Hi there! I am glad we have crossed paths, and am here to help you navigate through life's challenges. Maybe you're dealing with relationship issues, a life transition, self-esteem issues, grief & loss, or simply trying to find yourself. If you're feeling confused and overwhelmed with emotion, deciding to meet with a therapist can be the first step toward relief.
I have nearly 20 years of experience helping people find answers to the difficulties they face. I believe you are the expert as it relates to your symptoms and your life experiences. My role is to collaborate with you, offer guidance and insight, and work together with you toward your goals. Ultimately, I feel it is most important that there is a strong rapport between you and me, and that you feel comfortable in an easygoing, non-judgmental atmosphere. I would love to have the opportunity to help you tap into your strengths, and discover the personal peace and fulfillment we all want out of life. Let's Do This!
I have big reactions. I’m not the type of therapist who just nods and asks, “how does that make you feel?” I’m expressive, emotionally honest, and unafraid to challenge you when you need it. I see therapy as a space for truth-telling, reclaiming your parts, and learning how to stay present with your life... even the parts you wish you could fast forward through.
I specialize in working with individuals who are dealing with anxiety, stress, boundary setting, relationship conflicts, trust issues, parenting struggles, and life transitions. I have worked in a variety of setting including crisis hotlines, high schools and mental health community centers. I have worked with a wide range of age groups and backgrounds. I help my clients identify the issues, create understanding and find meaningful solutions to the issues clients bring into therapy.
My focus has been on helping people cope with trauma, physical, sexual or emotional. I graduated from Texas Tech in 2015 with my master's in Community Mental Health Counseling.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Austin
Finding couples therapists in Austin starts with understanding what you want to work on together. Austin couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, parenting disagreements, or intimacy concerns. Not all therapists have specific training in couples counseling, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists, or therapists who list couples-focused approaches such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy in their profiles.
Austin has a large mental health care market, with therapists across areas like downtown Austin, South Congress, North Austin, and nearby communities. Having many options can make the search harder for two people with different schedules, location needs, and preferences. Some couples prefer in-person sessions near work or home, while others choose virtual appointments to make shared scheduling easier. As you compare Austin marriage counseling options, review each therapist’s bio for their approach, availability, session structure, and whether they offer a brief consultation to assess fit.
Couples therapy in Austin can be expensive without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for couples counseling in Austin by insurance, availability, specialty, and appointment format. You can review therapist profiles, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients, making it easier to find relationship counseling that matches your needs and your plan.
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.
