Before I was a therapist, I was a social worker. Before that, I studied languages and literature and considered going into academia. I value the roundabout path I took to this work; my mentor in graduate school told me, “A breadth of experience expands our understanding and makes us better therapists.”
Getting to see the variety in people's experiences has been the foundation of what I do. I have helped people transition out of incarceration, talked with people about patterns in their work lives and love lives, and helped people just get the lights turned back on.
I rely on my education and training, but I rely even more on my experience and the range of people who have shared some of their lives with me in nearly 20 years of this work.
Let's talk about where to begin.
I provide talk therapy to individual adults. I see clients one day a week in person in north central Austin.
I do tele-therapy with clients located anywhere in Texas or California.
I talk with a lot of people who identify as LGBT or queer, though I also welcome straight folks!
I work with people on the basis of the understanding that problems in living have a lot in common and talking helps.
I don't talk much about mental health diagnoses, which I believe are fine as a rough way of getting a handle on a problem, but rarely get under the rock of your reasons.
I don’t give homework unless you’re really into it.
I don't have an intro video and am ambivalent about having a website. I'm better at therapy than marketing.
I find a lot of people who come to me are a few years out of college and figuring out what's next.
My knowledge of programming ends at putting things in italics in html but I talk to a lot of people who work in tech.
Happily, though through no design or virtue of my own, my practice has included a lot of first-generation Americans.
I enjoy working as a therapist's therapist.
Email (click the "contacts" tab) is my preferred way for you to get in touch with me.
The phone is a slightly more iffy way to reach me: (512) 790-0678
If you are in crisis, please call 911 as I am not always able to respond immediately.
