I am a licensed master level social worker (LMSW) working as a psychotherapist in Austin, Texas under the clinical supervision of Grace Dowd, LCSW-S.  I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Masters in Social Work and have lived in Austin over 20 years.  I have a decade of experience as a special education teacher/coordinator and am a registered yoga teacher (RYT-200) with over 6 years of teaching experience including restorative yoga, prenatal yoga, children’s yoga, Iyengar yoga, and Viniyoga.  Most importantly I am a mom to my 2 teenage sons and my rescue pup.

I specialize in working with women, parents, adolescents, children, people with autism, ADHD, learning differences, and persons who are highly sensitive and neurodivergent with a holistic approach.  I have over 20 years experience working with children, adolescents, and their parents including a decade of experience as a teacher in special education .  I am a registered yoga teacher specializing in Iyengar, restorative, prenatal, children’s yoga, and Viniyoga.  

In my therapeutic work, I draw from various therapeutic approaches including somatic therapy, parts therapy, attachment theory, Cognitive Behavioral therapy as well as focus on codependency, boundaries work, the whole-brain child, Conscious Discipline, non-violent communication, and radical acceptance.  My goal as a therapist is to instill self-compassion and self-acceptance and to guide clients on their own path to healing by connecting and integrating the emotional body with the physical body.
