"I know you are tired but come. This is the way." ~ Rumi
Howdy & thank you for taking the time to visit & learn more about therapy with me!
The human experience can be overwhelming.
We all have experienced trauma - whether emotional, mental, physical, relational, or spiritual. We can find healing & our way forward in the safe space of a therapeutic relationship as we learn more about ourselves through genuine, non-judgmental curiosity.
I provide a holistic, integrative approach tailored to your individual needs that can include body work (Somatic Experiencing®), the Existential & Attachment lenses, Ecotherapy, as well as traditional modalities & our good ol’ friends, humor & play.
Learning how to be safely in our body (embodied) - with all our different parts, behaviors, emotions, experiences, memories, sensations & thoughts - can be life-changing. By regulating the nervous system, we can teach your body that you are safe on a cellular level.
I respect & admire your courage to be vulnerable with me & most importantly, with yourself. Rest assured, there's no judgment here - just compassion & curiosity!
Consultation
I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to determine if working together is the right fit. If we decide another therapist might be a better fit for you, I am happy to provide recommendations - Austin has a diverse, vibrant healing community, & finding the right therapeutic relationship makes all the difference!

Fees
Somatic Experiencing® is the theory that trauma is stored in the body. When our emotional, mental, or physical survival is threatened, & we are unable to fight or escape this threat, we become stuck in the freeze state - and unresolved, stored trauma is the result.
Learning to safely process trauma within the body allows us to discharge this traumatic energy & become "unstuck."
