Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hi! I am a licensed counselor based in Austin, Texas. My style is friendly, focused, and down-to-earth. I aim to be helpful with each individual I work with, and take pride in designing a therapy that will really work for you.
I’ve trained in a variety of approaches and find that virtually all approaches offer something valuable. However, I believe the classic fundamentals of therapy – empathy and a good collaborative therapeutic relationship – are the primary basis for effective therapy and therefore I put a lot of effort into these.
One of my views about life is that it is often asking for various forms of balance: Balancing kindness and strength, tenderness and toughness, openness and clarity, relaxation and alertness. And so in therapy, I always strive to create the right balance for you of supportiveness and challenge.
And, I invite and encourage your candid feedback about the process (and by candid I mean candid – really!) so I can make appropriate adjustments.
Therapy, like life, can be a wonderful adventure and I’m glad for the opportunity to support you in the journey.

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One of the strongest benefits is flexibility. You can connect with a therapist in the way that suits you best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – making it easier to weave support into a busy schedule.
Therapists providing online care are licensed professionals, and if the fit is not quite right, you can switch at any time to find someone who better matches your needs.
