I have over 15 years of experience in the mental health field in Austin, working with an immensely diverse range of clients in an equally diverse range of environments—from public elementary schools to trails and pastures. I began my career as a campus-based therapist and case manager working in schools providing trauma therapy to children deemed at-risk. From there, I switched from the school setting to working on a horse ranch providing trauma-focused equine therapy to children and families. Prior to opening my own private practice, I was the clinical director of a group practice in Austin focused on inclusive mental healthcare.
I specialize in treating trauma, attachment wounds, shame, insecurity and other issues through a variety of traditional and experiential modalities. I pull from a toolbox including Internal Family Systems, mindfulness practices, EMDR, The NeuroAffective Relational Model and others in order to meet the needs of you, my client.
Outside of my therapy work, I am an avid dog lover, professional woodworker, outdoorsman, amateur cook and occasional D&D dungeon master. I have a 4 year old daughter (chaotic-good alignment) who has taught me how to blow tummy raspberries and the meaning of unconditional love.
