I believe that self-compassion and self-acceptance are essential for promoting growth and healing. My work with clients is informed by multiple therapeutic approaches grounded in psychodynamic, attachment, somatic, emotion-focused, and mindfulness-based techniques to help clients reconnect with themselves and heal at a core level. I regularly utilize AEDP, ISTDP and Internal Family Systems with clients. I aim to help clients heal the source of their distress, build capacity for emotion expression and regulation, and incorporate behaviors that lead to a healthier self and stronger relationships.
I received my B.A. in Psychology from Vassar College and my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Palo Alto University in Palo Alto, CA.
Some of my passions include working with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ folks. I enjoy working with individuals and couples. I have additional training on Emotion Focused Therapy allowing me to connect with attachment needs and help heal through establishing a secure attachment in relationships.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Austin
Searching for therapists in Austin starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Austin has a broad mental health community, with therapists across neighborhoods like South Austin, Mueller, Zilker, and North Austin. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions, look for a therapist whose listed specialties match what you want to address. Provider bios can also help you understand a therapist’s approach, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, couples therapy, or other styles of care.
In a major metro like Austin, having many options can make the search harder to narrow. Start with the practical details that shape whether a therapist is a usable match: appointment times, whether they are accepting new patients, location, and format. Some people prefer an in-person office close to work, school, or home, while others choose virtual sessions for easier scheduling. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns like Austin counseling, couples therapy in Austin, or relationship counseling.
Therapy in Austin can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and get a clearer sense of what you may pay before you book. Headway makes that process easier by helping you search Austin, Texas therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review detailed bios, see estimated costs after adding your insurance, and book directly when you are ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
