If you are interested in improving your life and relationships
About Me
I specialize in working with adults using a cultural relational model of psychotherapy, which honors the impact of culture, identity, and lived experience in the therapeutic process. In group settings, I take a Modern Analytically Informed Interpersonal Processing approach, creating space for meaningful connection, insight, and growth. I have a particular interest in supporting individuals and couples navigating chronic and catastrophic illness or disability, especially where these challenges intersect with relationship dynamics.
I am also a proud LGBTQIA+ ally and strive to create a welcoming, affirming space for all clients.
Group therapy is a core part of my practice, offering a unique and dynamic space for personal insight and growth. For individuals who struggle with recurring patterns in their interactions, group work provides the opportunity to receive real-time, multi-dimensional feedback on interpersonal style and behavior.
Many clients find that participating in group therapy, either on its own or alongside individual therapy, deepens their self-awareness and accelerates healing. Within the supportive environment of a group, members often discover meaningful connections, increased confidence, and new ways of relating to others.
I am proud to be a Fellow of the American Group Psychotherapy Association and a member of the Austin Group Psychotherapy Society. Devoted to lifelong learning, I have advanced training in Modern Analytic Group leadership and am a graduate of the Center for Group Studies in New York.
