As a therapist, I work to create a safe and nurturing environment that allows for self-inquiry and for exploration of the many parts that make up our beings. Together, we can explore and build upon your existing strength and capabilities in order to cultivate greater happiness and fulfillment. We will also work to nurture and make peace with the parts of yourself that you may fear or dislike. I believe that each individual and family brings to therapy everything that they need to make change, and it is my privilege to help you discover those parts of yourself that may lie deep within.
I specialize in working with individuals with early life trauma or hardship, as well as those experiencing anxiety and low self-esteem. I work with clients to foster resilience to shame and self-doubt, to feel confident setting boundaries in relationships, and to build healthy coping skills across the different areas of their lives.AM
I believe that therapy is both an experience and a relationship. To begin our relationship working together, I invite you to contact me. We can set a time for a complimentary phone consultation. I look forward to hearing from you!

*Currently accepting new members* This support group provides a welcoming and affirmative space for those involved in sex work to explore mental health concerns and to receive support around both their career and their personal lives. Members have the opportunity to build relationships and a sense of mutual support with other individuals engaged in sex-based work. This group is an inclusive space for people of all gender identities, sexual preferences, and forms of sexual expression. The group meets every Monday at my office in central Austin.
