Having navigated the legal, entertainment, and technology industries for the past 20+ years, I am acquainted with the mental exhaustion, stress and challenges that come along with the creative and corporate worlds.

My style is an integrative approach, which means I pull from several therapeutic orientations depending on an individual’s needs and situation.  Depth psychology, Attachment Theory and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy are primary methods with an emphasis on a Jungian approach.  Working collaboratively with clients is important and for those looking to go deeper outside of session, I provide additional homework and reading resources.

I am certified in massage therapy and am familiar with how the body responds to the stresses of life.  Therefore, the mind and body connection is another method in my practice.

My background includes working for two large law firms, two major entertainment companies and two large technology companies.  I grew up in Houston and graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in Speech Communications.  After graduation I worked throughout Texas before moving to Los Angeles for 12 years.  In 2008 I returned to Austin, began my graduate degree at St. Edward’s University and embarked on a new career as a therapist.  My life experiences have led me to this place and I am grateful everyday to be of service to others.
