If you’ve worked hard to keep moving forward, yet still struggle with relationships, boundaries, balance, or feeling worthy outside of your achievements, you’re not alone. If anxiety makes it hard to slow down, old wounds resurface despite your progress, or peace feels just out of reach, support is available.
I’m the owner of Neuro Nuance Therapy and EMDR, PLLC, where I provide EMDR-focused therapy for adults in Austin, TX, with telehealth available across Texas. EMDR therapy helps people safely access and reprocess experiences that continue to fuel anxiety, shame, and self-doubt, even after years of coping or personal growth.
Having navigated my own experiences with trauma and seeking help, I understand how difficult it can be to reach out. Taking that step can feel vulnerable, but it can also open the door to meaningful healing. If you’d like to explore whether working together feels like a good fit, you’re welcome to reach out to schedule a consultation.

I work with clients who may experience a range of issues that resulted from or were made worse by multiple traumas stacking up over the years. By stabilizing the most distressing current problems first, I help clients gradually move into EMDR therapy at a pace and sequence that keeps processing safe and effective. This reduces distress in the short-term while working toward long-term relief.

My training is in the use of EMDR therapy supported by complimentary types of therapy to ensure safe and effective trauma processing. If your trauma history is complex rather than a single event, we will ensure that you're prepared to reprocess your trauma before beginning EMDR. Assessing your needs and working with you to build coping skills and resilience is where we will begin.
