Background + Experience

I have my Bachelor’s in Social Work and Master’s in Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin. Prior to working for myself, I worked in the non-profit sector serving youth and adults in the immigration system, education, child welfare, hospice, and community mental health. I’m autism and PDA informed (pathological demand avoidance/pervasive driver autonomy).

I’m certified a certified clinical service provider for ADHD, the diagnosis that brought me to this work and sparked my interest in complex and multiple diagnosis cases. I am also exposure response prevention (ERP), prolonged exposure (PE), and habit reversal training (HRT) trained. I support OCD, anxiety, phobia, and neurodivergent clients with diagnosis specific care. I also support these clients with loss and grief, PTSD and C-PTSD, life transitions, self-esteem issues, and skills for healthy relationships.

My lived experience includes my ADHD and my neurodiverse family. I strive to be an inclusive therapist and stay in regular training and consultation about providing the best possible care for LGBTQIA+ individuals and people of color.

I am a lifelong learner and often double the required training hours I must complete to maintain my license to practice, so if we work together for a long time you can expect variety in skills and new education to support your goals.
