Clients often see me as their greatest cheerleader, providing warmth, non-judgmental understanding, and genuine encouragement in a safe space for growth. I blend evidence-based practices with empathy and authenticity, creating a therapeutic environment where clients feel validated and empowered to tackle their challenges and achieve lasting solutions. Additionally, I guide clients in developing practical skills and daily habits to apply the insights gained in therapy to their daily lives, promoting sustainable progress.

- Solution Focused Interventions
- Meditation and Relaxation Techniques
- Strength-Based Approaches
Fun Facts
My favorite outdoor activity is snowboarding.
I love live music because I love to dance. I find dancing is one of the best ways to be in the present moment.
Self-care for me is meditation, sunshine, journaling, talking with those I love, exploring new places, stopping to appreciate the Texas wildflowers.
My favorite Austin activity is being outdoors. Town Lake and Deep Eddy Pool are some of my ATX happy places.
For me, creativity is creating events that bring people together, dancing, making people laugh, baking and cooking.
I feel calm and content when I am running outside without my phone and in the present moment.
The best Saturday afternoon includes farmers market, tacos, running, napping and live music. I want to do it all!
I’m a total nerd about good coffee.
My favorite quote is… "As we work to create light for others, we naturally light our own way." - Mary Anne Radmacher
