You're looking to make a change. Whether you're wanting to improve your relationships, navigate a life transition, better understand your emotions, or learn new ways to cope with depression or anxiety, therapy is a great place to start. And even so, it can be difficult to make the adjustments you want without the right support. I believe that we flourish when we find relationships that encourage us to accept ourselves fully, challenge us when we're stuck, and honor our unique perspectives.

Life can be hard and full of challenges. I believe every person deserves the revelatory experience of therapy to make the journey a little easier. My passion is helping clients strengthen and nurture their most important relationship - the one with themselves. I want you to know and like yourself so that you may foster deeper and more meaningful relationships with those who are important to you and, ultimately, lead a more fulfilling life. During our time together you will feel understood, cared for and respectfully challenged. My native Austin roots come through in my style: chill, real, and occasionally funny.

Everyday life can be overwhelming full of obstacles and challenges. Sometimes we can feel trapped, helpless, or alone. These feelings and thoughts are natural, however if not properly managed they can lead to emotional disturbance and unhealthy behaviors. But we have the power to take control of our lives. With the help of guidance, insight and self-awareness, it can be done. I believe that we are all humans with the ability to love ourselves and make positive change. Let me help you adjust to life changes, improve your relationships, manage stress, cope with loss, and most importantly become more resilient.

As a queer and neurodivergent therapist, I am passionate about offering services for these communities. I support folks who are seeking a safe space to discuss their gender or sexual identity as well as folks simply wanting to work with a queer therapist. I also enjoy working with individuals who are wanting support as they explore their own neurodivergent identities. I am sex positive and welcome clients of sexual, relational, and gender diversity. I am poly/ethical non-monogamy affirming and kink aware. As a white individual, I am committed to doing my own anti-racism work to unlearn oppressive values.

Life transitions can cause great strain in our lives and can lead to even greater pain if not addressed. Signs that you may be struggling with a life transition are depression, anxiety, feeling unsettled and lost, emptiness, fatigue, chronic pain, unexplained ailments, and illnesses. Life is full of painful transitions. Transitions can disconnect you from your true self, what’s important to you, and ultimately disconnect you from a life with meaning. Greater clarity, self-confidence, and balance will help you reconnect with your true self and your values to live a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

In dealing with conflicts, it is often not the problem itself that causes gridlock, but how we talk about it. When we focus on improving communication, we can turn conflicts into chances to turn toward one another and create shared meaning. Together, we can explore your story to identify outdated patterns created by trauma, to enable a more fulfilling life that is tailored to your present self, rather than old, protective instincts. Ignoring your needs may deepen wounds, hindering enjoyment of life and current relationships. Break free from these patterns for a more enriching and authentic existence. It all starts TODAY!

You may feel disconnected in your relationships and overwhelmed by your emotions. Maybe you're very hard on yourself or have difficulty making decisions. I can help you learn to trust yourself, increase self-compassion, and improve your relationships. Therapy is a process of getting to know yourself and your strengths. Together, we can help you get clear on what you really want and develop steps to meet your goals.

We all encounter major stress and loss and often we recover well on our own. Sometimes life becomes overwhelming, confusing and too big to process alone.

I am passionate about helping clients connect to their core values in therapy. We'll use mindfulness-based therapies to help you become aware of thoughts and behaviors that prevent you from experiencing a joyful and authentic life. I enjoy using humor, creativity and self-compassion in my practice.
