I have a deep heart for helping people feel seen, understood, and valued. That desire first led me to study Psychology at the University of Tulsa, where I discovered my passion for counseling. My own healing journey with a licensed counselor—whose training was rooted in Dallas Theological Seminary—further confirmed my calling and ultimately led me to pursue my Master’s in Clinical Counseling at DTS, where I am currently studying and training.
While I practice from a Christian worldview, my goal is always to create a space where you feel safe to explore what is most meaningful to you, regardless of your beliefs. I am especially passionate about helping individuals navigate difficult experiences in ways that integrate, rather than avoid, their faith. Too often, faith is used to minimize or bypass complex emotions. I seek instead to support clients in developing a faith that is both emotionally honest and spiritually grounded.
My background also includes a minor in Spanish, and I love being able to offer bilingual support. Si hablas español, me encantaría hablar contigo en tu idioma y usarlo en tu tratamiento cuando lo desees.
Before beginning my clinical training, I worked in an inpatient eating disorder treatment center and spent three years serving in my church’s college ministry. There, I walked alongside college students in discipleship, emotional processing, and spiritual care—experiences that shaped my understanding of the courage it takes to share your story.
As a developing clinician, I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment theory, and insight‑oriented approaches. Attachment theory, in particular, offers a meaningful framework for understanding how early relationships shape our current patterns, expectations, and emotional responses. I am continuing to grow in evidence‑based care for anxiety, depression, and obsessive‑compulsive disorder (OCD), and I am committed to providing thoughtful, competent, and compassionate support.
I also love working with individuals navigating:
I am deeply grateful for every person who entrusts me with their story. Your trust is something I hold with great care and humility. I look forward to meeting you and walking with you in whatever season you find yourself.
You can usually find me outside — going for a run, taking a walk, or soaking in as much Texas sunshine as I can. I love slow mornings with coffee and time spent with my husband. Creativity is life‑giving to me, whether through writing, drawing, or watercolor. I also find joy in hosting — sharing a meal, gathering friends, or settling in for a cozy movie night. And I’m a sucker for Fall… with Gilmore Girls on repeat from September through December.
