More about me
I’m a psychotherapist in Austin, Texas, and I’m here to help you figure out how to have better, more honest relationships—with yourself and everyone in your life.
I believe therapy is more than talking about your problems or collecting insights to file away. It’s an active process of noticing what keeps you stuck, feeling the things you’d rather avoid, and practicing new ways of showing up.
​
Over the years, I’ve seen that when people have a place to be fully themselves—unpolished, unsure, overwhelmed—real change starts to happen. You start to feel more at ease in your own skin. You get clearer about what you want (and don’t want). You learn to speak up, set boundaries, and let people in without losing yourself.
My approach
My approach is warm, direct, and grounded in a lot of respect for the fact that being human is complicated. I bring my professional experience and training into each session, but will also show up as an authentic and real person who will be fully present with you in our work together.
My own path has included career and relationship detours, grief and loss, and parenting in a multicultural neurodivergent family. I do my own work and have seen first hand the transformative power of therapy in my own life. All of it shapes how I show up with you with curiosity, humility, and the belief that nobody is too far gone to create something better.
Credentials
I hold a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin and an MFA from Case Western Reserve University. My background includes work in university counseling, inpatient and outpatient settings, and community mental health. My work is informed by evidence-based practice and current research and I train regularly with leaders in modern analytic therapy, Relational Life Therapy, EMDR, somatic approaches, and interpersonal neurobiology.
If you’re ready to get honest, get curious, and start untangling the patterns that keep you stuck, I’d love to connect.
