My Approach to Helping

Many people struggle with issues that leave them feeling stuck and unable to live as they desire. I believe that in our struggles we have an opportunity for transformation and change. I can provide the support you need to determine better ways to approach individual difficulties or relationship struggles.

I believe that everyone has a unique way of experiencing the world and I am accepting of a wide-range of life experiences. I place importance on creating a safe, accepting, and empathic therapeutic environment. I seek to find strengths in each individual and relationship and adapt my techniques to fit your needs.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

As a couples therapist, I am trained in Levels I and II of the Gottman Method. You will complete a thorough assessment which will help us determine appropriate goals and focus areas for couples work. I can help you deal with conflict, emotional distance, communication problems, and preparation for marriage or partnership / co-habitation. I also specialize in working with eating disorders, food and body image issues. These issues have been a focus area of my training in therapy since pursuing my Masters degree. I have received additional training, am a member of Austin Eating Disorder Specialists, and I am supervised by Brad Kennington, LMFT-S, LPC-S, Executive Director of Cedar Springs (an eating disorder treatment facility).
