About
As someone who knows how challenging it can be to ask for help, I approach therapy with compassion, humor, and realness to make growth feel possible and safe.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 27 years of experience helping clients navigate emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. I work with individuals across all ages, supporting those experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and self-esteem issues. My goal is to provide a safe, collaborative environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes that improve their quality of life.
I earned a Master’s in Psychology from Regis University. My therapeutic approach is integrative and client-centered, combining evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. I focus on helping clients build resilience, self-awareness, and healthy coping strategies for lasting growth.
I understand that seeking help takes courage, and I aim to make that step feel safe and supported. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change, I’m here to walk alongside you. Together, we can explore what’s holding you back and create a path toward healing, balance, and renewed confidence.

As a neuro-divergent person with multiple diagnoses myself, I can offer insight and empathy towards many of the struggles children and parents may bring into the therapy environment.
Nin is a compassionate and motivated therapist with a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and their families. Since beginning her practice in 2022, she has drawn upon her seven years of experience as a teacher and school counselor to offer specialized support to children, adolescents, and adults with ADHD. This includes navigating school 504s and IEPs, accommodating house chores and school work, strengthening struggling friendships and other relationships, and the rarely-discussed emotional struggles of ADHD. As ADHD frequently coexists with other challenges, Nin has experience in supporting individuals with comorbidities such as depression, anxiety, autism, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and more. She is also trained in EMDR for trauma-care should that appeal to her clients. Parent coaching is one of her specialties and most enthusiastic endeavors, especially for parents of neurodiverse children. Nin helps parents discover strategies that promote healthy relationships and thriving families.
Nin’s approach is relational (1.5/2), multi-culturally informed, and flexible, always adapting to meet the unique needs of each person she works with. Her work is grounded in a belief that every individual is worthy of understanding, respect, and care, no matter their culture, religion, or personal expression. She strongly believes that everyone deserves a space where they can feel seen and supported, without judgment. She also incorporates meditation and mindfulness techniques, and the occasional nature walk or spiritual discussion if desired.
“I will not rescue you, for you are not powerless. I will not fix you, for you are not broken. I will not heal you, for I see you in your wholeness. I will walk with you through the darkness as you remember your light.”
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

My go-to approach for treating anxiety is getting my clients to be more comfortable feeling their feelings. Once clients are more comfortable with themselves, they become better at recognizing their triggers and what their bodies need.
I teach the following tools in anxiety therapy: understanding the root of anxiety, recognizing anxiety triggers, identifying what the body needs, and implementing healthy calming strategies.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in anxiety therapy when they are better able to manage the anxiety and daily functioning has improved.
Clients can supplement their time in anxiety therapy by discovering healthy calming strategies that work for them. It is important for clients to get to know themselves and discover which tools best work for them and their lifestyles.
To prepare for your first anxiety therapy session, you can reassure yourself that you are taking a step in the right direction toward healthy change. It is understandable that you may feel more anxious at that initial session, but remind yourself that you are not alone and I will be there to support you.
Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Cedar Park, TX can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Cedar Park therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
Anyone who has anxiety knows what it means to…
All people feel afraid or worried or even anxious at times. When these feelings are acting as they should, they rise and then they fall quickly and naturally. Anxiety disorders are a very different experience. When people have anxiety disorders, the feelings of worry, anxiety, and fear rise and stay. Anxiety changes the way an individual’s brain functions so that these feelings are unmanageable. Just like cancer or diabetes, anxiety is a serious medical condition. Also like other serious illnesses, there are effective treatments for anxiety. With a mental health professional’s intervention, many people can heal from anxiety.
When worry is a constant part of your life, consider reaching out for help. Thriveworks Cedar Park offers treatment for anxiety. Our therapists understand what anxiety is, how it functions, and the treatment options that are available for it.
Most people speak about anxiety in a singular way. While there are many common denominators to each form, there are many different forms of anxiety disorder.
