About

I love working with people. I have had an affinity toward those who are afflicted for as long as I can remember. Those were the stories that meant something to me, because they were real and relatable. I know what it’s like to sit on the other side of the counseling relationship. It takes courage. I am passionate about helping people learn self-compassion and embrace their humanity.

I am based in Austin, Texas and am licensed to counsel individuals who reside in Texas, Tennessee, and Colorado. I enjoy working with adults of all ages, particularly those who are eager to attend counseling and find value in self-reflection. My clients tend to struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, negative body image, attachment wounds, relationship stressors, physical pain, and/or trauma. I am trained in Brainspotting, an evidence-based trauma therapy that is a body-based approach. You can learn more about Brainspotting on my blog and on the Brainspotting website at http://www.brainspotting.com.

Everyone knows what it is like to feel distressed – it is part of the human experience. However, there is a difference between emotional pain and suffering. Emotional pain comes and goes like waves, whereas suffering is a constant companion. If you are feeling trapped in painful emotions and body sensations, know that your mind and body are capable of getting unstuck with the support of an emotionally attuned individual. If you come to my practice, know that I will I will not push my own agenda. I will be validating and supportive of your experience, tuning into your feelings and empowering you to connect to your needs and values.
