Welcome! I’m a therapist in Austin, TX, specializing in tweens, teens, and adults with histories of trauma, anxiety, and neurodiversity.

Anxiety
You’re constantly bracing for something to go wrong — even when everything seems fine on the outside. I use a combination of methods to work with anxiety including CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness.
Trauma and PTSD
Your nervous system is stuck in survival mode and can’t find the off switch. I can use EMDR to help you with PTSD symptoms or distressing memories they’d like to reprocess.
Neurodiversity
Natural differences in the way we learn, think, and communicate which can affect our mental health and come along with many complex feelings. I affirm all these differences and help you to navigate the complex feelings.
Emotion regulation
Sometimes your emotions get the best of you and you react in ways you don’t fully understand – snapping, avoiding, or falling into patterns you wish you could break. Using a combination of interpersonal neurobiology and polyvagal theory I can help you to learn signals your body is getting dysregulated and tools to help you get back into your window of tolerance.
Compassionate Therapy, In Person or Online
Some folks prefer the comfort and accessibility of virtual therapy at home, while others prefer the connection of a face-to-face session. In-person sessions are in Buda (just south of Austin), and secure virtual appointments are available for all residents of Texas.
