You’ve worked hard to build a good life, but anxiety keeps you on edge. Each morning starts with a knot in your stomach + racing thoughts about everything left undone. Even simple tasks feel overwhelming. The pressure to keep up never stops. You may also have ADHD, or struggle with IBS, chronic pain, or the lingering effects of trauma. Some days, the tension lives in your body: headaches, fatigue, or a constant sense you’re failing at something. The world sees a capable person, but inside, it’s hard to keep it together. You’re tired of the guilt, burnout, and the “try harder” cycle. You just want calm, clarity, and a safe space.

Depending on your specific needs, I often like starting with any necessary tweaks to habits and routines, increasing self-care, and learning or reinforcing coping skills to manage strong emotional experiences.
I am passionate about supporting individuals navigating symptoms of trauma, anxiety, codependency, ADHD, grief, and more. I believe that one's perceptions and stories about themselves and their environment can be the key to their mental and emotional state. Increasing acceptance, curiosity and distress tolerance, and taking a different viewpoint can unlock the secret to contentment. However, this is likely only truly possible after processing traumas and past experiences that have shaped one's conceptual point of view.

I am currently in private practice, in central Austin. I help to empower clients by guiding them to acknowledge rather than suppress their emotional experiences. Psychotherapy, I believe, is analogous to emotional strength training and creates space for understanding the nuanced relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviors. In my experience, when emotional muscles are strengthened and emotional awareness is applied to everyday acts of living, clients grow and become more self-reflective. This increased self-awareness helps clients to more clearly identify what drives both progress and stagnation

Education and Learning Disabilities Therapists
How effective is treatment for learning disabilities?
When initiated early and tailored to a child’s specific needs, learning disability treatment can be quite effective at helping a child cope with their disability, though its exact efficacy may depend on the severity of symptoms and whether comorbid disorders exist. Less is known about treatment initiated in adulthood, but it is certainly possible that an adult with a learning disability will see some improvement—or at the very least, identify workarounds and accommodations that could make symptoms less burdensome in day-to-day life.
When should someone seek treatment for learning disabilities?
It’s best to seek treatment as early as possible. Because learning disabilities often go unnoticed until a child starts school, or even until they’re a few years along, regular check-ins with teachers and doctors can help parents determine whether children are meeting milestones and keeping up with peers or whether an evaluation for learning disabilities may be warranted. And although earlier is always better, it’s never too late to be evaluated for learning disabilities and to seek treatment.
What happens if learning disabilities are left untreated?
Undiagnosed and untreated learning disabilities can be a source of significant frustration and shame for a child, who may feel that their challenges stem from a lack of intelligence or willpower. Such feelings can trigger low self-esteem, depression, or anxiety, which may push a child toward risky behaviors, including substance use. In adulthood, untreated learning disabilities can interfere with career success, and lingering feelings of self-doubt and shame can negatively affect someone’s mental health.
Are there medications for learning disabilities?
Currently, there are no medications designed to treat specific learning disabilities such as dysgraphia or dyscalculia. However, someone with a learning disability may be prescribed medication for a comorbid condition, such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD, which may have positive downstream effects on their learning disability; for example, a child with both ADHD and dyslexia may find that they’re better able to focus on their reading exercises after being prescribed a stimulant medication.
