I'm a Licensed Professional Counseling based in Austin, TX with experience working with anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship patterns. I bring warmth, directness, and a genuine respect for the wisdom your system already holds. I'm not here to fix you; I'm here to help you build a relationship with yourself that feels less like a battle and more like a homecoming.
I primarily use an approach called Internal Family Systems because I've seen how powerfully it helps people understand themselves at a deeper level. My approach is defined by the belief that in order to truly change, we must address underlying issues rather than just symptoms. My approach is collaborative and paced to your nervous system; we move as quickly or as slowly as feels right.
Our first session is mostly about getting oriented, both to each other and to what's bringing you in. I'll ask about your history, what's been hard lately, and what you're hoping will be different. I will also introduce the fundaments of my therapeutic model so that we can have a shared language and understanding from which to work.
