"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! 

For additional information, please see the About section at the top of the page.

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 & compassion. 

I provide a holistic, integrative approach tailored to your individual needs that can include Somatic work, 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, experiences, memories, feelings, & thoughts can be life-changing.

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 20-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!

Somatic Experiencing® is a 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."
