IFS + Existential Therapy
Austin, Texas + Online Across Texas
Maybe you've never quite fit the template.
Maybe you're building a creative life without a roadmap. Living between countries, cultures, or ideas of home. Trying to understand a brain that doesn't always work the way the world expects it to. Or realizing that the life you built no longer fits who you're becoming.
Therapy can be a place to get curious about all of it.
Together, we can slow things down, understand the patterns beneath the surface, and make more room for the parts of you that may have been ignored, misunderstood, or trying very hard to keep everything together.
Not to become a better version of who you think you should be, but to build a life that feels more like your own.
YOU'RE HERE BECAUSE...
Something isn't quite fitting anymore.
Maybe your mind moves faster than the structures around you. Maybe your creative work has become tangled up with your identity or self-worth. Maybe you've spent years moving between cultures, countries, careers, or versions of yourself and you're wondering where, exactly, you belong.
Or maybe nothing is obviously wrong. You just have the sense that the way you've been living, relating, or understanding yourself isn't working anymore.
You don't need to have everything figured out before you begin.

My Approach
I draw primarily from Internal Family Systems (IFS) and existential therapy—two approaches that invite curiosity rather than judgment and help us understand not only what you're struggling with, but what those struggles might be trying to tell you.
Our work can explore the patterns, parts, relationships, and questions shaping your life while making space for greater choice, self-understanding, and a way of living that feels more authentically your own.

IFS is based on the idea that we all contain different parts of ourselves.
There may be a part of you that strives, achieves, and keeps everything together. Another part may feel anxious, overwhelmed, critical, or afraid. Rather than trying to get rid of these parts, Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, sometimes called parts work, helps us understand them with curiosity and compassion.
IFS can be especially useful when exploring ADHD, perfectionism, creative blocks, relationships, identity, and major life transitions—particularly when you understand a pattern intellectually but still find yourself repeating it.
Through IFS-informed therapy, we can develop a deeper relationship with these parts of yourself and create more room for clarity, choice, and lasting change.

At some point, most of us encounter questions that can't be solved with a simple checklist or quick fix.
Who am I? What matters most? What do I want my life to stand for? How do I navigate uncertainty, loss, freedom, and change?
Existential therapy creates space for these conversations. Together, we explore the deeper questions of meaning, purpose, identity, and what it means to live authentically in an imperfect world.
This approach can be especially meaningful during midlife transitions, career changes, relationship endings, creative reinvention, cultural shifts, or periods when the life you've built no longer feels like your own.
-
Many of us spend our lives reacting automatically to old patterns, beliefs, and fears without realizing it.
Mindfulness and self-awareness help us slow down enough to notice what's happening beneath the surface—our thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and familiar reactions. As awareness grows, so does choice.
I integrate mindfulness into therapy as a practical way of becoming more present and curious about your inner experience. This can be especially helpful with ADHD and overwhelm, anxiety, relationship patterns, creative burnout, and periods of transition or uncertainty.
The goal isn't to become perfectly calm. It's to become more aware of what's happening inside you so you have greater freedom in how you respond.

Our earliest relationships can shape the ways we connect with others, navigate conflict, ask for what we need, and experience closeness.
You may find yourself repeating familiar patterns in relationships—struggling with boundaries, fearing abandonment, avoiding vulnerability, becoming anxious when someone pulls away, or feeling caught between wanting connection and protecting yourself from hurt.
Through an attachment-informed approach to therapy, we can explore these patterns with curiosity rather than judgment and better understand how your past relationships may be influencing your present ones.
This work can be particularly meaningful when navigating dating, heartbreak, divorce, changing relationship patterns, or starting over after the end of an important relationship. As awareness grows, new possibilities for connection, trust, and intimacy can emerge.
