"We are homesick most for the places we have never known.” – Carson McCullers

Welcome.

Whether you’re pursuing counseling for the first time or you consider yourself a therapy pro, you’re probably on this site because you’re not experiencing what you want out of life—you’re seeking something bigger, bolder, or brighter. By noticing that longing, you’ve already taken the first step towards making the change you want for yourself.

It takes motivation to look inward, honesty to build awareness, and courage to make change. Can you do that on your own? Perhaps. Isn’t it nice to know you don’t have to?

I believe there is a life force and loving energy at the core of every person, including you. I am dedicated to helping you restore the well-being that is inherently inside you.

I am a proud member of Austin Therapy Alliance, a consortium of independent psychotherapists who are holistic, trauma informed, and highly skilled.  Each provider has a unique therapeutic approach and style,  while sharing a commitment to adhere to the highest ethical standards and best practices in the mental health field. By creating community, Austin Therapy Alliance practitioners elevate and champion one another through consultation, inspiration, encouragement, and support.  The ultimate impact of this collaboration is improved outcomes for our clients.

My relationship with each client begins with a 15-minute phone consultation so I can assess if I think I can help you, and you can ask me any questions you have. Don’t forget to check out my FAQ page. If I’m not the therapist for you, I will try to connect you to other counseling resources.
