Clinical Social Work-Therapist, LCSW Clinical Social Work Supervisor

Providing supervision to early-career professionals has been a vital and valued part of my clinical social work practice For over 20 years. I am committed to contributing to the high level of ethical, professional, and clinically-skilled practice of the profession in this way, and I love being a part of helping other social workers find ever-increasing satisfaction in their work.

I received my MSSW in 1998 from UT Austin School of Social Work, and since then I have practiced social work in various settings, including as a psychiatric social worker at Austin State Hospital, therapist at SafePlace, and social worker/counselor at Whole Woman's Health of Austin, and currently in my independent psychotherapy practice.

I actively pursue training and consultation in the areas of contemporary psychoanalytic thought, attachment theory, and interpersonal neurobiology; these are the ideas that most inform my approach to therapy and to clinical supervision. In my therapy practice I focus on working with adults in individual, couples, and group therapy.
