About

"Start by doing what's necessary. Then do what's possible. And suddenly you are doing the impossible." 

I truly enjoy working with people and often find that we are so much more similar than we might think. Being seen and understood by someone can be healing in and of itself. After all most of us are working on a relationship in some form or another whether it be a better relationship with ourselves or with others. I'd love to help you through that. 

​

I've been active and interested in this field since 2009 but have been studying psychology for much longer. My first psychology class in undergraduate school piqued my interest. Through my own personal work and professional endeavors, I have learned a lot about struggle and growth and strive to build on that to provide the best care possible. 

​

I received my undergraduate degree from Washington State University in 2004 and my graduate degree from St. Edward's University in 2009. I've been in Austin since 2006 and love living here. Although I do love to escape to the mountains every so often to recharge. Being in nature brings true joy.
