I have worked for over 12 years as a psychotherapist in a wide variety of clinical settings - non-profits, community clinics, university counseling centers, & group practice - in Chicago, Southern California, New York, and now Texas. I have experience working with individuals, couples, groups, mind/body workshops, and retreats.  At this time, I am only working with individuals, but I will update my Services here as needed.  I continue to engage in trainings and training groups that emphasize depth-oriented, experiential, and somatic approaches to therapy.  And I maintain state licensure in both Texas and New York.  

I really enjoy being a therapist, and consider it an honor to witness the transformation I see in my clients.  I believe in 'doing the work,’ and not just for others.  My own journey with therapy has shaped my personal and professional identity, allowing me to sit with a firsthand understanding of the courage this takes and deep empathy for the process.  Prior to this career, I worked for over a decade in community organizing and public policy, focusing on urban housing and immigration. I also have experience as a challenge course instructor, facilitating adventure-based learning experiences on high and low ropes courses. I am a certified yoga instructor and bring breath and body techniques to session when relevant.  I have experience teaching yoga at several of my psychotherapy sites over the years and am considering teaching a class again in the Austin area.
