I am a licensed professional counselor with experience working with mental health, trauma, addiction, grief, and couples counseling. I am here to walk along your side and see the world as you see it. I believe that with support, people can change their beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors in order to live productively and joyfully. It is my hope to build trust in a therapeutic relationship by providing safe and nonjudgmental therapy. My desire is for you to feel comfortable in relaying your goals and needs. I will collaborate with you in understanding what will work best for you to reach those goals and get your needs met.

I was working as a probation officer for Tarrant County Community Supervision Corrections Department and realized I wanted more tools to help people make needed changes to reach their full potential.

I enjoy spending time with family, traveling, exploring new places, exercising, and spending time outdoors.

I move my body by walking or going to the gym.

I have read The Body Keeps the Score more than once because I wanted to understand the connection between the mind and body when trauma occurs and how to heal from trauma.

My favorite organization/non-profit is The American Red Cross. I worked for them for several years and was able to see the organization help those who suffered trauma such as home fires, hurricanes, etc.

I recharge by going to the beach and reading a good book.

I was walking my two terriers and saw a poodle who was dirty and unkempt walking around the neighborhood lost. I said "come here." She came to me and now I have three dogs.
