You’re the one who keeps it all together, until you can’t.

You've spent your life being capable, strong, the one others lean on. You know how to push through and how to appear like your fine.

But you're tired and feeling the weight of it all. You’re shutting down without warning, zoning out, or snapping and then pulling away in shame. You doubt yourself even when things are going well. Your emotions hit too hard and/or don't come at all. Rest feels impossible or pointless.

These aren’t flaws in you. This is what happens when a nervous system has been carrying too much for too long.

You don't have to keep pretending. And you don't have to figure this out alone.

Who works with me

People who live with anxiety that never quiets. Who feel shut down, numb, or disconnected from themselves. Who struggle with shame, perfectionism, or the exhaustion of always putting others first. Who are living with the long-term effects of trauma and who may have been in therapy before and felt like something was still missing.

You've developed extraordinary ways of surviving and they made sense when you learned them. Our work together is about expanding what's possible while helping you live more authentically.

What our work together looks like

As a trauma therapist in Austin, Texas, I work with adults navigating anxiety, CPTSD, and dissociation rooted in childhood and developmental trauma.

We will move slowly. This kind of work isn't linear and there's no rushing. What changes over time is what you bring with you when you return to hard experiences. You will have more awareness, more choice, more of yourself.

I work integratively, drawing from EMDR, Parts Work (IFS, Ego States Therapy), Mindfulness, and Interpersonal Neurobiology. I don’t use a formula, I responded to what you need at the time. Integrative therapy is particularly effective for experiences that resist talk therapy alone. The relationship between us is part of the work itself, not just a container for it.

I have specialized training in dissociation and developmental trauma, and I welcome clients who have felt too complex, too much, or too hard to understand in other therapeutic spaces.

Working with an EMDR therapist in Austin

I offer trauma therapy in person in Austin and via telehealth across Texas. I warmly welcome neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, and ethically non-monogamous clients.

If you've been searching for an EMDR therapist in Austin who understands complex trauma, dissociation, and the particular exhaustion of holding everything together for everyone else you may have just found the right space.

A free 20-minute consultation is a chance to ask questions, get a feel for how I work, and find out together whether this might be the right fit.
