Senior Therapist
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Austin, Texas. In my work as a therapist, I provide person centered, strengths-based services intended to meet clients where they are in their healing process. My approach to therapy is eclectic and incorporates multicultural, psychodynamic, and narrative modalities as well as CBT and mindfulness interventions. I have experience working with adolescents and adults in community based mental health agencies and clinics as well as in university mental health settings. My clinical areas of expertise and focus include working with survivors of trauma, healthy relationships, self compassion, body image, anxiety, and depression. I would describe my therapeutic approaches as collaborative with a focus on building safe and inclusive spaces in which clients can be curious and assertive. I believe in the importance of choice to establish a foundation on which clients can engage in therapy as their authentic selves and I value humor and transparency along the way.
