About
Okay, by now you’ve read through my website a bit and you know what I’m all about when it comes to counseling- trauma therapy, building authentic therapeutic relationships and helping individuals and couples work through all the ways that life experiences have caused pain, strains and challenges.
Now I’d love to tell you a little about myself, so you know who’s sitting across from you when you share your story.
I’m someone who people would describe as direct, kind, and (hopefully) funny. I have a deep love for adventure, nature, close friends and animals. I feel very passionately and deeply about the things that matter to me and love to express myself through a variety of creative outlets. The things that drive and motivate me are the incredible people in my life including the clients that I have the privilege of working with.
I was born and raised in Austin Texas, received my M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I began my career in research where I studied the effects of PTSD, transitioning into forensic psychology where I worked with the court systems. Eventually, my husband and our beloved pets Harper and Eli (pictured, thank you, I know) and I packed up and moved to Asheville, North Carolina. While I loved living in Asheville and lived for the incredible wildlife, mountains, hiking, fishing and culture, I was eventually called back to Austin Texas to be closer to family. Today, I split my time between Austin and Asheville, taking every opportunity I can to explore amazing hiking trails, nature and people across the United States and abroad.
I founded SF Counseling & Wellness PLLC because I wanted to create a counseling practice that goes beyond sitting, nodding and validating without getting to the heart of the problem. While validation is an essential part of the therapeutic process, lasting change often comes from understanding the deeper patterns that affect us day to day. I wanted to create a space where we could do that work together. I genuinely love my work and enjoy blending humor, research, science and the art of counseling while helping people better understand themselves and create meaningful change.
As I’m sure you can tell by now, I pour a great deal of myself into my work. I also understand how the constant drive to do more, achieve more and care for everyone else can turn into a double-edged sword. This is one of the reasons I’m passionate about working with the clients that I do. I can relate to how incredible it can feel to take on more and more and also, how that can quickly lead to feeling drained and trapped by anxiety, self-criticism, difficulties with boundaries all while trying to keep loved ones happy.
My goal is to offer a space where you can simply exist-where you can authentically explore who you are, reconnect with yourself, and feel understood without judgement. Together, we’ll make sense of the experiences that have shaped you, uncover the patterns that no longer serve you, and help you build a life that feels more connected, intentional, and genuinely your own.
