Licensed Professional Counselor in Austin, TX

About My Clients

Do you find yourself struggling to connect with others? Do you struggle in relationships of all kinds? Feel like you don't fit in or are constantly misunderstood? Could your low self-esteem be creating a barrier for you to connect to others and yourself? Are you ever afraid of the emotions you experience or find yourself avoiding those more difficult emotions? I want to be your advocate to love yourself and feel more connected in your relationships and to the world around you.

My Background and Approach

Therapy is a collaborative relationship that requires we trust and respect one another. You will (hopefully) find that I'm welcoming, warm, and tend to use heavy doses of humor to help with your healing. I received both my bachelors and masters degrees from Texas State University, the most beautiful campus in Central Texas. I use several treatment modalities in my work, including IFS, CBT, TFT, Existentialism, and Choice Theory. I integrate parts work into my practice as well and invite you to learn compassion and love for all of your feelings, tendencies, characteristics, and thoughts. My practice will always be a safe place for every person regardless of gender, ethnicity, race, creed, sexuality, religion, or other. I am LGBTQ+ allied and socially liberal.
