About me
I'm so glad you stopped by! I've spent two decades learning about ways to help people live lives that feel more meaningful and worthwhile, and I'd love to help you too. I know how exhausting it can be sitting in therapy spending part of your session educating your therapist about some aspect of your identity. And even more exhausting when you're already coping with big changes in your life, like living in another country. Creatives, chronically ill folx, geeks, polyamorous people, neurodivergent people, transgender people, non-binary people, the kink/BDSM community, artists, writers...whoever you are, your weird is welcome here (and I probably know something about it).
I speak:
English
Location:
Austin, United States
Approach
Treatment Approaches
ACT: Acceptance and Commitment TherapyRecommended for those who want to stop fighting negative thoughts and learn how to live with more acceptance and focus on what really matters in life.
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Trauma Informed CareRecommended for those who have experienced trauma and need a safe, supportive space to heal at their own pace.
Clients describe me as warm, compassionate, and calming while also playful and practical. Together we can create a collaborative, effective plan that fits your situation, your preferences, and your pace.
