I am passionate about supporting children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples as they work toward healthier relationships, emotional growth, and greater self-understanding. I welcome individuals who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how past experiences may be influencing their current relationships.

My background as an elementary school teacher shaped my clinical perspective and reinforced the importance of early attachment, family dynamics, and creating safe spaces where people, especially young people, feel seen, heard, and supported. I bring this same warmth, curiosity, and nonjudgment into my work with individual adults navigating stress, identity development, life transitions, parenting challenges, or relational patterns that feel difficult to change.

I am currently pursuing my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Abilene Christian University, where I am training in trauma-informed care and the Gottman Method. I also hold a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from Sam Houston State University and have a long-term interest in working with youthful offenders and their families, with a focus on how trauma, environment, and relational systems influence behavior and healing.

I strive to provide a collaborative and compassionate therapeutic space that honors client autonomy, where individuals can explore their experiences, build coping skills, and move toward meaningful and lasting change.
