Compassionate Mental Health Therapy

Journey and Approach 

My path to becoming a therapist began through my own transformative experience with counseling. Having personally overcome traumatic events to build a healthy, adaptive life, I feel called to help others navigate their own life challenges.

Drawing from my experiences—both personal and professional—I bring deep empathy and understanding to each therapeutic relationship. My style is supportive yet gently challenging, creating a collaborative space where clients feel heard and empowered. While I utilize various therapeutic approaches, I believe the connection between therapist and client forms the foundation for meaningful change.

Areas of Focus 

I work with individual adults facing various challenges, including:

• Anxiety and depression
• Trauma recovery
• Stress management
• Grief and loss
• Career and life transitions
• Parenting challenges
• Existential concerns

Personal Background 

Born and raised in Dallas, I've proudly called Austin home for the past 24 years.  My perspective has been shaped by my Texas roots, time spent in Oregon, Rhode Island, and travels around the world. With over a decade of clinical practice, I've had the privilege of supporting countless individuals on their journey to healing. Outside of my practice, I cherish time with my family—my husband, daughter, son, and our dog, Brodie, as well as extended family. I maintain strong connections with a close circle of friends and value authentic relationships in all aspects of life.

Core Belief 

I believe therapy can benefit everyone—we all need support at times as we work toward positive change. My commitment is to provide a safe, comfortable environment where you can develop insight, build practical skills, and achieve personal growth. I bring my authentic self to our work together, maintaining professionalism while offering genuine presence and support on your journey toward healing. therapist websites website find a therapist
