I work great with...

Adults navigating big life transitions. Maybe you're in the thick of new parenthood, watching your kids leave the nest, or in a stage of life that suddenly feels unfamiliar. The map you've been using doesn't quite fit anymore. Together we'll slow down, take stock of where you actually are, and start figuring out what you want this next chapter to look like.
Anyone tired of fighting their body. You've spent years trying to fix, shrink, or reshape something that was never really the problem. What if you could come home to your body instead? We'll work toward a relationship with yourself that doesn't require constant negotiation. One where rest is allowed and your worth isn't up for debate.
LGBTQIA2S+ folks figuring it out. Whether you're early in exploring your identity or just tired of explaining yourself everywhere you go, this is a space where you don't have to translate. You can show up as you are, ask the questions you're sitting with, and have someone in your corner while you sort through what feels true.
Anyone carrying anxiety, depression, or old wounds. It's exhausting to keep functioning while something heavy is running in the background. You don't have to keep white-knuckling through it. Together we'll make sense of where it comes from, and gently loosen its grip on your everyday life.
Women at any stage of the journey. Maybe you've spent so much time taking care of everyone else that you've lost track of who you are. Maybe the expectations on your time and energy have just gotten too loud. We'll make room for you here, the parts you love and the parts you've set aside, so you can start tuning back into what you actually need.
Partners who want to feel close again. Connection can fade quietly, even in good relationships. You miss each other, but the path back isn't obvious. We'll slow things down, learn how to actually hear each other, and find your way back to what drew you together in the first place.

Style & Approach

Therapy should feel safe enough that you can finally say the thing out loud. The hard thing, the embarrassing thing, the thing you've been carrying around for years. You'll be met with compassion and curiosity, never judgment, and you'll have space to sit with whatever shows up.

Together, we'll draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness practices. The work is collaborative and grounded in your actual life. It's trauma-informed throughout, and moves at a pace that feels doable, with plenty of room to slow down when something needs more time.

You'll have someone walking alongside you, fully in your corner. Curious about your story, present without distraction, and willing to gently challenge you when growth asks for it. The shift tends to come when you start to see yourself as just human. Not broken, not behind. From that place, things can actually move.

Some of the approaches I Use...

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Person-Centered Therapy
Gottman Method (Level 1 Training in progress)

Fun Facts

The fastest way to my heart is a dog. Any dog. After that, sea turtles and owls have my full attention.

A perfect evening looks like candles lit, good music on, and a kitchen full of colorful Mediterranean ingredients I'm about to turn into something delicious.

I'll find any excuse to wander Central Market. The produce, the flowers, the smells, it's basically my happy place.

I believe in learning through doing. Travel, cooking, hiking, swimming, anything that stretches me in interesting ways.

My favorite things about Austin? Friendly people, nature within reach, and really good breakfast tacos.
