I’ve been a practicing psychotherapist in Austin since 2004, where I’ve worked with individuals, families, couples, and groups. Besides seeing clients in my private practice, I’ve been a psychotherapist in ten other clinical settings, working with individuals from a very wide variety of backgrounds. In our work together, a new client can expect a comfortable therapy experience focused on deepening interpersonal connections and coping with old problems in creative ways.

Do you want to grow and self-actualize? My modalities are experiential/insight oriented, so I like to work with people who look into themselves for healthier, fulfilled lives. Do you have depression/anxiety, bipolar? Looking for a career change, have gender identity questions, or want to maximize your potential? Need learning disability advocacy? Then call me today. We bring our past and decisions into every situation. Knowing what those decisions are, and that the past does not define us, is the first step in successful therapy. I use re-decision, Gestalt, NLP, hypnosis, and mindfulness to find answers and peace within.

Entering into therapy with a clinician who is skilled, empathic, understanding, and without judgement is a critical component to a successful therapeutic experience. I view therapy as a collaborative process where you and I work together to define your treatment goals and explore the issues that are of concern to you. I work hard to create a safe, supportive environment where you can share your experiences, elicit feedback, and work towards change. While my primary therapeutic model is psychodynamic, I also take advantage of other modalities, working to meet the individual needs of my clients.

It’s normal to feel ambivalent about recovery. Maybe you’ve found yourself looking for relief, but afraid of all recovery entails. Perhaps your experience has been minimized by those around you and now you tell yourself “it’s not bad enough” to warrant help. It can feel daunting to think of overhauling your life or giving up something that, at times, still provides comfort. I get it. I know what it’s like to be torn between the comfort of what is familiar, in a time that seems rife with chaos and tragedy, and the desire to have a life that feels purposeful and expansive, that is more than “just getting by.”

I view therapy as a deeply transformative experience where people may discover more of who they are and ultimately find a greater sense of peace. Our suffering is often a result of a complex set of circumstances involving our sense of self, our relationships with others, our thoughts, and our feelings. I believe each person deserves to be understood in all of his or her complexity. It is only within an open and accepting relationship with another that we can begin to experience ourselves and our relationships in a new and healing way.

Like most of my clients I have my own share of childhood trauma. I’ve had to deconstruct childhood messages of not being good enough. I’ve had to learn to set boundaries and learn that I’m not required to put others' needs above my own. I think learning that I'm loved and worthy, even when other's are angry with me has been the most difficult lesson of all. The very path that many of you are starting out on, I have walked myself. This journey isn't about reliving your worst memories, it's taking away their power. I’ve worked hard to reclaim my own story, now I want to help you reclaim yours.

My approach to therapy is interpersonal and collaborative. I strive to develop a strong therapeutic alliance that will allow us to achieve your treatment goals. I have a strong interest in multicultural issues and working with diverse populations. For me, diversity not only consists of race or ethnicity but also consists of sexual orientation, gender, socioeconomic status, religious affiliation, age, and a myriad of other characteristics that make an individual unique. I integrate your personal history (narrative) and solution-focused goals to develop a treatment plan in order to facilitate growth and change you wish to see in your life.

Hi and Welcome! I'm grateful you're taking the time to explore what connecting with me may be like. I was twenty-something when life taught me strong relationships are the key to health and well-being. Neuroscience has proven this true and we now know that we are inherently wired for connection on a neurobiological level. Connection isn’t a luxury, it’s essential to our survival. Ironically, it’s connection that can also be the source of our most profound pain and suffering. No matter how deep the hurt or how great the loss, things can shift when we feel seen, heard, and understood by another. We heal in connection with others.

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results." ADDICTION & DEPENDENCY result from an unconscious refusal to move through the pain of withdrawal (from a chemical, thought-process, behavior, other person, etc.). The behavior gets repeated, accompanied by cycles of disappointment, shame, GRIEF, frustration and isolation. Having experienced this same cycle (more than once) I bring years of education, training, personal recovery experiences and compassion to our therapeutic relationship. My PERSONAL therapeutic process is on-going. I would be honored to help you in yours. EASY? Nope. WORTH IT? Yes!

To all my anxious, jaw clenching, tired, "no really, I'm fine", guilt-ridden, conflict avoiding, peacekeepers out there! I see you. Life can feel SO overwhelming when anxiety, self-doubt, past trauma, or relationship challenges affect your day-to-day experiences. Whether it's feeling anxious around people, feeling misunderstood by family/partners, or carrying the emotional weight of others, these struggles can leave you feeling isolated, drained, and on edge. It's exhausting! But you don't have to handle it all alone.
