I am a licensed psychologist in the Central Austin area. I have vast experience counseling adolescent and adult clients in individual, couples and family therapy. This experience has shown me that individuals can learn to cope with life's problems more efficiently and effectively. Therapy is a life-enriching process that often helps people become more attuned to themselves, others and the environment such that life feels more meaningful and coherent.
This specialized processing group is designed to provide clients with essential tools for observing and understanding their brain and nervous system with compassion.

This safe and supportive environment encourages you to share your experiences, emotions, and challenges with like-minded individuals. Members will engage in guided discussions, interactive activities, and receive valuable support from fellow members.

I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with their relationships or feeling stuck in their lives. I believe it takes courage to show up as our authentic selves, and in our work I encourage clients to stand in their truth and live in a way that feels fulfilling. I work with couples who are experiencing conflict, disconnection, or are recovering from betrayal. I help couples learn relational health by shedding light on dysfunctional patterns, improving communication of needs and feelings, and practicing co-regulation.

Being a college student is hard work, especially if you are the first in your family to attend college. You may not have access to college educated individuals to shed light on the general experience, give you the tricks of the trade, or help normalize the self-doubt or disappointment that arises when things do not go the way you intended. This group is for first generation college students who feel isolated, stressed, or anxious. Join and connect with peers going through similar life experiences and develop tools to help you create the college experience you envision.

Navigating the high's and low's of our lives is hard work. It can be exacerbated by the painful feeling of being unworthy of love or belonging, the need to compare ourselves to our peers, or the belief that we must embody this “perfect persona” to keep our world from falling apart. You do your best to keep up but you ultimately end up feeling confused, defeated and ashamed. How is it that the harder you work the more you feel like an imposter in your professional and relational worlds?

DBT is short for Dialectical Behavior Therapy. This is a specialized type of therapy that requires intensive post-graduate training by the therapists who offer it. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is recognized as an evidence-based practice by the American Psychiatric Association. DBT is an effective treatment for helping people to manage the intensity of their emotions and impulsive behavioral patterns that are disrupting the quality of their daily lives. What DBT does best is that it teaches skills that are not confined to a clinician's office. These skills generalize to every aspect of your world.

Adolescence is a stressful time for both teenagers and their parents. Along with the many confusing physical and hormonal changes that accompany puberty, teens are becoming very independent. They are worrying more and more about their social standing and where they fit in with peers. Balancing daily life stressors, peer pressure, school and becoming a young adult can put them at risk for depression and anxiety. These factors can cause anxiety about things outside of their control. This 8-week Anxiety group for adolescent males, provides a safe space to process these topics and learn skills to overcome anxiety.

I believe that therapy involves a collaboration between the client/s and the therapist. If a client is not part of the decisions, the ideas, the relationship, and the motivation, achieving the desired change is much more difficult. I understand that being in a relationship of any kind can be difficult and I believe that everyone needs help navigating the obstacles that we are bound to encounter in love, family, friends & life. I love being a part of that process. My role as a therapist is to collaborate with, empathize with, support, understand, and encourage my clients. I do this through face to face as well as tele/video therapy.

People and their stories have always inspired and humbled me. Helping others to walk through their shadows and experience the light is a true gift. Earlier in my life I went through some difficult experiences. The wilderness, music, art, and movement helped me to feel and learn to move through those hardships. My connection with the natural world has revealed my inner potential and helped me to heal from traumas. I am dedicated to incorporating my knowledge of therapy, relationship to the natural world, yoga and expressive arts for each person I work with. I believe in feeling all of the human emotions with balance and intention.

My passion for over 30 years has been to help people explore, identify and deal with problematic or out of control behaviors and the effects in their lives and in the lives of loved ones. I have always believed that these excessive behaviors have served as one way for people to regulate their moods, their neurochemistry, and to cope with anxiety and fears. In other words, to change the way they feel. I enjoy helping people learn to manage stress and anxiety in new ways. I also love helping people improve their relationship with themselves and others and to develop a deeper sense of meaning and purpose.
Dealing with grief is one is not only extremely difficult, but it can feel very isolating. It's a pain that might be hard to explain to others, so seeking support from others who are also mourning can be a comforting experience. If you've lost a loved one, this support group can provide you with a therapeutic space to process your grief and feel less alone. You'll also learn helpful ways to cope with bereavement. This is a teletherapy (via video conferencing) group for clients in NY or TX.

As difficult as life may seem at times, I aim to help my clients feel as if they don't have to go through it alone. I strive to provide a warm, supportive, and culturally-sensitive safe space for my clients. I empower clients on their healing and self-growth journey by truly allowing them to feel heard and accepted. My goal is to help individuals regain control over their mental well-being, and together in a supportive therapeutic space, we can accomplish exactly that. I provide therapy to adolescents & adults from a variety of cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities, and races.
I lead a group (via Zoom) for parents with teens/young adults who are neuro-divergent, atypical and/or have a mental illness. The group provides emotional support and advice given in a non-judgmental atmosphere. I am a therapist, but also a parent who has (and still is!) going through these same issues. The group is safe, helpful and confidential in an environment where you can vent, commiserate, and share with other parents who are going through similar issues.

I provide a safe, trusting environment for my clients to open up and share their experiences without feeling judged or shamed. I take a warm, client-centered approach to psychotherapy, based on the work of Carl Rogers. I believe that one of the most valuable aspect of therapy is for the therapist to have unconditional positive regard toward the client. As my client, I will think the best of you, and truly believe that you are capable of great things. I am positive, non-judgmental and compassionate, and when you enter my office it will be a safe environment for you to be vulnerable and be yourself.
