About My Work
Many of the clients I work with feel pressure to hold everything together for others while quietly struggling with self-doubt, people-pleasing, or a harsh inner-critic. When thoughts about food, your body, or being “good enough” start taking up more space than you would like them to, it can feel exhausting. Therapy offers a chance to step outside of that pressure and reconnect with what really matters to you.
I am particularly drawn to working with college students and young adults navigating relationships, identity, and the pressures and uncertainty of early adulthood. I also enjoy working with teens and will always do my best to keep up with the latest lingo (although I make no promises that I’ll use it correctly). Regardless of your age, opening up to someone new can feel awkward and intimidating, and I don’t expect you to trust me right away just because I’m your therapist. That’s something I hope to earn as we get to know each other.
What You Can Expect in Our Sessions
My approach is warm, direct, collaborative, and occasionally lightened by humor. I care deeply about creating an environment where you can show up as your authentic self without feeling like you have to have all the answers. Some of our sessions might focus on learning practical tools to help shift unhelpful thinking patterns, whereas others might involve slowing down and exploring the beliefs that have shaped how you see yourself and the world around you. Wherever our work takes us, we’ll approach it with curiosity and figure things out together.

A Little About Me
I believe a supportive therapeutic relationship can be incredibly powerful. As someone with lived experience in eating disorder recovery, I know how meaningful it is to have a space where you feel genuinely understood and supported. Because of that, I really value the relationships I build with my clients and consider it a privilege to sit alongside people as they reconnect with themselves and build lives that feel more fulfilling.
I grew up in Houston and lived in the Netherlands and North Carolina before settling down in Austin. Outside of the therapy room, you can find me hiking, painting, hunting down the best matcha in Austin, or taking the scenic route with my senior dog, Mason
