Online & In-Person (Austin, TX) treatment for Dissociation, Anxiety & Non-Ordinary States
Specializing in depersonalization/derealization, identity concerns and integrative depth work.
Welcome—I'm glad you're here.
Thank you for visiting and for bringing your curiosity. My hope is that the words you find here offer a felt sense of whether working together may be a meaningful fit for where you are in your life right now.
I offer depth-oriented psychotherapy for individual adults across Texas and Wisconsin—online and in person from my Austin (West Lake) office. I work with insightful, often high-performing people who spend much of their lives navigating complex inner worlds: thinking, analyzing, striving, and managing. Many quietly long for something more—greater authenticity, emotional depth, and a steadier sense of connection to themselves and others.
​
My clients frequently come to therapy with experiences of dissociation, depersonalization/derealization (DPDR), chronic self-evaluation, identity concerns, or feeling unanchored in moments of stress or transition. Others seek a therapist who can sit with transpersonal or non-ordinary experiences, such as integrating a formative or transformative Near-Death Experience (NDE), and help them make meaning of how these moments shape identity, purpose, and presence.
​
My approach is warm, relational, and grounded in contemporary psychoanalytic thought—particularly the self-states model described by Philip Bromberg. I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), clinical hypnosis (hypnotherapy), EMDR, and RO-DBT to support clients in developing internal flexibility, unblending from protective parts, and cultivating a more embodied connection with their emotional life. Drawing from both professional training and my own early-life NDE and recovery from dissociation, I offer a depth-oriented, non-pathologizing space to explore the layers of the self that long to be understood.
Whether you’re seeking relief from distressing symptoms, hoping to deepen your self-awareness, or wanting to enhance your performance and effectiveness without losing authenticity, our work can help you shift from over-analysis into genuine connection—with yourself, with others, and with the life you’re ready to inhabit more fully.
Fragmented or disconnected from your sense of self? Stuck in observer mode or lost your Inner Compass? Together we may deepen your awareness, nourish your whole being, and cultivate transformative solutions to challenges.
We begin where you are...
You are the expert on your own experience. My role is to help guide you in unraveling the intricate patterns, beliefs, narratives, internal strife, and deep-seated psychological frameworks—known as schemas, or recurring thought patterns that shape your experience—that hinder your path to a unified and empowered self. By engaging in relational psychotherapy and applying Internal Family Systems (IFS) principles, our collaboration aims to foster profound self-awareness and innovative strategies for healing past traumas, enhancing presence, and mastering the art of self-relation and interpersonal dynamics. As you explore or clarify your identity and experiment with novel approaches within the secure bounds of our therapeutic alliance, you may witness the emergence of a more genuine and adept version of yourself. This transformation invites a pathway to a life of greater fulfillment—the life you aspire to lead.
