  • Austin IN Connection for Mental Health Professionals

My approach to therapy consists of...

  • Psychodynamic Therapy, Experiential Methods, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), AEDP, and Person-Centered Therapy

  • paying close attention to timing and only going at your pace

  • a solid therapeutic relationship, so we can explore your challenges at the deepest level

  • gaining valuable insight about the relationships in your life from my relationship with you

  • the long-term in mind so you can have benefits that finally last!

Besides being a psychotherapist...

  • I am a dedicated full-time single mom to two children - an 8yr old son and 17yr old daughter and we have a small black poodle mix and a black cat

  • I like to hike with my family, eat at Tex-Mex restaurants, watch movies at Alamo Drafthouse, and sink my teeth into a big, challenging project

  • My own personal experiences continually inform my work every day

  • I continually engage in therapy for myself - to help my own life (I get the struggles!) and also to help my work as a clinician (vulnerable people make the best therapists!)

  • I learn and grow from doing this work - the change and healing in my clients truly continues to inspire me.
