Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Hutto, TX

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, but it’s also the first courageous step toward healing and growth. I'm a compassionate and dedicated therapist with a deep passion for helping individuals reconnect with their strengths, navigate life’s challenges, and move toward lasting change. With extensive experience supporting clients through various struggles, I bring a grounded and empathetic presence to each session.

Lifelong curiosity is key to my work as a therapist, with five years of experience providing counseling support for individuals and families and over a decade as an educator. There is nothing I love more than learning about people and helping to provide space for them to express themselves authentically.

I hold so much respect for anyone seeking therapeutic support for themselves or a loved one. My own mental health journey inspired me to help others, so know that I have been where you are. I am so grateful someone was looking out for me and encouraging this kind of care when I needed it most. That support proved invaluable for me, which is why I am so passionate about working with individuals exploring therapy for the first time. Taking that first step is not always easy, but I firmly believe the effort and vulnerability you put into this work is rewarded with meaningful growth.

My practice started out of a deep desire to help heal trauma passed down through generations. As a child of two trauma survivors myself, I know that these wounds can begin in childhood and follow us well into our adult lives. My goal is to work together to notice and intervene in harmful patterns that keep us trapped in cycles of pain and heartbreak.

I received my BS in Psychology and my MS in Clinical Counseling Psychology. I have a passion for helping people gain skills to endure, overcome, ant thrive. I fell in love with all things psychology at a young age and have gained a great many life experiences that have taught me a deep level of empathy and understanding.

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.

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.
