My primary goal as a therapist is to create an environment that welcomes safety, authenticity, and vulnerability. As we create a strong therapeutic relationship, you will always be met with warmth, humor, and an empathetic ear. Whether you are looking to process grief, overcome traumatic experiences, manage stress, or simply develop healthier habits, the therapeutic space will always be tailored to your specific needs. With the use of trauma-informed, mindfulness-based strategies, you will increase your capacity to manage difficult emotions, remain regulated through challenging circumstances, and feel more in control of your life. With me, therapy is an adventure. As you take the lead, I will join as a confidant and partner, offering support as you face challenges with openness and curiosity. Through narrative, strength-based approaches, I will encourage you to see beauty in the parts of your story that have gone unexplored.

As someone who is constantly amazed and inspired by human capacity, I believe that with time, patience, and attention we are able to witness the healing of even our deepest wounds. So, let's be curious together because sometimes the most challenging pieces of our story simply need to be acknowledged before they can be understood. I am originally a Virginia girl with a heart for New Orleans – the magical city that I previously called home. Previously, I worked for a public health organization providing trauma-informed services to the New Orleans community – an invaluable experience deepening my passion for this field. Outside of the therapy space, as a self-proclaimed foodie and curious explorer, I spend my free time trying new things and making my mark on the Austin food scene. To stay grounded, I enjoy practicing yoga, spending time in nature, and of course – attempting to create masterpieces in my own kitchen.
