A little about me: I am a partner, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and friend. I relish being in nature, hiking with my dog, reading, cooking, gardening. I have enjoyed exploring the Austin area since moving from Massachusetts in 2021.
My approach draws from clinical training and experience in psychodynamic, mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral treatment approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I have 20+ years of experience working with individuals of all ages and genders, families and couples struggling with a variety of mental health issues and life transitions.
I will provide a quiet, contemplative and collaborative space for you to explore what brings you to therapy and to clarify your unique goals and values. We'll begin to explore what strategies will be most helpful for you to get the most from your therapy. As we continue to meet, I will check in often about how things are going and will always welcome your feedback. You will gain insight, increase self-compassion and learn specific coping skills to try out in real life. Sessions tend to flow organically from "where the client is at," and will usually focus on goals and preferences identified in our early meetings.
