Hi! I am a licensed counselor based in Austin, Texas. My style is friendly, focused, and down-to-earth. I aim to be helpful with each individual I work with, and take pride in designing a therapy that will really work for you. I’ve trained in a variety of approaches and find that virtually all approaches offer something valuable. However, I believe the classic fundamentals of therapy - empathy and a good collaborative therapeutic relationship - are the primary basis for effective therapy and therefore I put a lot of effort into these. One of my views about life is that it is often asking for various forms of balance: Balancing kindness and strength, tenderness and toughness, openness and clarity, relaxation and alertness. And so in therapy, I always strive to create the right balance for you of supportiveness and challenge. And, I invite and encourage your candid feedback about the process (and by candid I mean candid - really!) so I can make appropriate adjustments. Therapy, like life, can be a wonderful adventure and I’m glad for the opportunity to support you in the journey. *** Education: St. Edwards University, Masters in Counseling, 2012.

I believe healing happens when people feel safe enough to be honest—with themselves and with someone else. My approach is grounded, compassionate, and collaborative. I work with clients who feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. I integrate mindfulness, emotional regulation, and culturally responsive care to support clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and identity-related concerns. I especially enjoy working with clients who are ready to slow down, reflect, and build a more grounded relationship with their emotions. I strive to create a space where you feel seen, respected, and supported—without judgment or pressure to have it all figured out. Therapy with me is not about fixing you; it’s about helping you reconnect with your strengths and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust.
