Chances are, if you made it here it is because you or a loved one are ready for a change. Perhaps you want to create deeper connections, work through a challenging time, or are seeking to improve your mental wellbeing. My goal as your therapist is to be there for you through the ups and down of life and empower you, propelling you towards your most desired life outcomes.
Life can be exceptionally challenging, and present-day circumstances demand a lot of responsibility. Therapy provides a scared space amidst the chaos of the outside world.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in the reverence to the collaborative relationship between therapist and client. I believe that relationships, in all forms, are one of the keys determiners in moving through life with clarity, grace, and security.
Connecting traditional evidence-based psychotherapy with my awareness of holistic health, I desire to help you break through limiting beliefs and cultivate a life that is authentic to you. You are the expert of your life, and I aim support you, wherever you’re at in your unique journey through life.

A little about me
Originally from the east coast of Florida, I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Florida and completed my Master’s degree in Marital and Family Therapy at Nova Southeastern University. I recently moved to Texas to embrace all the amazing things Austin has to offer.
Outside of the therapy room, you can find me enjoying the live music scene, exploring nature trails, spending quality time with friends and family, trying new restaurants, and taking care of my body via gym or yoga. I love trying new things and getting know others. And just as much as I like to be outside, I enjoy the comfort of my home, embracing slow mornings and nights with my sweet pet.
