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 helping people in PTSD/trauma therapy is to empower them to achieve better emotional self-regulation and fewer triggers by using EMDR and CBT therapy.
I teach the following tools in PTSD/trauma therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in PTSD/trauma therapy when they are able to self-regulate emotions and experience few or no triggers.
Clients can supplement their time in PTSD/trauma therapy with group therapy (led by a qualified clinician). Trauma can be very isolating, so the experience of group therapy can be powerfully validating and can be an important aspect of healing.
To prepare for their first PTSD/trauma therapy session, someone can ask questions of the therapist and look at online resources about PTSD/trauma therapy options.
Trauma therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on treating the psychological impact of traumatic events on individuals. Trauma therapy helps people process and heal from their trauma by guiding them through their trauma in a compassionate and supportive way, allowing clients to feel the full scope of what happened to them and eventually move on from the event(s). This process helps people who have experienced trauma find ways to feel safe in their lives.
Trauma therapy will often require individuals to walk through their experiences in a controlled and compassionate setting (unless the client has a dissociative disorder) so that they can fully process the event, an activity that will allow them to move on from what happened and feel safe again. Thriveworks Cedar Park therapists will also help clients learn healthy coping mechanisms to deal with their symptoms outside of therapy.
Thriveworks trauma counseling in Cedar Park, TX is conducted both in person and online through online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
If an individual is working through a single event that occurred during adulthood, they may only need a few months of treatment. However, in instances of childhood trauma or repeated traumatic events, therapy may continue over the course of years. Trauma therapy usually ends when the client believes they have met their therapeutic goals, however long that takes to occur. Thriveworks therapists in Cedar Park, TX will continue to provide care for as long as necessary to help clients meet their therapeutic needs.
When people live through trauma of any kind, it can be difficult to speak about the horror they have experienced. Sebastian and many others understand the challenge, but they also understand the many benefits of opening up about what happened. If you have experienced trauma, know that it is okay to talk about what has happened to you.
Skilled therapists understand the toll that trauma takes, but they also know that incredible healing and growth can come from incredible difficulty. Trauma therapy has helped many people find the healing from trauma that they need and deserve. If you think you could benefit, reach out to Thriveworks Cedar Park to schedule your first trauma therapy appointment. We have helped many clients come to understand what has happened to them and how to find their own healing path.
Everyone responds to trauma differently. For many, the traumatic event does not end when they are returned to safety. The feelings and memories of the event can continue. Not everyone will develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, but there are certain risk factors that make it more likely. One important thing to know is that PTSD has nothing to do with whether a person is strong or weak. The risk factors for experiencing trauma and developing PTSD are often not in a person’s control. Those risk factors include:
Trauma can come in any number of forms. A few common ways that people experience trauma are combat exposure, physical assault, sexual violence, receiving a terminal medical diagnosis, childhood abuse (sexual, emotional, and/or physical), living through an accident (car wreck, fire, et cetera), being bullied or threatened, and more.
At any moment, people with PTSD can relive the event—feeling the same panic, fear, and horror as if the trauma were happening again. Reliving the trauma may look like…
PTSD may also look like someone who completely reorganizes their life to avoid any reminders of the trauma. Unfortunately, in doing so, people may avoid hard feelings, but they also may isolate themselves. This may look like…
Trauma can negatively impact an individual’s feelings and thoughts about themselves, the world, and the event itself. For example, an individual may…
Trauma can leave people in a state of hyperarousal. That is, they may never be able to relax, but instead, they are always on the look out. They may have…
If you have lived through a traumatic event, Thriveworks Cedar Park wants you to know that you are not alone. It is okay to talk about what happened to you. That is why we offer therapy for trauma. When you call our office, you may be meeting with a therapist within the week. Plus, we offer evening and weekend sessions, and we accept most major insurances.
