Our therapists offer EMDR therapy in Austin, TX

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and certified personal trainer. I specialize in helping women who feel disconnected from themselves after years of emotional pain, trauma, or body shame. Many of my clients come to me seeking freedom from overthinking, people-pleasing, and patterns of self-abandonment. Together, we explore the wounds beneath these patterns so they can rediscover confidence, emotional safety, and connection with their true selves.

I hold a master’s in social work from Wayne State University. My approach blends evidence-based therapy with holistic practices that honor the mind-body connection. Through eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, somatic awareness, mindfulness, movement, and breathwork, I help clients process emotions, build self-trust, and support nervous system regulation.

You deserve to feel grounded, whole, and at peace within yourself. Healing isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering who you’ve always been beneath the pain. If you’re ready to begin your journey toward reconnection and growth, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

I earned my Master’s in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. I also hold a Bachelor’s in Rehabilitative Services. My background in rehabilitation and counseling allows me to integrate empathy, structure, and strength-based strategies to support each client’s growth and healing journey.

In our sessions, you can expect empathy, respect, and collaboration as we work together toward positive change. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel heard, validated, and supported while building resilience and confidence to live a more balanced and fulfilling life.
