M Y B A C K G R O U N D
I hold a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica. I have been in private practice here in Austin counseling since 2006 and absolutely love it. I have experience working in academic counseling with university students and at a non-profit mental health agency. Before becoming a therapist, I worked for twenty years in television and the music business.

It is my heartfelt desire to assist you in connecting with your authentic self and rediscovering a deep sense of well being. I am empathic, spiritual, thoughtful, interactive, and dedicated to your deepest healing. I provide counseling in Austin and work with individuals and couples, empowering them to create loving, healthy relationships. I practice a blend of techniques, including EMDR, Gestalt, Person Centered, NLP, Somatic Experiencing and Spiritual Psychology. I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship and marriage issues, grief recovery, and low self esteem.
