Sex-Positive, Kink Allied Therapists in Austin, TX
Many of my clients have done the incredibly hard work of getting sober, only to realize that's just the beginning. You may ask yourself:
How do I rebuild trust after everything we've been through?
Why do my relationships still feel so hard even though I'm sober?
How do I communicate without shutting down, getting defensive, or wanting to escape?
Why does emotional or physical intimacy still feel difficult?
Who am I now that I'm not relying on alcohol to cope?
You deserve to live a life that aligns with your new values, and there is still time to get there.

I work best with thoughtful, self-aware people who know they want life to feel different, even if they can’t fully explain why yet. Many of my clients feel emotionally exhausted, stuck, or disconnected from themselves beneath the surface. They’re often navigating big life changes like college, new jobs, moves, breakups, or simply trying to figure out who they are outside of survival mode. When you feel stuck, your potential can start feeling stuck too. I love helping people gently untangle the messy parts of life, even if they have no idea where to begin. Honestly? That’s what therapy is for.

My goal is to help you make the best of your unique life circumstances and work towards being the person you want to be. I work with mood and anxiety disorders of all kinds, and also enjoy working with people navigating major life transitions, people in substance use recovery, dieting recovery, and those setting boundaries with complex families of origin. Prior to becoming a therapist I worked in public policy for over a decade, and have a deep understanding of the societal structures in place that feel immovable, and yet greatly impact our mental health.

Thanks for taking time to view my information. I try to be what I would look for in a psychologist: someone who is tactful, cares about the person, and responds with both knowledge and compassion. You will find me to be interactive. I will not sit silently or simply reflect what you just said. I will let you know my perceptions and discuss research, making suggestions on ways to feel better. I tend to focus both on your emotions and your thoughts. You will do most of the talking, but you will get a genuine reaction from me.
