I’m passionate about helping individuals find healing and balance through compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. With over a decade of experience as a registered nurse, I bring a deeply rooted sense of empathy, advocacy, and holistic understanding into every session. I’ve cared for individuals through some of their most vulnerable moments, and that same dedication guides my work in psychiatry. I believe in creating a safe, judgment-free space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported.

My personal and professional experiences have shaped my passion for supporting others through life’s transitions. As a military spouse for many years, I experienced firsthand the challenges of relocation, adapting to new environments, and rebuilding support systems. I have experience supporting individuals and families through grief, medical challenges, and emotional stress in both medical and school settings. I support adults navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and feelings of overwhelm or disconnection. I especially enjoy helping people through significant changes and adjusting to new seasons of life.

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I love collaborating with clients as they embark on their wellbeing journey. I have spent 25 years in the helping professions. I work with a variety of clients, including those within oppressed communities: LGBTQIA, BIPOC, those struggling with maternal mental health, psychosis, depression/anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, grief, intimate relationships, and I am a poly-friendly therapist. I understand there are many paths to being healthy and whole. I attended UT Austin for undergraduate work in psychology and sociology, and Lamar University for a Master's Degree in Counseling & Development. I find great reward in witnessing a client's growth, healing, and change.

I attended Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene Texas and received my Master's in Family Psychology. After many years of work in a non profit adoption agency and in several psychiatric hospitals, I found my passion lies in working with individuals that want to explore their past to inform their current functioning. Although the hot "it" therapies offer quick fixes, I believe you must first understand yourself before you can understand the root of your issues.
