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.

My therapeutic approach combines cognitive behavioral, client-centered, humanistic, trauma-focused and solution-focused therapy. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. A great therapeutic relationship established at the onset of meeting the client is vital to bring about the change expected, which is why finding a therapist that the client feels comfortable with is half the battle. I AM THAT THERAPIST. So, I strive to establish a great therapeutic relationship with clients that fosters a strong rapport, trust, unconditional positive regard, respect, dignity and compassion. As a non-judgmental and open-minded listener, I approach the therapeutic relationship with acute sensitivity to multi/cross-cultural factors. I constantly remind myself that the basic core of therapy is about helping people get unstuck from recurring and distruptive emotional thoughts. When this is achieved, clients appreciate the importance of therapy. Above all, I love helping people and doing so gives me the great joy to keep impacting lives.
