Couples therapists in Austin, TX

Volunteering has been vital to me since my teenage years; therefore, it was fitting that I choose therapy as my career. After completing a master's in counseling, I volunteered at Catholic Charities (Houston) to complete my hours for the license. In addition to CBT, DBT, and CPT, I have also added EMDR, among others, to complement my experience and desire for growth.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, relationship stress, or difficult life experiences? You might be struggling to manage emotions, feeling stuck in patterns that aren’t working, or unsure how to move forward. I work with children, teens, adults, and couples facing challenges like depression, trauma, family conflict, and major life transitions. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel understood, supported, and equipped with tools to build confidence, improve relationships, and feel more in control of your life.

I believe that every person has the capacity for growth, healing, and meaningful change. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable exploring life’s challenges, processing difficult emotions, and gaining a deeper understanding of themselves. I know that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, so I work to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported from the very beginning. I’m especially passionate about helping individuals navigate concerns related to trauma, anxiety, stress, relationships, and family issues while building insight, resilience, and healthier ways of coping.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) providing evidence-based, insurance-accepted mental health care to children, adolescents, and adults. I offer both psychotherapy and medication management, allowing for a comprehensive and integrated approach to mental health treatment.

My clinical work includes the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, and other psychiatric concerns. I believe effective treatment is highly individualized, and I work collaboratively with clients to develop care plans that align with their goals, preferences, and lived experiences.

I strive to create a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental environment where clients of all ages feel heard and supported. Whether you are seeking therapy, medication management, or a combination of both, I am committed to providing compassionate care that supports long-term mental wellness.

I view people like quilts: layered, unique, and shaped by life’s experiences. Some pieces are strengthened by love and resilience, while others are worn by grief, divorce, trauma, or survival. Healing doesn’t require discarding parts of yourself. Even the worn places can become part of something whole.

Life can feel overwhelming when stress, difficult experiences, relationship challenges, or emotional struggles begin affecting your ability to function the way you want to. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, family conflict, parenting concerns, or the impact of past experiences, you don't have to face it alone. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families who are looking for support, healing, and practical tools to create meaningful change. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling exhausted, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward after years of trying to manage everything on their own. My goal is to provide a supportive, affirming environment where you feel understood and empowered. Together, we'll identify what's contributing to your challenges, build on your strengths, and work toward healthier relationships, improved coping skills, and a more balanced life.
