Every person’s journey is one that is filled with unique experiences and understandings, so it’s important to me to strive to create a space that is inclusive and affirming to all identities and maintains perspective on the intersections of identity such as race, religion/spiritual practice, gender identity, sexual orientation, body size, ability, and more. I believe that every person has their own unique strengths and resources and holds the ability to tap into them.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Austin, TX who works with folks experiencing anxiety, perfectionism, and people-pleasing tendencies. My style can be adapted to work with just about anyone but the clients who find their way to me tend to be millennial aged women, often in high performance careers, and often married with children. My clients require space to express their feelings after years of putting others before themselves. Sometimes, the tendency to under-prioritize the self comes from a background of childhood neglect, high expectations, and/or verbal abuse. Clients come to me for self-actualization.

Whether you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, self-harm, grief, addiction, or just feeling plain lost, I personally understand how overwhelming and painful it can feel. I have experience working with teens ages 15+, adults, families and couples and have evening availability for those who need after work or after school times. Often times we seek immediate relief from painful emotions and situations, which is where I teach clients the coping skills needed. Otherwise, I will simply hold space for you to show up authentically and feel safe bearing your emotions to another human, which is where the real magic happens.

Are you feeling stuck or not listened to in your relationships? Are you finding yourself having the same arguments? Does it feel like you and your partner are speaking different languages? Or do you simply have a feeling that something isn’t working, that you’re disconnected from your partner or loved ones? Set yourself and your relationship up for success by engaging in relational therapy. Together we can understand why you’re both feeling stuck in your relationship and work to create new, healthier communication cycles. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Narrative Therapy which helps ground and facilitate this process.

Are your relationships feeling strained due to spiritual trauma or other differences? Do you feel depressed or anxious because you no longer feel like you have a place to belong? Many people, including LGBTQ+ people and their allies, have experienced some sort of religious trauma, spiritual deconstruction, or an overall disenchantment with church and religious institutions and find themselves disoriented and alone. Like you, my clients have struggled, sometimes feeling as if they can’t be their authentic selves, feeling pressured to be a people-pleaser and afraid of the consequences if they don’t. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

I give you a space to explore, feel, question, cry, scream, cuss, fall apart, and fall together. I like wrestling with whatever it is that is coming up in your heart or mind. I am open minded and care about the burdens you carry around everyday. It's hard work to grow yourself and we can work together to create and achieve your goals. I believe your story matters and holds a lot of power in shaping your life.
