy and therefore I put a lot of effort into these.
One of my views about life is that it is often asking for various forms of balance: Balancing kindness and strength, tenderness and toughness, openness and clarity, relaxation and alertness. And so in therapy, I always strive to create the right balance for you of supportiveness and challenge.
And, I invite and encourage your candid feedback about the process (and by candid I mean candid – really!) so I can make appropriate adjustments.
Therapy, like life, can be a wonderful adventure and I’m glad for the opportunity to support you in the journey.
