  • I currently see individual therapy clients Monday - Thursday from 10am - 3pm.

    I facilitate a BIPOC/Multiracial therapy group in the evening on Thursdays and I offer movement and meditation groups on Sundays.

  • I offer both! I offer virtual therapy (telehealth) for any resident of Texas and in-person therapy for those in Austin, located off of W. Koenig Lane and Burnet Road.

  • Somatic therapy is a body-centered approach to healing that helps you connect with your physical sensations, emotions, and nervous system. It gently supports you in processing stress, trauma, and stuck patterns through movement, breath, and awareness. This therapy can help you feel more grounded, present, and in tune with yourself.

    Sessions will look a lot like traditional talk therapy—sharing thoughts, feelings, and what's been going on in your life while also gently bring in body awareness, noticing sensations, breath, posture, or tension as they arise. You might be invited to pause, breathe, move, or explore what your body is communicating, helping you process experiences not just through words, but through deeper mind-body connection.

  • If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please do so at least 24 hours ahead of your scheduled time by phone or email. Cancellations, no shows, or reschedules made with less than 24 hours notice or no-shows will be charged a $75 fee.
