Austin’s therapeutic approach is relational and integrative, grounded in curiosity and compassion. Drawing from attachment theory, somatic awareness, and experiential methods like Brainspotting, she helps clients explore what’s happening beneath the surface and move toward greater wholeness. She believes healing happens in the context of safety and connection, where honest reflection meets gentle curiosity.

Austin is drawn to this work because she’s experienced firsthand how transformative it can be to be truly seen and understood. Before joining Sage Hill Counseling, she worked with individuals and couples navigating transition, identity, and the challenges of authenticity. Outside the therapy room, Austin enjoys exploring Nashville’s coffee shops, taking long walks with her dog Ollie, attending concerts, and finding stillness in nature.
