I strive to create a warm, supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and comfortable being themselves. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate anxiety, stress, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, and other challenges that can make life feel overwhelming. 

I offer counseling sessions on weekdays and weekends, with flexible scheduling options to fit clients with varying schedules.

My counseling approach is trauma-informed, client-centered, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) while also incorporating person-centered, solution-focused, and motivational interviewing techniques based on each client’s individual needs. I believe counseling should be collaborative, and I work to help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing practical coping skills they can use in everyday life.

I have a special interest in working with first responders and their families. Professionally, I work closely with first responders in crisis-based settings and have seen firsthand the emotional weight, stress, and trauma that can come with serving others every day. As the wife of a first responder, I also understand how the demands of the profession can affect not only the individual, but their relationships and family life as well. This perspective has strengthened my passion for creating a space where first responders and their loved ones can feel understood, supported, and comfortable discussing experiences they may not always feel able to share elsewhere.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice from Angelo State University and am currently pursuing my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through the University of Phoenix. Outside of counseling, I enjoy spending time with my family and balancing family life, work, and personal growth.

Therapy Modalities include:

  • Crisis Trauma

  • Domestic Violence 

  • Depression  

  • Anxiety Disorders 

  • Behavior Modification

  • Individual Therapy

  •  Bereavement

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy 

  • Post-Traumatic Stress
