EMDR Therapists in Austin, TX

Writing a Psychology Today profile feels a lot like writing a dating profile—trying to stand out and hoping to connect with someone looking for what I offer. Whether you're single and searching, in a relationship and unsure, or committed and seeking deeper connection, I understand the challenges you face. The ups and downs of dating, the uncertainty, and fear of rejection can be daunting. Or maybe you're in a relationship, questioning if this is the right person, struggling with where to compromise, and fearing settling. For those in committed relationships, you may want to resolve conflict, and deepen your connection.

Everyone goes through difficult times in their lives where they feel unsettled and unsure of their direction. These moments often come with feelings of anxiety and depression that can weigh you down and make you feel stuck. I want to help you move past these feelings and work toward the life you have always wanted. To do this I work from a person-centered perspective and feel that the relationship between therapist and client is of the utmost importance. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and couples dealing with depression, social anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, addiction, and relationship issues, just to name a few.

Hi! Are you experiencing relationship struggles, a job or career change, or feeling stuck and overwhelmed but not quite sure why? Sometimes transitions can cause us to feel lost, unsettled, or simply unhappy. Previous traumas, big or small, likely play a part in these current unwanted or negative feelings. Together, we can work through these difficult situations with resolution in mind. I have a background in helping others with relationship struggles, processing trauma, and being a trusted resource for healing.

She helps people hone their anger management skills and address the flip side of the coin: initiating the healing process after someone has endured physical, emotional, or sexual abuse.
