I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Austin, Texas. As a psychotherapist, I seek to integrate my own experiences and background into my work as a Counselor. After a 2-year detour into nursing college, my own transformative therapy propelled me into St. Edward’s University to gain my M.A. in Counseling to become a psychotherapist. I served my post-graduate internship at IPNB Psychotherapy of Austin (Juliane Taylor-Shore) and the community mental health clinic Capital Area Counseling. Through the fantastic community of therapists in Austin, I’ve developed specific interests in group therapy, developmental trauma therapy, and neurobiology. Because of my own relationship with physicality, I believe in the power of the mind-body connection. In 2016, I completed a 200-Hr.-yoga teacher training from Black Swan Yoga. Over the years, through travel and friends, I’ve nurtured an interest in non-traditional and non-Western forms of psychology, including Vipassana meditation and the therapeutic use of psychedelics. I strive to understand how my culture and class inform my perspective and how I can best serve those with backgrounds different from my own.
