If you have experienced anxiety, depression, addiction, or previous trauma there is help. Therapy will allow you to move towards a more fulfilling way of life and help you learn that you are complete and strong; that you have the ability to overcome the challenges keeping you from reaching your full potential.

Often one is asked what is wrong with you when they should be asking what happened to you. Often, we are told to snap out of our thing...But wait! just because you cannot get with our thing doesn't mean our thing is wrong! Oh, pull ourselves up by the bootstraps…however, we may have lost our boots, the strings, or our treads are worn...So much for everyone else's perception of our stuff. You cannot change what cannot see! This is a non-judgment safe zone. Come in for an annual addiction check-up, services, or assessment. You got you and I git you! Let me support you through the change process. P.S. be ready.

Sometimes as women we feel miserable and our problems seem overwhelming, as if we will never solve them. We are exhausted trying to get our brains to stop running over all the things we aren't doing right. Why are we so frustrated, angry and sad all the time.? Why is day to day life so hard, and why can't we let go of the pain from the past? We ignore the bad feelings and keep trudging through our daily to do's. We just want the negative thoughts to stop so that you can get back on track.

I have 15 years of experience counseling youth and adults in various settings. My concentration has been young adults and the LGBTQ+ population. I take the approach of starting where you are. Through connecting and talking about your intentions, we can begin to find a pathway to addressing and exploring the issues that are impeding your happiness. Within each human is an inner wisdom, and my role is to help you connect with that part of yourself, increasing self-confidence and life satisfaction. It helps to have an outside perspective, and I support your path to choosing a life with more understanding.

To learn and grow, children require a tapestry of love, safety, and challenge. When the challenges youth face exceed the amount of resources available, therapy can be helpful. Private, goal oriented, engaging and fun activities can motivate youth to participate in a process they might otherwise avoid. In my practice, I help children address anger, depression, trauma, school related difficulties, divorce, and adjustment issues. With over 20 years of clinical expertise, I understand that children's therapy is most effective when the process is safe and interesting. In my practice I help youth and families embrace needed change by using their strengths to solve problems.

I enjoy working with college students, professionals in healthcare, caregivers, singles that are dating/looking to date, single parents, newly divorced or separated, and specifically young adult couples looking to improve their relationships amidst juggling school, work, new baby, or life transitions. I also have a strong interest in helping individuals who struggle with the bi-cultural experience and inter-generational conflicts.

Relationships are the foundation of a healthy and happy life. Perfectionism, shame, miscommunication and codependency prevent whole, healthy relationships. We join alongside our clients to explore their understanding of relationships. We are relational, meaning that our therapeutic relationship will guide therapy. We are transparent, direct and use humor, at times, for levity. We use creativity in my approach and offer a space for openness.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is extremely effective where sleep hygiene, meditation and other obvious solutions don't work, I also help you work through any comorbidities that you may experience with your insomnia like anxiety, hyperarousal and racing thoughts. Most of my patients only need 4-5 sessions to see meaningful change in their sleep.

Every emotion, thought, or feeling we experience is valid and has the potential to impact our lives.

When counseling is used effectively, it can be a powerful tool for all areas of your life.

My approach to therapy is simple, I will focus on symptom reduction and provide you with skills to practice between sessions to help you become self-reliant. Don't let this moment escape, start creating evolution in your life.

Sometimes life robs us of our light. It can happen gradually or suddenly. We might not even know why the light is gone, only that it’s not there anymore. My goal is to enable you to search for and take hold of that light. I work primarily with depression and anxiety as well as spirituality, processing trauma, and family dynamics. I specialize in adolescents and young adults transitioning into new life stages, and adults of all ages who feel stuck in life.

Are you caught between worlds? My online practice caters to cross-culturals. As a first generation Austinite and global citizen, I see you.
