I am a Licensed Professional Counselor operating primarily on a virtual platform, however, based on scheduling, I can offer in-person sessions in Austin and Bastrop. I have spent the past four years as a therapist supporting a wide variety of mental health needs. But I think an equally valuable part of my journey has been as a counseling client, learning first-hand what it is like for those who sit with me in session. I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to have their mental wellness fostered, and I want to provide that space for you our meetings.

Do you want to have better, healthier, happier relationships with yourself and other people? I now have openings! I’m passionate about helping individuals and couples improve the relationships they have with themselves and each other so they can experience more meaningful lives and become their most authentic selves. If you feel “stuck” or unhappy in your current relationship, dream of having a healthy and satisfying partnership, keep repeating the same old relationship patterns, or want to love yourself and accept more deeply, I can help.

I am committed to supporting teens and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, difficult relationships, life-stage transitions, or addictions. By employing a person-centered approach, I enable clients to gain self-awareness and empower them to find solutions. I also help couples navigate relational challenges, whether they are early in their relationship or have been together for many years. All relationships face conflict, and I seek to guide couples to build skills to manage their conflict in a healthy manner.

I join clients on their personal and professional journeys and support them in leveling up their lives! As a hybrid life coach and therapist, I offer support on achieving outcomes (such as "I want to find my mission in life" or "I want to feel really happy and energetic" or "I'm ready to open/level up my business") and I work with clients who are truly ready for growth! The bonus outcomes - my clients report increased self-confidence, clarity on life and purpose, assertiveness, increased joy, better relationships, and as a result they take bold steps into their authentic selves and write their own stories.

The focus of starting a new therapeutic relationship is to create a safe space where you can unpack challenges, life transitions, stressors and grasp a better understanding of managing diagnosis including ADHD, depression and anxiety. I have also worked with professionals, new and established, to process stress, anxiety, increase interpersonal effectiveness and leadership presence. I have also worked with people with chronic illness, first-responders and caregivers.

No matter what brings you to therapy, I work with you to identify and heal the unhealthy attachment styles and trauma responses that are painful barriers in your life today. These barriers are often responsible for all the negative beliefs we have about ourselves now, that only hold us back from our best potential. Our work together teaches you how to break these cycles while gaining a new, healthy perception of yourself today, as well as for the painful issue(s) that brought you to therapy. You will evolve with new insight, awareness, and love for yourself! It's a beautiful transformation and an honor to witness.

Do you want to feel more at home in your own skin? Do you wonder why you haven't already "figured things out"? Do behaviors and beliefs that once helped you survive now keep you from authentically relating with others? Does your gut tell you there is another way of being, but you just can't seem to get there? Whatever your aspiration or longing, being a person isn't easy and transformation can feel daunting. Having struggled with these questions myself, it would be my honor to accompany you on your path. My approach is informed by a therapy model called AEDP, which seeks to undo aloneness and draw upon your innate healing capacity.

Many people come to therapy not knowing where to start, but they have a feeling - a feeling that maybe life could be better. They wonder if they could have a better relationship with themselves and then maybe with others. That they might be able to have more fun, feel safer, more secure; they wonder if they could feel more satisfied and happier. I believe that in order to reach these goals and more we must find a trusted guide on this process of self-discovery. We cannot heal alone; ATX Counseling is here to help.

My goal as a counselor is to offer a safe space for you to be heard, understood, and respected. In addition to counseling and psychotherapy, I have a background in education and performing arts. I enjoy approaching your unique situation in a creative way, in order to help you to meet your goals while gaining new learning and understanding.

I am passionate about helping individuals see and value the good in themselves. Oftentimes our minds can fool us into believing that we are not worthy, not enough, or unloveable. These are generalized falsehoods that are usually rooted in trauma. I work to create a safe space for you to begin to confront such negative core beliefs - to stare them down - in order to begin to challenge, dismantle, and replace them with new, positive beliefs.
