I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Austin, Texas, with over 25 years of experience working in both private practice and public education. I work with children, teens, and adults, and bring a compassionate, collaborative approach to supporting clients through a wide range of challenges.
My therapeutic work integrates evidence-based practices including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy, all grounded in a family systems perspective. I specialize in working with teens and children, and bring deep insight into the unique needs of young people, both in and out of the school environment.
I believe in meeting each client with respect, sensitivity, and empathy. Our work together will be tailored to your individual goals and needs, with a focus on practical tools and small, meaningful steps that can lead to lasting change. My goal is to help you build a more balanced, fulfilling life.
Starting therapy is a courageous step—and I’m honored to be part of your journey.
