Teletherapy appointments only, M-Th evenings. Please email me with any questions! My approach to counseling involves working together in a supportive and non-judgemental environment to help you process your thoughts, meet your goals, and develop the skills you need to take control and be content with your life. I have worked with children, teens, and adults and use different approaches to figure out what is best for you.

With a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Counseling, I believe in the work of this field. Whether this includes group therapy, addiction psychoeducation, or pre-marital counseling, it is my honor to walk with you as you seek to recover or grow. Life can be heavy and emotions difficult to regulate. Throughout your journey, I recognize that it can be life-changing to add a non-judgmental support with tools to your team as you work to reach your goals by using your own strengths. Just as hurt and betrayal often take place in relationship, so do healing and change. In a session with me, you matter and you are safe.

I work with children, adolescents and young adults experiencing anxiety disorders and OCD. By partnering with clients and/or their families, I help clients understand, respond to, and face their anxiety or OCD. My goal is to enable individuals to take their life back from anxiety and feel confident and capable managing it. I also work with parents whose children are unable to engage in individual therapy for anxiety or OCD. I am certified in and offer Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) for children 7 and younger with behavioral challenges.

Welcome! I am particularly passionate about helping individuals navigate identity in a culture that doesn’t always create space for difference, pain, and vulnerability. I love helping people, especially young adults, women, and fellow healers peel away society’s messages about who they are or should be and find out who they have truly been all along. I am skilled at seeing the unrealized gifts in others and don’t often use “therapist speak” and am intentional about offering my real, human self.

Life changes quickly, and we all hit speed bumps that stop or slow us down. Social and academic crises, trauma, grief, and life transitions are some of the challenges my clients face. I see children 11 years and up, adolescents, families and adults, and offer a safe, supportive environment for clients to find options. I work to help clients build and deepen healthy connections within families, fine tune or learn new skills, and increase confidence. My approach is direct, respectful, collaborative. I listen closely to help build an individual plan.

Since joining Austin DBT Associates, I’ve found a passion for facilitating DBT and Radically Open DBT (RODBT) skills classes after experiencing the transformative power of the connection, community, and accountability that unlearning and learning in group skills classes can offer. Class members have shared the benefits of practicing the skills in their lives, and I’ve seen them personally in my own life as I practice the skills daily. I’m consistently moved by the growth that can happen when together we lean into the discomfort of showing up in new ways rather than thinking we need to do it on our own.

Finding the right therapist can be a daunting task - when you are suffering, it can be especially difficult to make this decision. To find relief, you need to be able to connect with your provider, build trust, and explore who you are and your issues in a safe and understanding space. We might be a good fit if you are curious about yourself and want to learn more about how your mind and emotions work, particularly if your thoughts and feelings are interfering with your quality of life, or you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues or have a history of trauma.

Throughout my work, it has become clear that the mind is amazing at convincing us of our worst fears and we can often turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms that may heighten already negative feelings. These experiences can be intense and opening up can bring its own set of challenges. It has been a real privilege to support people in navigating their emotional experiences relating to anxiety, depression, interpersonal relationships, and trauma. I take a mindful approach to my practice and place significant emphasis on the relationship we build.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
