EMDR and support for cancer, chronic illness, and life changes.
In person in Austin and Lakeway · Online in Texas and Virginia
You don’t have to know exactly what you need before we begin. Maybe you’re dreading the next scan, carrying a difficult medical experience, or finding that life after treatment doesn’t feel the way you expected.
I bring my clinical training and lived experience with cancer to this work. We start with where you are and choose a pace that fits your health, energy, and life. Together, we focus on progress—not perfection.
Medical care can leave you carrying more than others can see: fear before a scan, exhaustion from chronic illness, grief, or an old experience that still feels close.
We start with what is hardest now and what you have room for today. You don’t have to hold it all together to begin.
When your body feels like it’s working against you, life can feel heavy, lonely, and exhausting.
When pain comes from events or relationships that hurt instead of help, healing can feel complicated.
When medical care leaves you feeling powerless, it can be hard to trust yourself — or the system — again.
Support for worry, uncertainty, and transitions that affect your health, relationships, and daily life.
When you're mourning a loved one or the loss of a version of yourself, we hold space for the complexity of grief and help you move through it with compassion and meaning.
Support through diagnosis, treatment, and life after cancer, at a pace that fits your health and energy.
One size does not fit all. I draw from EMDR, parts work, and body-based practices, depending on what you need and what feels manageable.
Some sessions focus on finding steadiness before a medical appointment. Others make room to work with a distressing memory or a relationship pattern. We decide together, check in, and adjust the pace. Compare regular sessions and EMDR intensives.
Individual therapy offers ongoing support, space to check in, and room to make steady progress over time.
An EMDR intensive offers focused time in one or more longer sessions. We decide together whether this format fits your goals, readiness, and current capacity, with room for careful pacing and closure.
“She strikes a rare balance of clinical professionalism and genuine warmth, creating a safe, nonjudgmental space tailored to whatever I needed that day.”
