You are coming to therapy because life has gotten harder.

You function well and are often high achieving. You are the kind of person who always figures things out. Then a transition arrives: a new relationship, a career shift, a baby, a move, a divorce, children leaving home, perimenopause, parents needing support. And suddenly the ways you’ve always been able to function aren’t enough anymore. You’re feeling irritable, disconnected, grieving a version of yourself you can’t find anymore. And you’re asking: “Why can’t I do this anymore? What’s wrong with me?”

What we usually discover together is that you were never just managing stress. You were also adapting to early life experiences that asked too much of you, and doing it so well, for so long, that you’re burning out.

You don’t have to keep pretending you’re fine.

WHO I WORK WITH

Complex Trauma & Childhood Neglect

Many of my clients are adults, including many who are neurodivergent, diagnosed or not, living with the long term effects of childhood experiences that were never acknowledged or named. They’ve spent years being capable and strong, often working twice as hard just to keep up, and are only now beginning to understand what that cost them. If you’re navigating anxiety, CPTSD, emotional dysregulation, or the particular exhaustion of always holding it together, you may have found the right space.

Dissociative Disorders & DID

If you have a DID diagnosis, or a growing sense that one fits, and haven’t yet found a therapist in Texas who truly understands dissociative experience - you don’t need to convince me. I specialize in dissociative disorders, have ongoing training with lived experience clinicians, and use EMDR adapted specifically for dissociative systems. I know that disbelief about your own experience is normal, not a reason to question whether you deserve this kind of care.

I warmly welcome neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, and ethically non-monogamous clients.

WHAT I BRING

I’m an EMDR trained trauma therapist in Texas with specialized experience in developmental trauma, dissociation, and parts work. I work integratively drawing from EMDR, IFS and Ego States Therapy, Mindfulness, and Interpersonal Neurobiology, and I respond to what you need in the moment rather than following a formula.

I consult and train with lived experience educators in both dissociation and neurodivergence, which means my understanding is grounded in what it’s actually like to live it — not just read about it.

The relationship between us is part of the work itself. The experience of being genuinely seen, not managed or analyzed, is often where the most significant shifts begin.

I see clients in person in Austin and across Texas via telehealth.
