After 15 years in tech marketing, I went to the University of Texas at Arlington to earn my Master's in Social Work. Upon graduation, I worked toward my clinical license at a Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient Program. Here, I worked with clients with severe mental health problems to find stability and gain the tools necessary to find success in life after program. This setting allowed me to work across the full spectrum of mental health issues, specifically with mood and personality disorders, trauma, self-harm, suicidal ideation, psychosis, and other high-acuity issues.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Sex Offender Treatment Provider (LSOTP) who has been practicing since 2015. I earned my undergraduate degree from The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) and my Master’s degree from St. Edward’s University in Austin. Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience working with a diverse range of populations and presenting concerns. My professional background includes providing treatment to adults with sexual behavior issues who have been court-ordered or mandated by state and county agencies to participate in services. I have also worked extensively with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, and other complex life challenges. In addition, I have provided services to children in foster care and youth identified as at risk, helping them navigate emotional, behavioral, and environmental difficulties. My training and experience include working with both children and adults who have experienced trauma, utilizing evidence-based approaches to support healing, resilience, and long-term well-being.

I would love to assist you in beginning your healing journey. Since beginning my counseling career, I have worked with a wide variety of clients from children/adolescent to adults. I am passionate about helping clients who are working on healing from trauma. I also love working with teens and young adults who may be in transitional seasons or are facing overwhelming situations in their life. Additionally, I find joy in walking with those who may be navigating difficult family circumstances and learning to find their place and purpose in life.

You might be here because you're navigating a major life transition — trying to get pregnant, adjusting to motherhood, or feeling burnt out from it all!

These seasons can feel overwhelming, isolating, and confusing, especially when you're used to being the one who has it all together.

I specialize in supporting women experiencing anxiety, burnout, life transitions, pregnancy and postpartum challenges, and the unique stressors that come with new motherhood. Whether you're feeling emotionally exhausted, struggling with identity changes, experiencing postpartum depression or anxiety, or feeling stuck during a life transition, therapy can help you regain clarity and confidence. As a new mom who also lives with anxiety- I get you and I see you! You are not alone and there is a way through!

My approach is warm, collaborative, and supportive. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore what you're experiencing and reconnect with yourself. Together, we work to help you feel more grounded, confident, and aligned with the life you want to create.

My clinical style is warm, structured, and collaborative. I emphasize clear communication and shared decision-making with my patients. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where people feel heard and respected.

I have an AGACNP background, which supports my ability to assess medical comorbidity and understand complex medical/psychiatric overlap. I am also DOT-certified, which reflects my knowledge of safety-sensitive considerations and careful medication risk assessment.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and a career counselor, I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth.
