Hi! I’m Olivia, LMFT-A.

I’m glad you’re here. I am passionate about helping you LIVwell!

I view therapy as a partnership between client and therapist. My goal is to make you feel comfortable, safe and free to speak your mind without being judged. I will ask you questions that make you think, and will challenge you to go to those places you've maybe been avoiding.  I will take special interest in your family of origin, your relationships as a child, your emotional needs and wants, and will validate your experiences. You will learn skills and tools, as well as gain deeper insights to your own self and why you do the things you do. I will support you, advocate for you, and be your safe space.

I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Seattle University, a Master of Science degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Seattle Pacific University and have been in practice for 4 years. I am certified in SYMBIS which is the premarital assessment tool that I enjoy working with. I also completed a two day intensive training on Perinatal Mood Disorders which informs my prenatal work. I incorporate techniques primarily from Emotionally Focused Therapy and The Gottman Method, but enjoy tailoring my approach to the needs of my clients.

I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, and recently made the move to Austin with my husband and 3 year old daughter. We already feel at home here and look forward to many more years in Austin!
