Great to meet you!

I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with my Masters in Social Work in 2011. Since then, I've primarily focused on working with individuals struggling with anxiety and traumas. My trainings include Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy. I also have my 200 hour Certification in Yoga, which I believe adds another level of body awareness and somatic work.

My approach to therapy

Do you feel bogged down by events/experiences/memories that occurred in the past, that you thought you had "dealt with" but somehow continue to show up? I am passionate about helping clients learn more about how those earlier experiences impact their world-view today about themselves and others. To do this effectively, I use a combination of cognitive and body- based theories, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

What you can expect from me

I try to gain a good understanding of where my clients are coming from and then help guide them to setting realistic and practical goals.
