Associate Psychotherapist @ Flourish! Psychotherapy + Nutrition

My work focuses on walking alongside adult survivors of childhood abuse, domestic/sexual violence, and couples/families experiencing conflictual relationships. I have great capacity for holding space, hope, and joy during stressful seasons. I’m not scared of what you’re experiencing and I’ll be there to gently encourage the innate desire to heal that brought you to this work. We are walking the resilient path and I believe in your ability to change and heal. It’s vital that you are the author of your own healing.

I am not here fix nor judge you. I am here to create and hold space for you. I am here to assist you in connecting with yourself, releasing what you no longer want to carry, and tapping into your innate capacity to heal and change your life.

My approach includes mindfulness, somatic therapy, attachment theory, polyvagal theory, and IFS (Internal Family Systems) perspectives and sometimes use other processing methods to stimulate change such as ETT, movement, sound and art. I hold a M.A. in Counseling from Dallas Theological Seminary (with honors) as well as Ph.D. in Medical Geography (a multidisciplinary field at the cross-section of socioe-environment, public health, and epidemiology) from Texas A&M and am supervised by Dr. Linda Marten, LPC-S.

Samsara Healing is a holistic practice dedicated to helping clients heal from the root cause of challenges such as trauma, anxiety, and depression, rather than only addressing the symptoms. Founded by Pavlina Romans, the creator of Transformational Healing Hypnotherapy (THH) as well as Concentric Reiki and Angelic Ray Reiki, Samsara Healing offers an integrative path to deep transformation on the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual levels.

Through compassionate, personalized sessions, Pavlina integrates hypnotherapy, past-life regression, and Reiki energy healing to guide clients in healing deep emotional wounds, releasing old patterns, restoring confidence, uncovering inner wisdom, and achieving lasting balance and inner peace.

Samsara Healing proudly serves clients in Austin, Lakeway, and the surrounding areas, as well as those connecting online from around the world.

I am a licensed professional counselor intern inspired to serve others in working through anxiety, depression, loss, life transitions, and unresolved trauma. I believe that we naturally move towards wholeness, and in therapy we can discover what’s in the way and explore it with curiosity and kindness. I am trained in the latest research in neuroscience as well as older wisdom from the field. Supervised by Sunny Lansdale, LPC-S.
