Do you find yourself repeating patterns in your life and/or relationships? Do you feel stuck or powerless to change? Are you in the midst of a huge life transition or is your relationship in crisis? I can help. I believe deeply that change is possible for anyone, and it begins with a safe and accepting environment to explore the barriers to happiness. My approach to therapy is warm, direct, non-threatening and empowering, with a focus on identifying patterns, negative beliefs and/or obstacles that prevent you from reaching your goals. You can heal wounds, release resentment, find your voice, and live life more fully.

The pace, constant changes and stress of life can often feel like too much to manage alone. Through building a supportive and trusting relationship, we can work together to build on the skills and qualities you already have. My practice focuses primarily on working with adults of all gender identities dealing with a variety of issues, including difficult transitions, depression and anxiety, self-esteem, developmental trauma, and emotion regulation.

I am a licensed psychologist in the Central Austin area. I have vast experience counseling adolescent and adult clients in individual, couples and family therapy. This experience has shown me that individuals can learn to cope with life's problems more efficiently and effectively. Therapy is a life-enriching process that often helps people become more attuned to themselves, others and the environment such that life feels more meaningful and coherent.

Harsh inner-critic? Your superpower is your empathy for others but you have a hard time extending that same support yourself. Maybe your anxiety is loud and you find yourself living in your head (a lot) and feel cut off from experiences and important relationships in your life. On the outside it appears that you have it all together, but internally, you feel like you're falling short, failing, and constantly overwhelmed. Maybe body image issues have been a part of your experience since you were a teen. Without effective skills, these challenges can take a toll on well-being and can make life smaller and smaller.

Life might have thrown you a new curveball that has gotten you off balance. OR nothing big has happened, but feelings of being stuck have emerged from somewhere. Psychotherapy offers you a safe place to make changes to old patterns that hold you back. I can help you navigate the uncharted path & assist in developing the insights & skills you need to thrive in life. Therapy works best when we collaborate toward created goals in a respectful & affirming setting. Our work involves identifying & working through unhealthy relationship patterns, helping to change the way you think to improve the way you feel, in order to live your life.

My clients come in experiencing self-doubt, anxiety and believing they are not quite “good enough”. Maybe you’re feeling the constant weight of perfectionism in your life and relationships. You could be tired of over performing for others and under delivering to yourself. Many of my clients overly accommodate others at the expense of their own needs, resulting in uneasiness in the body, nervous system exhaustion and burnout! I see therapy as a way to start connecting with and speaking your truth and to finally quit abandoning yourself! Most of my clients are younger women (UT students welcome!) however, I see all genders ages 18+.

Anxiety leaves us feeling on edge, over-controlled, and disconnected from our true selves. You’re someone who tries every stress relief technique in the book but still finds yourself worried, exhausted and feeling empty at the end of each day. Constantly filling up other people’s cups– at work, in relationships, with family and friends, but who is filling up your cup? You’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to lessen the emotional burden. You’re ready to set boundaries and keep them. Most of all, you’re ready to break the patterns that leave you feeling stuck. I want to help you get there.

We live in an extraordinary stressful time. Do you find yourself feeling anxious, depressed, or lonely? Maybe you face issues of love and relationship, career and money, health and happiness, or bereavement and loss. Perhaps you are simply sick of repeating the same self-defeating patterns. Whatever the case, we can figure it out together. I will guide you in the journey of self-inquiry that will lead to creating something beautiful and extraordinary in your life no matter the circumstance. Life will take on new meaning and purpose as you begin to explore and discover and love who you are.

If you are reading my profile, then you are probably looking for someone to help you with the problems that you and your family are facing. Perhaps your child is struggling with social anxiety, is depressed, acting out aggressively, having difficulties accepting a divorce, experiencing stress from school and extracurricular activities, or they just want someone to talk things through with. My practice focuses on helping youth learn how to cope with the stressors life brings them and to reach their potential.

We all long to feel connected, known, and loved. And when we don’t, it can create tremendous suffering. In response to our pain, we adapt and learn ways to cope- ultimately seeking to make intolerable feelings tolerable. But our coping strategies disconnect us from who we truly are and come at a high cost. I offer a therapeutic lifeline that empowers you to claim your inherent worth and inner knowing. I deeply respect and want to nurture the wisdom you hold inside yourself. You may worry that you are too flawed, but together we can rediscover your worthiness and the inherent beauty within you.

I am passionate about working with adolescents, young adults, & adults. I provide therapy for individuals who are experiencing challenges with anxiety, depression, life transitions, school, & relationships. I have had the unique opportunity to work with people of all ages in private practice, inpatient hospitals, and a juvenile detention center over the past 13 years. I have experience with assessments, IEP, 504's, & school advocacy. I use an integrative approach & strive to understand the person as a whole. I provide an environment that is collaborative, inclusive, supportive, & empowering.

I am a psychoanalytically trained psychotherapist as well as certified eating disorder specialist and supervisor, who incorporates relational and intuitive methods in order to create a safe space and working alliance. I specialize in working with adults and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, relational wounds, as well as disordered eating and body image issues. Therapy is a collaborative exploration that requires both curiosity and trust. In working together, we will examine barriers to growth, difficulty with transitions, and overcoming fears, in order to facilitate lasting change.

I specialize in helping clients overcome recent traumatic events and ongoing challenges like anxiety (including performance anxiety), depression, or loss. Trauma or attachment wounds can lead to overreactions in situations, feeling trapped in negative belief systems, and significantly impact workplace performance and the ability to form healthy relationships. As a trauma-informed therapist, I take pride in supporting high-achieving individuals who feel limited in reaching their full potential and clients who have experienced secondary trauma, such as medical professionals, teachers, judges, and police officers.

I help people who want more from their relationships, deeper companionship with friends, or more intimacy with a partner. Sometimes that means getting un-stuck from patterns of behavior that no longer serve but seem to persist. Other times it may involve setting and maintaining boundaries–whether with work, with a substance or activity, or with other people–more effectively. If you feel plagued by self-doubt and anxiety, you're not alone and there is hope! Staying connected while growing into yourself more fully is do-able work!

NOTE: Currently full, but spots do open up over time. Feel free to inquire. Although my approach to counseling draws from a variety of models and approaches (including EMDR, interpersonal neurobiology, polyvagal and attachment theories), all are rooted in the fundamental principles of non-judgmental acceptance, authenticity, and experience. Beyond the exploration of old patterns of beliefs and behaviors, my focus is on helping clients find solutions. My ultimate goal as a therapist is to help my clients develop knowledge and tools that will facilitate sustained growth long after therapy has ended.

I provide therapy in a supportive, authentic and normalizing environment. I work to help others feel empowered as they work toward their goals and recognize how much they are able to shape their own lives when provided with effective tools and insight. I believe that the appropriate use of humor is extremely helpful and I strongly believe that it is not my place to judge you or to impose my values on you during the therapeutic process. I view counseling as a team effort where the counselor and client work together.

If you struggle with loneliness, depression and anxiety. If you struggle in your relationships to feel fulfilled and nourished because of experiences in your childhood, we are a good fit! This can include parental neglect, alcoholism, abandonment, and abuse. You function well but often times feel that it is not enough and feel that you just aren't doing things the right way. I work in a direct but compassionate way to navigate through these painful experiences in order to get more of your needs met and to experience more fulfilling relationships. We work together to find what suits you and your needs.

Therapy is a special relationship that fosters behavioral and thought changes while increasing personal growth through the creation of a secure environment. Through effective communication, therapeutic techniques, and positive support together we can work on the difficulties and struggles in your and your family's lives. I enjoy working with individuals and families struggling with a variety of issues. I specialize in anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, self-esteem and trauma. I have been working with children, adolescents and adults for the past 10 years in a variety of therapeutic settings.
