Family therapy and counseling in Hutto, TX

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.

I strive to empower clients to regain a sense of agency in their health and well‐being. With more than 30 years as a therapist, I understand that creating meaningful change can be both challenging and deeply rewarding. My role is to support you through that process with clarity, compassion, and tools that help you move toward the life you desire.

My practice started out of a deep desire to help heal trauma passed down through generations. As a child of two trauma survivors myself, I know that these wounds can begin in childhood and follow us well into our adult lives. My goal is to work together to notice and intervene in harmful patterns that keep us trapped in cycles of pain and heartbreak.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience in the Austin area helping parents and children overcome emotional and behavioral challenges. Services are provided in-home and in the community.

I am a licensed psychologist and founder of Canopy Counseling, bringing 20 years of experience and a Psy.D. from Yeshiva University to my practice. I specialize in helping children, adolescents, and adults navigate challenges such as ADHD, anxiety, attachment issues, and trauma. To foster profound healing, my integrative approach thoughtfully blends traditional therapies with advanced modalities like EMDR and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). Ultimately, I view therapy as a collaborative journey and am dedicated to providing a safe, compassionate space tailored to your unique path toward growth.

I earned my M.Ed. in Counselor Education from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, LA. My path into the counseling field has been shaped by a deep passion for both the healing process and holistic wellness. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work in various levels of care, including residential and intensive outpatient settings, where I gained invaluable clinical experience and a deeper appreciation for mental health care..

As a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, I am passionate about personal growth, both physically and mentally. I find balance through movement, whether it's walking my dogs, hiking, or riding my horses.
