If you’ve worked hard to keep moving forward, yet still struggle with relationships, boundaries, balance, or feeling worthy outside of your achievements, I see you. If it’s hard to sit still without anxiety, if old wounds resurface despite your progress, or if peace feels just out of reach, I’m here to help you find calm within the storm.
I’m the owner of Neuro Nuance Therapy and EMDR, PLLC, where I specialize in EMDR therapy in Austin, TX. EMDR helps people safely access and reprocess the root memories that fuel anxiety, shame, and self-doubt. I'm trained in complex trauma, so there's no rush or pressure, I follow your lead and listen to your nervous system to guide the pace.
As someone who has dealt with trauma, life, and finding help myself, I know how hard it can be to take a risk and reach out for help. But taking that leap of faith can prove to be one of the most rewarding decisions of your life. I'd be honored to assist you on your journey. Schedule a consultation on my website.

I have 10 years of experience working with those struggling with addiction and co-occurring disorders. My specialty in EMDR therapy developed as I found trauma to often be at the root of these issues and continued my professional development to become a trauma focused therapist.

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 identifying the most distressing current problems first and working backwards to their origins, EMDR therapy can help to create present time stability while healing the underlying issues of the past.

My training is in the use of multiple therapies and coping strategies to prepare you for an effective experience with EMDR. If your trauma history is complex rather than a single event, it's very important to ensure that you're prepared to reprocess your trauma. Assessing your needs and working with you to build coping skills and resilience is where we will begin.
