My Background

I’ve always been passionate about helping others navigate life’s challenges. Becoming a counselor was a natural path for me as I wanted to make a positive impact on people’s lives. I attended Hardin-Simmons University for both my Undergrad and Graduate degrees, obtaining a Master of Arts in both Family Psychology and Family Ministry. Throughout my years as an LPC I’ve worked with a variety of clients including teens, adults, couples and families, and addressed a variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal ideation, grief, relational problems, life transitions, and past trauma. I am trained in EMDR and also use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness to help clients heal and achieve their goals. I believe in creating a safe and empathetic space for my clients to explore their concerns.

A Few Fun Facts

Outside the therapy room you will usually find me spending time with my family – especially my nieces and nephew. I enjoy traveling to explore different parts of the world but also love spending time at home with my cat, Hermione, watching a fun comedy or drama. Connecting on a personal level is essential, and I look forward to getting to know
you better!
