I believe everyone has the capacity to heal. My own therapy helped me to trust in myself and others and I strive to build this trust with you.
My communication style is warm and direct as I first hear your story and then help you slow down. Together we’ll work to understand your emotions. Joy, anger, sadness and fear are messages to inform your life and how you want to be living. Therapy can help you decipher these feelings and get unstuck.
Before starting my private practice, I worked for several years as a middle and elementary school social worker. I hold a Masters degree in Social Work from Texas State University and a Bachelor’s degree in Education from Texas A&M University. I continuously seek out opportunities to learn and grow so that I can provide the best service to you.
I am a mother of two, native Austinite, and coffee aficionado (read addict). I love walking my dogs and speaking Spanish as often as I can.
I work with clients from all walks of life in navigating this chaotic world we find ourselves in. We often unintentionally rely on coping skills and beliefs about ourselves that reinforce feelings of sadness or worry rather than relieve them just to survive day to day. Through a warm, often humorous, and always open-minded person centered approach, I am here to help you examine what does and does not serve you to create or find new ways to approach life so that you can start thriving rather than surviving.
Since 2011, I have worked with women at all stages of pregnancy and motherhood, including those who have experienced infertility, pregnancy loss or complications, birth trauma, a NICU stay and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders.
I am dedicated to providing support to parents and being a mom myself, I understand the joys and hardships!
I received my Master’s Degree in Social Work from The University of Texas at Austin and I have a BS in Psychology from Texas State University.
I’m here to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can be truly heard. I care deeply about helping people work through trauma, improve relationships, strengthen self-esteem, and build confidence. My goal is to help you grow at your own pace and give you the tools to navigate life with more ease and independence.
I am a dedicated Licensed Professional Counselor, perpetually curious about your stories and perspectives. I specialize in treating individuals who are experiencing depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflict, and have a history of relational trauma. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming, body positive, trauma sensitive, culturally sensitive, sex-positive, and mindful of neurodivergencies and abilities.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Austin, TX
Finding postpartum therapists in Austin starts with looking for care that matches your specific needs after pregnancy or birth. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some people also look for a prenatal depression therapist or a counselor for pregnancy before birth. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience in perinatal mental health, postpartum depression counseling, or the PMH-C credential, which signals specialized training in perinatal mental health.
Austin has many therapists across neighborhoods and nearby areas, which can make it harder to narrow your options. For new parents, practical details often matter as much as specialty fit. Consider appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, and whether virtual sessions fit better with infant care, physical recovery, or an unpredictable schedule. Reading therapist bios can help you see how each person describes their approach, communication style, and experience with postpartum depression therapy, postpartum anxiety, and care for new moms.
Therapy in Austin can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway makes it easier to find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, offer upfront cost estimates, and are accepting new patients. You can compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
