Meet Austin

Q: What is your approach to therapy?

A: I use an integrative approach, drawing from several evidence-based methods rather than a single script, to help you understand why you think, feel, and act the way you do. Therapy works best when the relationship feels safe and honest, so we'll build a space that feels grounded and genuinely yours. You set the pace. From there, we look at the patterns underneath what brought you in and work toward lasting insight and change.

Q: Who do you work with, and what issues do you address?

A: I work with adult women and men in New York City and across New York State who are navigating:

• Anxiety, stress, and burnout

• Depression and low self-esteem

• Relationship difficulties, including boundaries, people-pleasing, and attachment patterns

• Identity exploration and life transitions, such as career changes or moves

• Perfectionism, overthinking, and feeling stuck

• Anger, irritability, and emotional disconnection

My focus is helping you build a clearer understanding of yourself so you can move through daily life with more steadiness, self-trust, and direction.

​

Q: What can I expect in sessions with you?

A: Clients describe me as warm, grounding, and consistent. Sessions are a place to talk openly about what's really going on, without judgment and without pressure to share more than you're ready to. I'll offer honest reflections and practical tools you can use between sessions, and we'll adjust as your needs change.

​

Q: I've never worked with a male therapist. What if I'm not sure it's a fit?

A: That's a completely reasonable question, and many of my clients have asked it. Feeling comfortable with your therapist matters more than almost anything else in therapy. I work to create a space where you feel respected, heard, and in control of what we talk about. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so you can get a sense of how it feels to talk with me before committing to anything. If it isn't the right fit, I'm glad to help you find someone who is.

​

Q: What makes your approach unique?

A: I believe healing happens through the relationship, not just technique. Tools matter, and you'll leave with plenty, but lasting change comes from a consistent, trusting space where you can get curious about yourself rather than just managing symptoms.

​

Q: Who supervises your work?

A: I practice under the clinical supervision of Erica Tringali, LMHC.
