Introduction

I provide in-person individual therapy and groups in Austin, and video therapy across Texas. I specialize in addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and women's issues and have worked with clients across religious and cultural landscapes, and with clients in rural locations, the service industry, Austin's thriving community of musicians, and those in corporate jobs. I take a holistic approach to help you find meaning and purpose. My goal is to help you gain insight into your personal challenges and build healthy tools that work for you. I also offer EMDR, a type of therapy designed to ease distress associated with traumatic memories, and it's also powerful for anxiety, addiction, depression, phobias, and other struggles. In session, you will be safe with someone who sees you, is not judgmental, approaches you with kindness and respect, listens and speaks genuinely, is direct yet empathetic, brings in humor, and collaborates with you on concrete, lasting tools for your mental health. The core of my training—and being—is to meet you where you are. I can help you get your life back, whether challenges stem from childhood or occurred later due to a single traumatic event, relationship hardships, or life changes. I offer a 15-minute consultation at no charge to confirm we are a good fit.
