Difficult life transitions can lead to depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Sometimes we all need some help.

Individual Therapy
“The quality of relationships determines the quality of our lives.” —Esther Perel
I specialize in helping adults who are working through difficult life transitions and find themselves struggling with depression, anxiety, or loneliness. I often work with high-functioning Gen-Z students and Millennial professionals and creatives. Here are some of the issues many of my clients are facing:
Struggling to navigate relationships after a recent move to Austin or Texas
Going through a painful break-up or divorce
Feeling lonely and wanting more connection and a sense of belonging
Battling a “quarter-life crisis” or other life transition
Questioning purpose despite accomplishing professional and personal ambitions
Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, stressed out, and in survival mode
Wanting to make changes, but being unsure where to start
I take a humanistic, compassionate approach and know that we all encounter deep emotional pain and loss. Sometimes we all need a little help. It’s how we make meaning and grow from emotional pain that can be fulfilling and empowering. In sessions, we’ll use humor and creativity to explore self-compassion and vulnerability.
Addiction Counseling
Addiction is a disease of isolation. Our brains use substances to feel different, cope with loss, and survive trauma. Addictive patterns and behaviors exist in all of us. Substance abuse can affect anyone regardless of race, gender, or socioeconomic class.
I take an integrative approach in treating addiction by focusing on healthy body, mind, spirit, and connection with others. I take a nonjudgmental approach in recovery work and recognize that it is a personal choice to decide if reduction or sobriety is the right path for you. I have also witnessed the awesome transformation clients have experienced with the freedom of living a life of sobriety. I am inspired and honored to support their healing from addiction.
Gottman Coaching
“The greatest gift a couple can give their baby is a loving relationship.” —John Gottman
As a Certified Gottman Educator, I specialize in helping expecting parents strengthen their relationship before the arrival of their child. I utilize specific skills from “And Baby Makes Three: The Six-Step Plan for Preserving Marital Intimacy and Rekindling Romance After Baby Arrives” to prepare couples for one of the most incredible and challenging times of welcoming a baby into the family. Please note, this is not couples therapy—it is short-term, directive coaching over the course of several weeks.
