Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you've spent a lot of time carrying things on your own. Reaching out can be the hardest step and is a sign of courage and hope. It is not about having everything figured out, it's about creating a safe space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences without judgement. I use a client centered, strengths-based approach to help develop insight, improve coping skills, manage emotions and anxiety, and to make meaningful life changes.

I specialize in working with self-criticism, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and often related psychological disorders (OCD, PTSD, anxiety, depression). You might say you grew up too fast, feel responsible for others' reactions and emotions, or lost too much of yourself just trying to keep the peace. Feeling nervous, worried, depressed, or guilty can be a daily struggle that makes it difficult to get things done, let alone enjoy life. My work focuses on reducing anxiety and depressed mood; fostering self-acceptance, self-compassion, and self-worth; healing from emotional abuse and neglect; and ongoing difficulties in relationships.

On paper, your life looks fine—maybe even impressive. But inside, you're pushing through. Triggered, flooded, exhausted by an inner critic that never quiets.
You've tried to fix it. But something keeps pulling you back.
I believe there's always a reason for this kind of disconnect—and it starts with being adaptive. When life was hard, your nervous system adjusted to survive. Dysregulation and stress became the norm. Your story explains the struggle.
I work with adults and couples ready to understand that story—and find more life-giving ways to show up.

If you’re used to being the one who holds it together—but lately it’s getting harder—you’re not alone. Anxiety, burnout, and constant overthinking can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or on edge. I work with adults and adolescents facing depression, anxiety, stress, substance use concerns, and major life transitions. Many clients are high-functioning but struggling beneath the surface. For adults, it often presents as racing thoughts, irritability, sleep difficulties, or a sense that something is “off,” even when life appears stable. For adolescents, this may include big emotions, school stress, and strained relationships.

Sometimes our lives take an unexpected turn-a loved one dies, we lose our job, our marriage ends, our parents' health declines-and suddenly we aren't sure where we're going, or what to do next. You don't have to face these things alone. In my counseling career, I have helped many people get through the hard things that come with difficult life events: sadness, anger, guilt, family conflict, uncontrollable worry, or just feeling stuck.

Are you concerned that your substance use is causing some problems for you? Substance use is on a continuum, with abstinence on one end and severe abuse, or addiction, on the other. Historically, approaches to substance use treatment have been binary—you either use or you do not. While this approach is effective for some people, for most it feels restrictive and at times punitive. The goal of therapy is for you to determine—you may want to examine your use, minimize it, work toward ceasing use all together or even maintain positive changes you have already made.

I have spent the last several decades here in Austin working in direct service, mostly in residential settings and primarily with youth ageing out of the foster care system. I work best with people who are navigating challenges and working to improve overall functioning. I tend to take a holistic approach- I want to learn who you are, all aspects of where you are, and most importantly, where you want to go.

Overall, I work to establish strong and safe connections with my clients in order to assist them in deep healing work. While my approach is eclectic, I tend to pull ideas from somatic psychology while working from a humanistic, attachment-focused perspective. I work best with individuals and couples who want to explore how their patterns began and are commited to feeling better. I have training in Somatic Experiencing and Emotionally Focused Therapy as well as Equine Therapy training for treating attachment trauma.
