Not All Therapy Is the Same — Here’s What Makes Mine Different
You’ve tried therapy before.
Maybe it helped a little. Maybe it felt like a waste of time. You didn’t feel unsafe — you just didn’t feel seen. You left sessions thinking, “I guess that was fine??” but nothing really shifted. No real insight. No lasting change. No one challenged you.
A lot of my clients say their past therapists felt more like emotional notetakers — like they were just nodding along. No real reflection. No depth. Just surface-level stuff and a few vague suggestions.
You wanted real support. What you got felt like advice you could’ve gotten from TikTok.
If that’s you? You’re in the right place.
Let’s Be Real: You’re Not Just Looking for Coping Skills
Coping skills matter. Especially when we're doing deep trauma work. I’ll make sure you have ways to stay grounded, regulated, and safe — both inside and outside of sessions.
But if you’re like most of my clients, you’re already high-functioning. You’ve survived. You know how to power through. That’s not the problem. The problem is you don’t feel alive. You don’t feel like you.
And no worksheet can fix that. That’s why I offer something different — something deeper. The kind of therapy that helps you stop performing and start healing.

What Therapy Looks Like With Me
My approach blends psychodynamic therapy (think: root causes, patterns, attachment) with real relational work — the kind that helps you feel seen in the ways you never were.
We’re not just talking about your week.
We’re making connections between the pressure you feel now and the emotional wounds you never had space to process.
We’re paying attention to how you relate to me in real time — because that’s where the healing starts.
This is therapy for women who are tired of pretending.
Therapy for daughters who became “the strong one” too early.
Therapy for women who are ready to be known.
What Sets Me Apart From Other Therapists in Austin
There are a lot of great therapists in Austin — but not everyone does this kind of work.
I don’t sit back and just validate you. I care too much to let you stay stuck.
I feel with you. I challenge you. I help you connect the dots — and build a relationship that actually helps you feel safe enough to change.
I also bring real training to the table. I’m psychodynamic at the core, but I’m also warm, funny, emotionally attuned, and deeply real.
You’ll feel that in our sessions. You’ll feel me with you — not just watching from the sidelines.

What Happens When It Starts to Work
When this work lands, something shifts.
My clients start setting boundaries without spiraling.
They stop apologizing for having needs.
They cry, laugh, get angry, and feel safe doing it — maybe for the first time in their lives.
They stop “managing” their emotions and start living in them.
They soften. They open up. They come home to themselves.
Some even go back and heal relationships with parents or family — not because they have to, but because they can.
Ready for a Different Kind of Therapy?
You don’t need to be falling apart to need help. You don’t need to be “more broken” to invest in therapy. You just have to want something real.
If you’re ready to feel seen, known, and held — not just managed — then this might be the space for you.
