I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and families, focusing on those tricky adolescent identity phases and major life transitions. Whether your teen is figuring out who they are, you’re struggling to keep up with the changes, or your family just needs a bit of guidance, I’ve got your back. For neurodivergent children and adolescents, this can sometimes mean navigating a world that doesn’t always “get” them, I’m here to help your family not only get it but embrace it.

My approach is straightforward: safety and trust come first. When we’ve got those in place, we can tackle the tricky stuff with curiosity and courage. My background in structural family therapy helps me look at the big picture, meaning I work with each client in the context of their systems — families, schools, communities, etc. Whether it’s helping parents work with their child’s school to support the child’s wellbeing or guiding families through intense life changes, I pull from different therapeutic modalities like somatic therapy, child-centered play, experiential therapy, and more to support you in finding real, lasting change.

Your family doesn’t need one-size-fits-all advice and judgment. You need someone who sees you for who you are and meets you right where you’re at. Let’s dig into the challenges and create more of what works for your family.

I am a born and bred Texas girl hailing from Houston, but I received my B.A. in Neuroscience & Behavior at Columbia University in 2018 before settling down in Austin. While in Austin, I attended St. Edward’s University for my Master’s in Counseling with a focus on marriage and family therapy. I worked as a nanny and tutor throughout my master’s program, which I like to think has well equipped me for helping children and their families learn and grow together.

Outside of session, you can usually find me in the kitchen slaving over an elaborate dessert, crocheting something that will never see the light of day, or forcing my partner to watch trashy reality television with me. If I sound like a good fit for you and your family please reach out, I look forward to working with you!
