Welcome to my office. Take a seat where you’d like. I’d like to introduce myself so that you can get a feel for who I am, how I work, and if we could be a good fit. I am currently meeting with people via telehealth or zoom. I practice as a psychotherapist, consultant, and trainer.

My Approach
Like people, my approach varies. While I practice gestalt therapy on a personal and professional level, I tend to work from an eclectic perspective.
Gestalt therapy, in my experience, is relational (engages the client-therapist relationship), process-oriented (focuses on the what and how as oppose to the why), and is a "now" therapy (I will help you to work with your relevant past in the present). I take a holistic approach which includes cognition, emotions, body/somatic experience, sensations, energies/vibrations, spirituality, and whatever else surfaces.
My Work
I work from an anti-oppression lens with individuals and people in relationship. I work from an often authentic, usually somatic, gestalt way of being.
My coaching, therapy, and consultation work is mostly online and my in-person work is based in Austin, Texas, at local climbing gyms, and in Asheville, NC.
Gestalt Therapy Demonstrations
My practice with gestalt therapy is not ‘person-centered,’ but is ‘relationship-centered.’ Because people are different and dynamics are different with different people, the following videos are a demonstration of a relationship between that particular person and I:
