About Me

I grew up in Austin (an original Austinite!) and graduated with my Bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Austin. I received my Master’s Degree in Counseling and Development from Lamar University.

For the past twenty years, I’ve worked in education…first as a Spanish teacher and most recently as a school counselor. I worked exclusively in secondary schools because I love teenagers! As both a middle and high school counselor, I understand the unique stressors and needs of Generation Z. Additionally, I worked closely with parents and colleagues, which influenced my desire to provide therapy to adults in private practice.

Friends and family members would describe me as kind, funny, and loyal. My former students and colleagues would characterize me as hardworking, direct, and compassionate. As your therapist, I will provide a comfortable, non-judgemental space for you. The relationship we form is essential for the therapeutic process, and I promise to be a genuine cheerleader in your corner.

In my personal time, I love to travel and learn about new cultures. I’m a foodie and love to cook as well. I am constantly reading, researching, and learning. I have a dog named Bosley that I adore, and obviously…I love birds.
