I am an LCSW-S, a Licensed Clinical Social Work Supervisor specializing in child, adolescent, and family psychotherapy, with a practice in Austin, Texas.

I worked for 10 years in schools, providing therapy for children, adolescents, and their families.  I have worked in private practice for the past 10 years.  I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and a Master of Science in Social Work. I specialize in interpersonal or relational therapies, working with a broad range of clients. Among my areas of expertise are parent-child relationship concerns, anxiety and depression in children and adolescents, trauma, grief and loss, play therapy and attachment issues with young children.  I am a certified EMDR therapist and hold an additional accreditation as an EMDR Child Specialist from The AGATE Institute.  I am also a Board Approved Supervisor for LMSW’s seeking their LCSW.

You’ll find my therapy style to be warm and accepting, also fun and playful.  I enjoy being interactive with my clients and have a relational focus. My therapeutic approach is to provide support and guidance so that kids and families can better manage life’s challenges.  I integrate different therapeutic techniques based on what the client or family is seeking from therapy. With compassion and understanding, I work with each person to help him/her build on their strengths.
