Clients present with many concerns, including depression, anxiety, substance abuse, trauma, and relationship issues to name a few. Everyone experiences emotional ups and downs, successes and failures. However, when one is stuck in the "downs" and the "failures" we may feel overwhelmed, anxious & depressed. Often one turns to unhealthy coping such as alcohol and drugs, eating, compulsive behaviors - shopping and exercising, isolation or avoidance. Untangling the unique threads of your life; and understanding how they affect you can be the beginning to feeling more in charge and living according to your values and desires. While I have expertise in utilizing multiple evidence based treatment interventions including EMDR, CBT, ACT and Mindfulness my primary approach is attachment based experiential psychotherapy. Our emotional and psychological pain is often rooted in relationships; therefore focusing on healing within the context of relationship can be very effective. My clients have described me as calming, warm, empathetic and compassionate. I do my best to create a safe and secure space for you to explore yourself -- and at your own pace. This is your work and I hope to be your trusted guide. I am centrally located in Austin Texas.
