Before I became a therapist, I spent over a decade as an educator, walking alongside children and families as they learned, struggled, and grew. That experience shaped everything about how I show up in this work. I bring patience, curiosity, and an unshakeable belief that every person already holds the seeds of resilience and possibility inside them. My job is simply to help you find your way back to them.

I'm currently completing my Master's in Professional Counseling at Texas State University, with a concentration in Marriage, Couple, and Family Counseling. I'll be accepting therapy clients beginning May 2026 as a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-Associate) under clinical supervision, and I'm training toward becoming a Registered Play Therapist (RPT).

My greatest asset is my ability to use my knowledge and experience to offer a safe place to learn and grow. My three beautifully wired children, whose diagnoses have spanned the spectrum (ADHD, Sensory Processing, Autism, Anxiety, Giftedness, and so much more), have made meeting kids' needs become both my passion and a necessity. As a lifelong educator, I am on a mission to support and advocate for all children and their caregivers, so they can use the beautiful way their brains are wired to thrive.

Who I Work With

Clients often come to me navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting stress, identity exploration, or painful relational patterns that feel impossible to break. Together, we move at your pace — creating a therapeutic relationship where you feel safe to explore, express, and grow.

I have a deep commitment to neurodiversity-affirming care for children, parents, and families. As a parent to three neurodivergent children myself, this work isn't abstract for me — it's personal. I understand the particular exhaustion, love, and complexity that comes with raising kids whose brains work differently, and I bring that understanding into every session.

I'm also especially dedicated to walking alongside immigrant families and communities, offering culturally responsive care that honors lived experience, centers resilience, and never asks you to leave your culture at the door.

My clinical passions include:

• Complex and relational trauma

• Play therapy and parenting support

• Neurodiversity-affirming care

• Culturally responsive and liberation-centered practice

• Couples and family work

Beyond the Therapy Room

Outside of sessions, you'll find me in nature, with my family, or somewhere in the middle of community advocacy work. I'm the President of Counselors for Social Justice at Texas State University, where I organize panels, grief circles, and community conversations at the intersection of mental health and equity. I also make polymer clay jewelry to help me focus on importance of creativity, art, and joy.

I believe that small moments of connection — with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us — can be powerful sources of healing. That belief lives at the center of everything I do.

It would be an honor to support you on your journey toward healing and wholeness. Please reach out to see if we might be a good fit.
