Therapists in Austin, TX

I believe that people change when we feel safe.  Through a genuine and trust-centered therapy relationship, my job is to create room for exploration and self-acceptance so that my clients’ lives can improve. Many of my clients have difficult family relationships, struggle with boundaries, and are working on finding love from within, rather than externally. I help them discover how to create a life with more love, patience, and peace.

I am passionate about working with neurodivergent folks (Autism, ADHD, OCD et al). I also frequently work with couples and polycules, as well as individuals who identify as LGBTQ+ and/or nerdy creatives. When working with couples and relationships, I'm passionate about facilitating improved communication to resolve a recurring area of friction, cultivating awareness of unhelpful patterns so we can break them, and deepening the friendship and intimacy in the relationship. I frequently work with relationships where one or more partner is neurodivergent. I also offer online therapy groups for ADHD and Autistic folks.

Additionally, she is EMDR trained and can provide researched-based techniques for clients experiencing trauma and symptoms of PTSD.

How did I get here? Relationship stress, battling an eating disorder or general mental leaves us feeling disconnected, hurt and alone. We find ourselves stuck in negative repetitive patterns of trying to solve the problem but to no resolve. We find ourselves feeling unheard or unseen which leads to wanting to argue and/or shut down/avoid. The more we try to break free from this repetitive coping pattern, the more hurt and alone we feel. We desperately long for comfort and healing. Whether this is impacting how you cope personally or getting in the way of connecting with your loved one - there is help.
