Professionally, I have spent a decade in education (five years as a classroom teacher and five years as a school counselor). This is my third year as a therapist outside of the school setting.

For my masters degree, I attended Texas State University in San Marcos, TX (Eat 'em up cats!). At Texas State, I completed my MA in Professional Counseling with two focuses: school counseling and clinical mental health.

As a former educator, the populations I support include adolescents, young adults, educators, parents/guardians, and caretakers.

Storms of life come to us in all kinds of ways. Like an unexpected Texas hail storm pounding us with stress and shattering our lives; or a tornado of change uprooting all that was once familiar; or perhaps a seemingly small gust of difficulty which swirls our lives around until we no longer have a sense of direction. We are in uncertain times which often creates waves of doubt and amplifies our fears as we question the future. Yet in the midst of the chaos there can be a sense of calm. I’ve been honored to walk the path of healing with those struggling in addiction, trauma, grief, loss and relationship challenges. With a background in psychology as well as recreation, I use proven methods of Counseling to empower strength in discovering a sense of purpose through clearing of the mind, restoration of the body and joy in the spirit. It takes courage to change and face the storms of life. I look forward to joining you in your journey and helping you turn the tides of your storm into hope and healing.

Are you tired of being the strong one? I work with adults, high-achievers—the fixers, leaders, and eldest siblings who are used to taking care of everyone else but are secretly running on empty.

My primary treatment areas include:

  • Anxiety & Overthinking: Helping you quiet the racing thoughts and find relief from that constant, "on-edge" feeling.
  • Burnout Recovery: Providing practical tools for professionals and caretakers who are emotionally exhausted and operating on fumes.
  • Life Transitions: Navigating the disorienting, messy middle of major life, career, or relationship changes.

In our sessions, you don’t need a script - just show up as you are. Together, we will turn your stress and constant overthinking into practical, manageable tools that you can use the moment our session ends.

You don't have to carry this heavy load alone anymore—let's work through it together.
