Launching teletherapy in New York this March
I am happy to share that I will be offering teletherapy to New York residents starting this spring. I look forward to bringing inclusive, trauma-informed care to more people and providing the specialized support the community deserves.
Healing Rooted in Dignity and Resilience
Embodied Psychotherapy, PLLC
I provide a welcoming and compassionate space where you can explore the parts of your life that feel heavy or stuck. My practice is built on the belief that when you feel safe and accepted, healing begins to happen naturally. I am here to honor your worth and help you find a path forward.
Seeing the Person, Not the Diagnosis
My Philosophy
I believe that every person has inherent value that never needs to be proven or earned. Using the Power Threat Meaning Framework, I look beyond standard labels and diagnoses to understand how your environment and life experiences have shaped your mental health. We will focus on your resilience and how you have learned to survive, rather than just looking at what is wrong.
Connecting Mind and Body
My Approach
My work brings together proven methods like EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Somatic Experiencing. By connecting what is happening in your mind with what is happening in your body, I help you process trauma and resolve the physical patterns your nervous system has held onto for years. This approach helps you move from just surviving to truly living.
A Partnership Built on Trust
My Commitment to You
As a trauma survivor and a therapist in recovery, I am dedicated to providing a space that is inclusive and culturally responsive. I actively work to challenge and unlearn restrictive treatment models that often do more harm than good. Our partnership is built on complete transparency, safety, and mutual respect.
Support for Every Body and Identity
Inclusive Care
I provide a supportive and affirming environment for all gender identities, sexualities, and relationship structures. My practice also follows Health at Every Size (HAES) principles. I want to help you develop a compassionate relationship with your body while learning to honor its internal wisdom.
A holistic approach to healing and growth
Focusing on the whole person rather than just managing symptoms
I
believe that healing is more than just the absence of distress. It is about building a deep, compassionate connection with yourself. At Embodied Psychotherapy, I move away from models that focus strictly on a clinical diagnosis. Instead, we work together to explore how your history, your physical experiences, and the world around you have shaped who you are. I have found that when safety and acceptance are established, healing happens naturally as you reclaim your voice and your sense of self.
Relational and science-based trauma therapy
Healing the past to find peace today
I combine relational care with modern neuroscience to help you find emotional balance. Using tools like EMDR and Brainspotting, we process trauma and childhood neglect to see how family dynamics or life stressors have impacted your nervous system and your ability to feel safe in your own skin.
Healing starts when you reconnect with your inner strength and resilience.
Somatic Experiencing and trauma-informed movement
Learning to listen to what your body is telling you
Trauma often stays in the body as physical tension long after a crisis has passed. I use specialized yoga and Somatic Experiencing to help your mind and body work together again. Through movement and sensory awareness, we can calm your nervous system and release stored stress to help you feel more balanced.
Your body remembers the story. Together, we create a safe space to let it be told and transformed.
Internal Family Systems and 'parts' work
Finding harmony and compassion within yourself
I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you understand the different parts of your personality, like the anxious perfectionist or the one who tries to please everyone. By building a kind relationship with these internal roles, you can lead your life from a place of calm, curiosity, and clarity.
Every part of you has a reason for being there, and every part is welcome here.
Body compassion and eating disorder care
Trusting your internal wisdom over external standards
My work with eating disorders and body image is grounded in the Health at Every Size (HAES) framework. I will help you build a relationship with food and movement that honors your own needs rather than external rules. We focus on health goals that prioritize your dignity and well-being, regardless of your size.
You do not have to prove your worth to be part of a safe and supportive community.
Practice Resources & Clinical Information
Everything you need to know for our work together.
I have gathered these resources to make sure our work together is as clear and easy to navigate as possible. Below, you will find detailed information regarding my clinical services, your rights as a patient under the No Surprises Act, and the administrative forms we need to get started.

How We Heal at Embodied Psychotherapy
A whole-person approach to emotional and physical well-being
I
believe therapy is most effective when we look at your whole life rather than just a list of symptoms. My approach is exploratory and intuitive, guided by the Power Threat Meaning Framework (PTMF). This perspective honors how the world around you and the personal meanings you've created shape your mental health. Instead of focusing on labels or diagnoses, I provide a space where you can explore your history with dignity and build the tools you need to navigate life with confidence and self-compassion.
Trauma and Somatic Healing
Processing your past to find peace in the present
I use relational therapy alongside specialized methods like EMDR and Somatic Experiencing© to help you work through complex trauma and childhood neglect. This approach addresses how your body holds on to past experiences, helping your brain and nervous system find a sense of balance again.
Healing happens when your body finally feels safe enough to let go of the past.
Relationships and Intimacy
Building trust and connection
Strong relationships are built on trust, respect, and clear communication. I offer specialized Psychosexual Therapy to help you work through the psychological barriers that get in the way of connection, helping you restore a sense of harmony in your personal life.
Repairing a relationship starts with learning new skills and practicing true acceptance.
Eating Disorder Recovery
Compassionate care for your relationship with food
Using a Health at Every Size (HAES) approach, I help you build a more peaceful relationship with food and your body. Whether you are dealing with Anorexia, ARFID, or other concerns, we focus on honoring your body’s internal wisdom rather than being controlled by weight or size.
We focus on your body's actual needs rather than arbitrary weight-related goals.
Addiction and Behavior Change
Breaking cycles and reclaiming your life
In our work together, we identify the specific triggers and the 'why' behind your compulsions. By understanding how your brain's reward system is responding, we can develop practical, personalized strategies to help you manage urges and maintain lasting change.
Recovery is about taking back your power from cycles that no longer serve you.
Trauma-Informed Yoga
Calming the nervous system
This practice blends yoga techniques with psychotherapy to help soothe a stressed nervous system. By focusing on how specific movements feel in the body, we help your brain regain a sense of control over your thoughts and physical sensations.
Yoga brings a gentle alertness to the mind while helping the nervous system settle.
A Path to Healing and Feeling Whole Again
Inclusive trauma therapy for clients in Austin and throughout Texas.
I provide a space where you can actually feel safe while we work through the things holding you back. My approach combines real human connection with proven methods like EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and Somatic Experiencing. Together, we will process past trauma and navigate big life changes in a way that feels true to who you are. Whether you are breaking old family patterns, managing the pressure of high expectations, or just looking for a way forward, I am here to support you with respect and real understanding.
