I’m an easygoing, caring, and compassionate clinician who wants the best for every client.

I know life can place real obstacles in your path, and having people in your corner matters. With a PhD in Marriage and Family Counseling, licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor–Supervisor (LPC-S), and recognition as an AAMFT Approved Supervisor, I strive to see the best in people and be a light when things feel dark.

I work with individuals, couples, blended families, and adolescents on concerns such as depression, anxiety, anger, loss of identity, relationship issues, abandonment, and the effects of sexual, emotional, and physical abuse.

I welcome all clients—regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or gender—and provide a respectful, inclusive space. There are no one-size-fits-all shortcuts in therapy. I tailor my approach to your needs, drawing on systemic and evidence-based practices to help you move toward healing, connection, and purpose.

One of our deepest longings is to be heard. I’m here to listen.

Life shapes our beliefs about family, relationships, education, and work—yet in the process, we can lose sight of our own needs. When self-care fades, misunderstandings grow, emotions run high, and isolation or helplessness can follow.

My goal is to meet you where you are, understand your world, and help you navigate the challenges in front of you. Together, we’ll build practical tools to support your well-being and move toward a life grounded in purpose and understanding. I offer a safe, compassionate space for you to share your story and begin healing. One step at a time—that’s all I ask.

Let’s take the first step toward relief from stressors, mental health concerns, and addictions, and toward a healthier, more connected life.

Life isn’t always easy. Building healthy relationships, finding balance, letting go, and staying motivated take dedication and consistency.

I offer a considerate, caring, and non-judgmental space where you can explore what’s getting in the way and practice new tools and perspectives. My approach is collaborative and skills-based—designed to help you make realistic choices, shift unhelpful thinking, and take actionable steps toward healthier relationships and a more balanced life.

I’m a Clinical Mental Health Counseling graduate student at the University of Phoenix, and I’m deeply committed to supporting individuals and families as they navigate their mental wellness journeys. My training is grounded in client-centered care, cultural humility, and trauma-informed practice, with a strong belief that healing happens best in a safe, compassionate, and collaborative relationship.

Before entering the counseling field, I worked in education and organizational leadership. Those experiences strengthened my communication skills, deepened my empathy, and taught me how to connect with people from many different backgrounds. They also shaped the way I show up in the therapy space—listening carefully, creating a supportive environment, and helping clients feel understood as they work through life’s challenges.

I’m currently in my final year of my Master’s program at National University, working toward becoming a Marriage and Family Therapist. I’m also a proud graduate of the University of North Texas at Dallas—Go Jaguars! I earned my BA in Arts and Sciences with a double major in Psychology and Sociology.

I’m a mother of three and a “Lolli” to an adorable grandson. My passion for this work grew from my own family’s journey. After raising three teenagers and learning that each of them experienced mental health-related challenges that contributed to anxiety and other concerns, I saw firsthand how the right tools, support, and communication can make a meaningful difference. That experience continues to shape the way I show up for clients—with patience, compassion, and a strength-based focus.
