About

We listen, act, and transform

I believe that everyone deserves to live an authentic, happy, connected, and fulfilled life. My goal as a therapist is to help you discover what that looks like for you and your relationships. In our work together, I help to create a supportive space for you to explore what you want out of life and to be the architect of your own intimate relationships. My philosophy of therapy is that it is a process of coming home to yourself. I am here to be a helper along the way. Therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix; it is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the client and therapist alike. But in the end, I believe that making small changes can bring life-altering results. I would love to work alongside you on your journey. My specialties include: Sex Therapy (including desire discrepancy/ out of control sexual behaviors/recovery from infidelity), EMDR for trauma and PTSD recovery, Gottman Marital Therapy, PREPARE/Enrich Premarital Counseling, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Conflict and Communication skill-building for high conflict couples, Working with US Veterans and First Responders. I created the STRONG Relationship Model which I use for couples therapy. It is an attachment based, trauma-informed model of therapy. You can hear me explain the model in the link below: https://www.austinstrongrbc.com/our-model
