Psychotherapy & Clinical Hypnosis for Dissociation (Depersonalization/Derealization), Performance Enhancement, and Near-Death Experience Integration
Cultivating deeper self-awareness, emotional presence, and the inner freedom to thrive in relationships, career and purpose.

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.
