Family therapy and counseling in Austin, TX

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience in the Austin area helping parents and children overcome emotional and behavioral challenges. Services are provided in-home and in the community.

I give you a space to explore, feel, question, cry, scream, cuss, fall apart, and fall together. I like wrestling with whatever it is that is coming up in your heart or mind. I am open minded and care about the burdens you carry around everyday. It's hard work to grow yourself and we can work together to create and achieve your goals. I believe your story matters and holds a lot of power in shaping your life.

I earned my M.Ed. in Counselor Education from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, LA. My path into the counseling field has been shaped by a deep passion for both the healing process and holistic wellness. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work in various levels of care, including residential and intensive outpatient settings, where I gained invaluable clinical experience and a deeper appreciation for mental health care..

I work well with children, adolescents and adults, parents, couples and families. I work with helping people improve their self concept, eliminating negative thoughts that disturb our peace of mind. I help people through transitions in their life, trauma, whether that be changes in school/work, relationships, grief and loss, moves, retirement, recreating themselves etc. I help individuals, couples and families communicate in a way that betters their interpersonal relationships. I work with past grief and traumas that get in the way of healthy life functioning. I help people move toward a balanced and happier overall way of life.

I offer an interpersonal style of therapy and I use many modalities and much experience to help individuals, couples and families work through difficulties they may be facing or helping work toward living a more aware, peaceful life. Check out my website for more information. My clients say that they are put at ease with me immediately and I help them.

I am here to listen with a trained ear and help with a easy warmth that will allow you to be gentler with yourself as you become the you that you dreamed to be.

Professionally, I have spent a decade in education (five years as a classroom teacher and five years as a school counselor). This is my third year as a therapist outside of the school setting.

For my masters degree, I attended Texas State University in San Marcos, TX (Eat 'em up cats!). At Texas State, I completed my MA in Professional Counseling with two focuses: school counseling and clinical mental health.

As a former educator, the populations I support include adolescents, young adults, educators, parents/guardians, and caretakers.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) who specializes in trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship issues. I work with teens, adults, couples, and families, helping clients heal from trauma, strengthen relationships, and create lasting change. Whether we're meeting in the therapy office, outdoors with horses, or virtually, my goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can build resilience, deepen relationships, and move toward the life you want.

I am a native Texan, auntie, ice cream-loving, roller skating, retired professional athlete who also happens to be a Therapist. My background in the world of mental health dates back 10 years, in my work with families of Autism, Substance abuse and misuse, Student-athletes, Life- transitions, and family therapy. I enjoy introducing people back to themselves as they unpack their past with grace and patience. If you are experiencing racing thoughts, overthinking, or people-pleasing, let our work together find the root cause and, from there, uncover solutions that work for you. I believe that therapy does not have to be "forever," and my role is to safely get you to a place of wholeness within your next quest and journey.

I am a licensed psychologist and founder of Canopy Counseling, bringing 20 years of experience and a Psy.D. from Yeshiva University to my practice. I specialize in helping children, adolescents, and adults navigate challenges such as ADHD, anxiety, attachment issues, and trauma. To foster profound healing, my integrative approach thoughtfully blends traditional therapies with advanced modalities like EMDR and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). Ultimately, I view therapy as a collaborative journey and am dedicated to providing a safe, compassionate space tailored to your unique path toward growth.
