I was born and raised in Texas and I will always call Dallas home. I enjoy exploring different cities, trying new foods, engaging in water activities, and roller skating and so much more!

I earned my BS in Applied Learning and Development and my master’s in Educational Psychology (Counselor Education) from the University of Texas at Austin. I am trained in school, community, and clinical counseling.

As a therapist and change agent, it is my duty to advocate and support at the individual and community levels. At its core, advocacy is about creating change in circumstances that contribute to or create problems or inequalities.

I am trained and competent in providing services to both youth and adults. I specialize in supporting issues around anxiety and stress, depression, life transitions, relationship struggles, self-esteem, trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, and college student concerns. You can expect me to bring my true and authentic self into sessions. I may not share the same experiences as you, however, I am able to empathize and meet you where you are.

I consider myself to be honest, direct, and transparent. My interests are specifically geared toward those who are Queer, Black, Latinx, or come from refugee backgrounds because I understand that often times they want to do more, but unfortunately, do not have the necessary resources.

Trainings I’ve Attended

As a dedicated therapist, I have participated in numerous professional development and continuing education programs, including specialized training in trauma-informed care, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and ethics in counseling. These courses have enhanced my clinical skills, ensuring I provide my clients the highest quality of care in diverse therapeutic settings.
