Biography

From the time I was born to the time I graduated high school, my father served as an active duty member of the U.S. Marine Corps. Being a military family meant that we moved from coast to coast every three to four years. I was born in California, learned to ride a bike in Japan, and went to my first school dance in North Carolina. Looking back, I actually went to 8 different schools between kindergarten and 12th grade. Whew!

After living in so many different places, I feel very lucky to call the city of Austin home. As the saying goes, “I wasn’t born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could.”  When I’m not therapizing, I enjoy getting deeper into my yoga and meditation practice, going to music festivals, taking ballet classes, and traveling off the grid.

How I work with clients

When it comes to therapy and mental health, I don’t believe in a “quick fix”. Instead, I believe in finding long-term solutions to lifelong struggles. For some clients, this could mean collaborating once a week over the span of two to three months. For other clients, this could mean a one year collaboration. In both cases, the goal is to cultivate a more peaceful mind and create long-lasting, positive change.

My therapy approach consists of gentle exploration and a variety of focused interventions. I will create a safe space in which you can recognize connections between the past and the present. I believe with increased awareness comes a more profound sense of control and an ability to act with intention.

No matter the reason you’re seeking help, you can expect an approach filled with compassion, empathy, and heart. My style is flexible and collaborative. You’ll have the freedom to discuss whatever is on your mind in a comfortable environment without feeling judged or criticized. Sometimes life gives us too much to handle on our own. Let’s work together to find solutions and unlock whatever may be holding you back from living your best life.
