"What happened to you wasn't your fault, but your healing is your responsibility." - Gabor Maté

About Me

I believe at the core of every individual are the potential building blocks for resiliency. This is my guiding principle for the therapy work I do. If you feel that this is the right time to start or continue on your healing journey, then you've come to the right place. 

I provide a safe and confidential space for adolescents, young adults, families, parents and adults up to 50. The therapeutic process is a unique opportunity to be listened to and heard in a non-judgmental environment. It’s a valuable experience where you will gain insights and learn strategies to better understand your feelings, your strengths, your triggers and your goals. I am an advocate for your individual well-being and for the relationships you have with yourself, your family, your friends and your community. My clients are people who are working to find the best path forward for themselves despite circumstances and/or life events beyond their control. It’s a personal choice how you live your life, and blaming your past becomes a distraction from your future. Healing is your responsibility, and growth is your decision. My commitment is to honor and value your time, effort and energy and to always show up for and follow through for your goals. 

Experience

I have worked with children, adolescents, families and young adults in Austin since 1996 in various settings. My office is at Boutique Educational Services (BES) in Austin which provides personalized 1:1 instruction for Executive Functioning and academic coaching, speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, home-school support, and parent-school support and advocacy. Before BES, I worked as the Senior Clinical Social Worker at The Adolescent Medicine Clinic at Dell Children’s Medical Group. I was part of the Integrated Behavioral Health team at UT Dell Medical School’s Dept. of Health Social Work. I have also worked as a Clinical Social Worker in the ER at St. David’s North Austin Medical Center, with Williamson County schools as a school-based Mental Health Counselor and with The Christi Center as the Coordinator of School-Based Services. I began my career as a Special Education teacher (providing inclusion, resource and SCORES) for 13 years with the Austin Independent School District.
