About Me

  • I have over 10 years of experience from Olympia/Seattle, WA to Austin, TX working with individuals and couples with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, OCD, Suicidal Ideation, Trauma, and Sexual Abuse. I served as a clinician at the group practice in north Austin - The Listening Room. I created a Social Emotional Learning program for Homeschool Teens in Austin - TeenTurf ATX. I built a personalized therapist matching service in Seattle (2018-2021) - CareNook, LLC. I founded a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization sharing human values - Sunday Assembly Olympia. Interned at Sea Mar Community Mental Health Center - clinical treatment for a range of disorders - individual, couple, family, and group therapy. I’m also a social work and have a Bachelor of Social Work from Texas State University. My previous work and volunteer experience as a mental health professional in a variety of settings to including a hospital, shelter, and school. People often describe me as genuine, authentic, fun, empathetic, and determined.

  • I stay up to date with memberships and trainings through AAMFT (American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy) and Austin IN Connection for Mental Health Professionals.

  • My approach to therapy consists of Psychodynamic Therapy, Experiential Methods, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), AEDP, and Person-Centered Therapy. I pay close attention to timing and only going at your pace. I work from a very in-depth perspective. Therefore, my practice is rooted around building a solid therapeutic relationship with you, so we can explore your challenges at the deepest level. We gain valuable insight about the relationships in your life from our therapeutic relationship together while I ensure the safety of the relationship you need to grow. Working from this in-depth approach truly allows you to gain long-term therapeutic benefits that will last a lifetime!

  • Besides being a psychotherapist, I am a dedicated full-time single homeschool mom to two children - a 10yr old non-binary child and 19yr old daughter, along with our black Poodle mix and German Shepherd puppy. I love to hike with my family, eat at Tex-Mex restaurants, watch movies at Alamo Drafthouse, and sink my teeth into a big, challenging project. I also picked up a new hobby during Covid - armchair treasure hunting as I love a good brain puzzle!

  • My own personal experiences continually inform my work every day. I continually engage in therapy for myself - to help my own life (I get the struggles!) and also to help my work as a clinician (vulnerable people make the best therapists!). I learn and grow from doing this work - the change and healing in my clients truly continues to inspire me.
