About

I truly enjoy working with people and often find that we're so much more similar than we might think. Being seen and understood can be healing in itself.  Most of us are working on a relationship in some form or another whether it be a better relationship with ourselves or with others. As an Austin-based Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I'd love to help you through that.

​

I've called Austin home since 2006 (undergrad: Washington State University, 2004; graduate: St. Edward's University, 2009) — though I do love escaping to the mountains to recharge!

​

My Approach

​

I believe in relationship which means I show up as an authentic collaborator, not just a clinician. I'll be real with you, share some laughs, push you toward growth, and hold space for the messiness. I draw from:

• Attachment-based therapy

• Internal Family Systems (IFS)

• Experiential & Humanistic approaches

• Family Systems therapy

​

Credentials & Training

​

• Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)

• PACT Level II trained — an attachment-based approach to couples counseling

• Regular AASECT training attendee (to deepen my understanding of sexuality and intimacy in relationships)

• Past Austin Group Psychotherapy Society Board Member & Secretary
