What is your treatment background?

I am licensed to practice psychotherapy in Texas and New York. I work with individuals (18+) in-person or via Telehealth in my central Austin office or in New York via Telehealth only. I am a trained EMDR provider and have an extensive background working with trauma in all forms.

Prior to opening my practice in 2018, I worked in community mental health services at Integral Care for seven years. My work focused on providing therapy services for children and adolescents, and their families, who were experiencing frequent acute psychiatric hospitalizations.

I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with both my LBSW (2009) and my LMSW (2011). I completed my graduate degree field practicuum in Cape Town, South Africa, working in a shelter for girls previously living on the street.

Prior to graduating, my experience was primarily in international social work. I was fortunate to practice at several social work agencies in both South Africa and Tanzania, as well as at International High School here in Austin.

What can I expect when we meet?

Sessions typically last 55-60 minutes and typically take place once a week or twice a month, though many clients meet on an “as-needed” basis as well.

You can expect compassion and understanding. Y’all does mean ALL! I am welcoming and affirming of anyone knocking at my door.

What is EMDR?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based psychotherapy that helps people heal from trauma and distressing life experiences.

EMDR helps painful experiences lose their emotional intensity, allowing them to move forward with greater calm, perspective, and resilience. EMDR can be effective for trauma, anxiety, grief, and other challenges.
