Sex-Positive, Kink Allied Therapists in Austin, TX
I help people who are struggling to develop a strong sense of self worth. I often work with people exploring identity and self acceptance who are experiencing symptoms like high anxiety, depression, difficulty coping with stress, and intrusive negative thoughts. Some therapists focus only on the symptoms which can feel incomplete, but I listen deeply to hear what’s going on underneath to help you process the old stories and beliefs held within that are cutting you off from your true self. Some of my specialties are helping people overcome anxiety and depression, building self-esteem, self-discovery, and using the expressive arts

Thank you for considering me to be a part of your mental health journey. Reaching out for help as an individual or a parent can be anxiety provoking and it is my goal to be as transparent about therapy and mental health treatment as possible to ensure you feel comfortable with choosing me to be your therapist. I have experience working with adults and teens who experience suicidal ideation and self-harm, impulsive behavior, mood swings, anger outbursts, depressive episodes, and anxiety symptoms. I'm trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and various parenting interventions. I am also a certified Sandtray Therapy provider.

Hi there! Thank you for visiting my profile, and welcome! There may be many reasons one turns to therapy. Maybe you are experiencing a change or loss, maybe you have gone through an event that has affected your mental health, or maybe it’s just that something doesn't feel right or someone doesn't treat you well. I like to say “the breadcrumbs make the bread" - it is the little things that add up.

Welcome. If you’re looking at this page, you’ve already taken the difficult step of considering more support. In our overwhelming world, I believe we are doing the best we can to survive. Sometimes we may need some extra space to be curious with what’s going on under the surface, getting to know parts of ourselves needing some presence, and walking through tender moments with care.
We may be a good fit if you’re interested in exploring your relationship with food, navigating identity, processing past trauma, and/or building a life of abundance as much as possible during this pivotal time.

Do you find yourself constantly taking care of everyone else’s needs while ignoring your own? Do you worry more about how others feel than how you feel?
I specialize in relational trauma, including betrayal, family conflict, and estrangement. Many of the people I work with feel exhausted, unseen, or not enough in their relationships. Some are navigating the impact of betrayal or difficult family dynamics that have left them feeling hurt, mistrustful, or emotionally worn down. For others, ongoing conflict or family estrangement continues to create a sense of distance, grief, or instability in their relationships.
