I believe to have a genuine passion for helping individuals reach a well balanced, fulfilled and purposeful lifestyle at any stage of life. My approach is a collaboration centered on mutual respect to help individuals who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, grief/loss and life role transitions. I firmly believe it is a privilege to have been entrusted to create an atmosphere where a client feels supported, validated without judgement or shame.

My Professional Background

I have experience working with children, adolescents and families in the education and foster care system. My work with adults and the older adult has afforded me the opportunity to help hospice patients and families faced with terminal illness, end of life issues, grief and bereavement.

Fun Facts

Most of my time is spent with close family and friends over a good meal, great conversation and laughter. I enjoy outdoor adventures with my fiance, on road trips to the Texas Hill Country, attending Professional Bull Riding Rodeos, and catching a baseball game. My relaxation time is sitting outside under the warm sun and bright star sky at the ranch with our four legged loves JB and Jazmine.
