I approach therapy as if I'm walking side-by-side with my clients, allowing them to make positive changes using their individual strengths and abilities. I started an Austin-based private practice 14 years ago, and prior to that I worked with teens in a school setting. I have also worked and volunteered at domestic abuse recovery centers for women. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and am certified in mental health and nutrition. I utilize multiple approaches to customize treatment for each client. I currently specialize in online therapy and see clients over age 18.
I have training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mental health nutrition. I use these techniques to help clients experience positive changes as quickly as possible. These techniques are effective in addressing symptoms of trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and adjustment disorders.
Sometimes we all feel "stuck" in despair, hopelessness, stress, or anxiety, and we cannot find a way to move past these intense states on our own. That's where a strong therapeutic relationship combined with proven techniques can help us move toward a more positive future.
