Neurodivergence comes with challenges of all sorts. Together, we will prioritize your needs (yes, you do need rest!) and identify tools (structure, flexibility, and more!) that work for you. Let's turn your executive functioning barriers into healthy boundaries and balanced relationships (with yourself and others!), so you can start living with confidence and joy. If you’re a parent on top of that, you have even more need to reflect on your childhood and practice the care you want to teach your kids! In our work together, we will sift through old patterns and discover the free, aligned person you want to be.

*I currently have a few spots available online. My focus is with those navigating the world of early adulthood and beyond. I have been honored to witness individuals grow into themselves as they utilize a safe space to freely speak their mind.

As a relational therapist, my approach is based in the understanding that secure relationships with ourselves and others are essential to our emotional well-being. In my practice, I use the framework provided by the field of interpersonal neurobiology (IPNB) to explain how our brain, body and relationships work together to create our mind – or lived experience. Because these three systems are different for every one of us, they interact – or integrate – differently, providing us with our own unique take on the world – and on ourselves and our relationships with others.

I specialize in helping those who are looking for a better quality of life. I'm an experienced therapist who has helped many individuals discover what has been missing from their lives by tackling fears and worry thoughts that have created stagnancy and the feeling of "being stuck." I have my BA from the University of Texas of Austin in 2005 and an M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Saint Edward's University in 2009.

I serve diverse adults (age 20+), specifically those who have alternative identities (artists, creatives, counter-culture, & minorities of all types) as well as other therapists. I provide a non-judgmental and understanding space for people who may have struggled engaging in therapy in the past due to feeling judged for being “weird” or “different”. My clients typically feel stuck in one or more areas of life (relationship, family, career, holistic health, identity, personal happiness, etc.) and are sometimes struggling with mood and/or anxiety disorders, substance abuse, maladaptive coping behaviors, unresolved traumas, etc.

I work with people who feel stuck in patterns and cycles of avoidance, pain, distress, and conflict. My clients are often those who need to figure out a new way forward and are open to feedback in ways they can approach their problems. Perhaps you need helping deciding your next step, exploring continued unhelpful behaviors, or need help establishing new ways to communicate and connect. I focus on helping you cultivate self-compassion, assertiveness, and confidence; developing ways to reduce suffering, anxiety, social withdrawal, and self-neglect.

"Only when we're brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light." - Brene Brown. Every person has their own strongholds to overcome, I am a firm believer that every person deserves insight, healing and above all, freedom. My passion lies in walking alongside that journey and empowering people to create the life they want to have both internally and in their relationships with the significant people in their lives.

Are you struggling with relationships? Do you suffer from deep anxiety or depression? Do you feel stuck or alone? Through my facilitation and guidance of the therapeutic process combined with the safety created in the space between us, we can work toward healing. Therapy with me is highly relational, as I recognize the importance of establishing trust and safety in order for therapy to happen. As a therapist, I utilize an integrative, holistic approach, with IFS, Interpersonal Neurobiology, and Attachment theory as anchoring modalities. My areas of focus include generalized anxiety & depression, relationships & trauma.

I believe that we can make many changes in our lives in a myriad of ways. We can make changes within ourselves by breaking negative thinking patterns, learning new ways to manage and react to feelings, or by changing behavioral habits. We can also makes changes in our physical and social world, and I seek to help you make decisions and find solutions by identifying realistic, practical, acheivable goals. Core to my practice is a belief that therapy does not need to be painful to be effective, and that smaller changes lead to more and bigger changes.

Being curious about what makes us feel and act the way we do brings authenticity, creativity, and choices into our lives. Our self-concept and beliefs about the world are often formed in childhood and learned in our primary relationships. Unconsciously, these early experiences guide many of the decisions in our lives. I am passionate about exploring with you, the patterns that may leave you feeling confused, frustrated, or unable to move forward. Together, we will create space to cultivate conscious and caring responses to the inevitable challenging events of life.

Are you struggling with connection and intimacy in your relationships? Do you feel misunderstood and frustrated after conversations with your loved ones? Disconnection in our relationships can leave us feeling isolated and lonely - even when our loved one is sitting right next to us. I am skilled at helping others heal their “relational wounds", strengthening their connection and understanding of themselves and other important people in their lives. Counseling with me can be described as a journey to heal past wounds. The best part is, this kind of work isn't just for couples, but also for parents, families, or individuals.

I believe everyone is doing the best they can with what they have. I connect through curiosity and compassion to meet you where you are. In our work together, my goal is for you to feel supported and empowered in your healing journey. I hope to guide you to recognize and use your strengths to make the most of your life and circumstances. I use a trauma-informed perspective that enables us to reach a level of safety in which you can process, experience emotions, and advocate for your needs. I believe deeply in the healing power of a secure therapeutic relationship between you and your therapist.
