About Me...

 

Welcome and thank you for taking the time to peruse my site. To virtually introduce myself, I am a child, adolescent, and adult therapist practicing in Austin, TX at Austin Family Counseling.

I am originally from Texas, but I moved to South Carolina in 2004 to attend undergrad at Furman University. I graduated in 2008, majoring in both Sociology and Religion. Since then, I have completed a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and graduated from Mercer University in May 2014. While in school, I completed an internship at Safepath Children's Advocacy Center in Marietta, GA practicing play therapy with children who have experienced sexual abuse. I also started in private practice with TRU Integrative Health and Wellness in Atlanta in 2013. After two years there, I moved back to my home state and landed here in Austin where I joined Austin Family Counseling in 2016.

 

Since starting in private practice in 2013, I’ve had the pleasure of working with a wide range of clients from children to teens to young adults, parents, and couples.

 

As a therapist, it is my belief that each individual child or adult has the innate power within themselves to grow. I love having a job that means I can be along for the ride as clients learn more about themselves and decide how to work towards a more meaningful, happy, and fulfilling life. I never profess to be an expert on any individual, seeing as we each have a unique set of experiences in life. Instead, I just feel grateful to assist and support clients on their own personal growth journey.
