My Background
I believe that every person has inherent value, and was uniquely made for this Earth. Through my work with clients, I have experienced that most people saw the best in themselves and others, when at some point they were overcome with disappointment, hurt, or other of life’s challenges. These people often find themselves asking, “Who is there to listen without judgment?, or “Who can I tell what happened when I think nobody will understand?” These people want to have a life worth living, but feel like it’s too much to navigate on their own. I am a strong advocate, and can help you advocate for yourself too. I pride myself as a listening ear, a helper, someone to have an open honest dialogue with.
I use Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral techniques mixed with humor and relationship to help people feel well supported and motivated towards their goals.
I was born in England, grew up in Florida, and have made Austin my home the last eight years. I spend my free time learning Spanish and French, playing coed softball and checking out the local coffee shops with my adorable son Jackson and sweet pug Bella.
