My journey

I experienced the loss of a parent and trauma as a child and teen and found myself on “the” couch at sixteen. My healing journey began then and continues. I have met myself in the depths and will continue to dig. We are people in a process, who are a process! I was born and raised right here in Texas. I graduated in 2013 from Stephen F. Austin State University with a Bachelors of Science in Family and Child Development. Soon after, I attended Southern Methodist University where I graduated with a Master's of Science in Counseling. I worked as a psychotherapist in different levels of care and settings, serving an array of clients with different needs, learning and growing. Then I found Hillside Counseling, or maybe Hillside Counseling found me in 2018 and my journey beautifully continues here. From serving clients, mentoring therapists, assisting our administrative team, to helping with clinical decisions, I have the opportunity to make a bigger impact for others directly or indirectly.

My approach

I believe that you are the expert of your life! With this, I deeply value a collaborative relationship where together we explore where to step forward. Tools and modalities I use in therapy include a Person-Centered Approach, Attachment and Relational Therapies, DBT, Compassion Inquiry, and Mindfulness Based Therapies. I tailor therapy to the individual needs of each client, couple, or family.
