About My Clients
If you have emotions or mental health symptoms that are derailing your life; are a people-pleasing, perfectionist or avoidant; feel like you’re not good enough; and/or wanting to make some changes working with me may be a great option! I work with folks who are trying out new ways of thinking, connecting to their wisdom, and focusing on their healing. I work with couples who want to strengthen communication skills, emotional support, and secure attachment with each other.
My Background and Approach
My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and centered on your needs. I help folks find a sense of safety and peace by returning to their own wisdom and strength. I'll encourage you in mindsets and practices that will help you have healthier relationships with yourself and others. Through a nonjudgmental healing relationship, we'll identity thought and behavior patterns and strategies for growth. I help folks go deep into their emotions, wounds, and pain to address the roots of anxiety, trauma and unhealthy relationships. A yoga instructor and self-described "brain nerd," I like to share mindfulness practices and brain science and guide you through experiences to help you understand yourself better. I'm also trained in EMDR. We’ll figure out or solidify a self- or relationship-care routine that works. I've worked with clients from age 5 to 85 in a variety of settings. I completed my MSSW at the University of Texas at Austin and have been in private practice since 2019.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
LGBTQ+-friendly // Sex-positive // Anti-oppressive // Spiritual // Health At Every Size I believe that moment to moment, we are doing the best we can. Sometimes our best doesn't look great, which can create a lot of shame or hurt either from others or within ourselves. I believe that the systems we’re all living under are not built to support our thriving. To thrive is radical. I believe that it can be difficult to learn how to have a healthy relationship with our emotions and ourselves so sometimes we have to learn that in therapy. I believe that shame and judgement hold us back from living our best lives, and it is revolutionary to throw them off as often as possible. I believe that human beings are oriented toward healing and thriving and that we can all feel better if we can figure out what kind of support we need and find it. Let me know how I can help you grow.
