I’m currently an LPC-Associate (supervised by David Schlosz, PhD, LPC-Supervisor, and amazing human being) based in Austin, Texas. I started my master’s studies at Texas State University to become a counselor in 2021 and have been seeing clients for the past two years, but my work in the healing space began well before that. For over 13 years I have been immersed in various yoga practices and trainings, and I taught yoga classes and led guided meditations for several years after obtaining my 200-hour RYT certification.

While nurturing my spiritual and wellness pursuits on the side, I worked full-time as an accountant in the software industry. After nearly a decade in the corporate world, I felt called to pursue something more meaningful—something that tied my personal values, spiritual growth, and professional identity together into a big, beautiful bow—and I found it! I’m deeply moved by the beauty of helping others connect with themselves in a more authentic, embodied way. Counseling, to me, is a sacred invitation for that kind of transformation.

Most modern-day talk therapies are cognitive-based, and while this can be helpful for short-term behavior modifications and symptom relief, I believe that going beyond the mind is a more effective tool to promote healing and implement lasting change. My approach to counseling is definitely influenced by my background in yoga, but I also draw from Gestalt therapy, which is a holistic, experiential modality that emphasizes present-moment awareness and taking ownership of one’s choices. I’m fascinated by Gestalt theory and practice and have plans to begin formal training with the GATLA at the end of 2025.

Outside of the therapy room, I’m a huge music nerd (Weezer’s #1 fan forever!! =w=), gardening & houseplant aficionada, avid yogi, camping enthusiast, and lover of all things comedy (stand up, animated TV, sketch shows, you name it). I strive to show up 100% authentically inside of the therapy room, too, but I choose to do so mostly in the form of presence (you’re not here for small talk!). During our work together, you can expect to be challenged to connect with your body, identify the physical ways in which your emotions are showing up, and even try out some “weird shit” (technical term) from time to time. Growth happens when you expand your comfort zone!
