About & Approach - 

I guide individuals in Austin, Texas, on the path of healing from complex trauma, trauma-induced stress, and emotional overwhelm. Together, we explore your experiences, reconnecting with the parts of yourself that carry the weight of the past, including childhood wounds that continue to affect your life today.

Having experienced my own healing journey, I deeply understand the power of reconnecting with the parts of yourself that have been hurt, neglected, or silenced. This work is personal to me; it’s a journey I continue to walk as I help others navigate their own. Inspired by Jung’s idea of the "wounded healer," I believe our healing process allows us to guide each other with empathy, grounded presence, and compassion. My passion for this work comes from knowing that healing isn’t just a destination - it’s an ongoing path of transformation requiring patience and self-compassion.

I support individuals in tapping into their inner wisdom and inner intelligence by creating space for them to reconnect with their authentic selves. Through somatic therapy and parts integration, we work together to release old patterns, calm the nervous system, and heal deeply by getting to the root of the issues. Whether you're dealing with the fog of anxiety, the weight of depression, or the remnants of past trauma, we’ll explore and uncover the roots of your struggles and reconnect with the parts of you that need healing.

The journey of healing is uniquely yours, but you don’t have to walk it alone. With compassion and understanding, I’m here to help you rediscover the light that’s always been within, supporting you as you return to wholeness.

Therapeutic Offerings-

I offer a holistic, trauma-informed approach to healing that integrates a variety of evidence-based modalities. This approach is designed to support you in healing from trauma, restoring balance, and reclaiming your personal power. Here’s how we work together:

  • Attachment-Based Therapy: We explore and heal the relational patterns shaped by early attachment experiences, creating a foundation for healthier relationships.

  • Somatic Practices: By tuning into the body, we address trauma stored in the nervous system, helping you restore safety, grounding, and emotional regulation.

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS): This method helps identify and heal fragmented parts of the self, allowing you to integrate and embrace all aspects of who you are.

  • Polyvagal Theory: We work with your nervous system to understand how trauma impacts emotional regulation. By re-regulating your body’s response to stress, we help restore calm and resilience.

  • Mindfulness: Mindfulness practices allow you to stay present, process emotions in real-time, and cultivate compassion, reducing reactivity and promoting healing.

  • Strength-Based Techniques: I believe in your inherent resilience. Together, we’ll identify and amplify your strengths, empowering you to heal and grow with confidence.

  • Psychedelic Preparation & Integration (optional): If you’re interested in exploring psychedelics for healing, I offer preparation and integration support to help you navigate these profound experiences with care and understanding.

Through this integrative approach, I provide a safe, supportive space where you can heal from childhood trauma, emotional overwhelm, anxiety, depression, and more. I’m here to guide you as you tap into your inner power, restore balance, and reclaim your peace.

Who am I -

I’m a therapist and a guide who believes in the power of healing and growth. Originally from Oregon, I’ve always felt a deep connection to nature, and that grounding influence shapes the way I approach my work.

My path to therapy has been deeply shaped by my own experiences. The tools and modalities I use - mindfulness, somatic practices, IFS, and energy work - have had a profound impact on my life, guiding me through healing and growth that I wasn’t sure was possible at that time. That’s why I’m so passionate about sharing these techniques with others. I’ve seen firsthand how they can create lasting change, and I’m dedicated to supporting others in their own healing journeys.

I believe in the concept of the “wounded healer” - that our own challenges can be a source of strength and wisdom. I’m here to walk alongside you, offering support and tools to help you reconnect with your true self and move through life with more peace and purpose.
