With two decades of experience in behavioral health, I support a variety of populations, including individuals impacted by brain injury, medical complexities, trauma, grief/loss, low mood, anxiety and those desiring to move forward through large life transitions.

I specialize in counseling and cognitive rehabilitation for the mental health needs of brain injury survivors.
No two brain injuries or their recovery needs are the same. My treatment plans usually involve a combination of neurotrauma education, cognitive rehabilitation, counseling therapy, and adaptive/compensatory skill development. It's important to me that clients have the space to discuss their injury experience while we work towards rehabilitation goals.

This may mean facing life’s challenges such as aging, grief, anxiety, relationships, brain injury, major health diagnosis, addiction, and family conflict.
As your therapist, I will come along side you to gain a deeper understanding of your story, grief, and relationships, in order to help you cultivate meaningful connections and experiences in your life. We will explore the way your physical body and emotional health are connected, and look at your stories with a new lens. It's with this fresh perspective we can identify what behaviors and patterns work in your life, figure out what doesn't, and try something new.

I have been successful in the past with all manner of clients through many different settings – male, female, transgender, heterosexual, LGBTQ+, in inpatient, outpatient, technician, assessment, or even consulting settings. I also really enjoy working with teens and adolescents, since early brain-based interventions help everyone succeed even more in their lifetime. I find that my personality and style seem to fit best with clients who feel they are trapped in a negative routine, have no one with which to talk, or no way out of the situation from which they suffer.

I most often use relational therapy with elements of IFS, emotion focused, and narrative therapies blended in. Relational therapy is the root of our work - helping patients find mutually satisfying relationships as well as giving attention to the larger systems the patient is a part of. My patients can expect to feel welcomed into our therapy space. I'm open to questions, worries, concerns, anything a patient might be feeling in the moment. My patients have told me that they've enjoyed working with me, that I've provided a space for them to explore and discover their strengths.

Cześć! You don’t need to have everything figured out to start therapy. We’ll work at your pace. Some sessions might be about untangling deep-rooted beliefs or painful memories, while others may focus on building practical coping skills for daily life. I practice talk therapy in a way that feels collaborative and grounded. I’ll bring tools when they’re helpful, but more than anything, I offer a space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and patterns. You’ve carried enough on your own. You’ve survived hard things. Therapy shouldn’t be one of them.

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

If you’re used to being the steady one—the professional, caregiver, or provider others rely on—you may appear strong on the outside but feel tense, depleted, or disconnected inside. Over time, unchecked stress, loss, or change can leave us stuck in a state of high alert or quiet shutdown. This isn’t weakness; it’s adaptation.
I focus on restoring your flexibility, helping your nervous system settle, rebuild regulation, and rescript patterns of over-functioning or self-silencing. Together, we will build and strengthen healing neural pathways so you can respond to life with steadiness, clarity, and choice—not just endurance.

You’ve been managing the anxiety for a while now—maybe with deep breaths, late-night Googling, or powering through. On the outside, you’re high-functioning. But inside, your chest is tight, your thoughts won’t stop racing, and you’re tired of feeling like it could all fall apart at any moment. Maybe you’ve tried to “fix it” on your own but nothing sticks, and now you're just worn out. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, or the emotional weight of a health condition, therapy can help you slow down, feel safe in your body again, and move forward without always bracing for the worst. You don’t have to do this alone.

When should someone seek treatment for a traumatic brain injury?
People should seek a diagnosis and treatment after a head injury, especially if they were unconscious, and an early diagnosis can lead to a better recovery. Signs of a concussion include headaches, nausea or vomiting, exhaustion, dizziness, vision problems, sensitivity to light and sound, problems with attention and memory, brain fog, unusual irritability or sadness, and unusual sleep patterns.
What’s the most common treatment for a traumatic brain injury?
Treatment for a traumatic brain injury will be different depending on the severity of the problem. For mild injuries, treatment may involve rest and over-the-counter pain or headache medication. For moderate or severe injuries, treatment may involve stabilization, medication, and rehabilitative therapies such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, cognitive therapy, and counseling.
How long does it take to recover from traumatic brain injury?
The recovery time for a traumatic brain injury depends on the individual and the severity and nature of the injury; the length of time spent unconscious is often an indicator of severity. Recovery time for mild injuries may be a week or two while recovery time for more severe injuries may be six months to two years. Research suggests that the vast majority of recovery occurs in the first two years after an injury; recovery after that time frame is less certain.
What if a traumatic brain injury is left untreated?
If a traumatic brain injury is left untreated, it can lead to long-term physical and mental health problems. Physical problems may include dizziness, headaches, vision, healing, or speech loss, and an elevated risk of dementia. Psychological problems may include impairments of memory, judgment, and decision-making, depression, aggression, poor impulse control, and personality changes.
