Since the days of pigtails, I’ve been pulled by this strong force to access wisdom and connect with something higher than this tangible world. This gnawing passion has led me to study the power of the mind and how to create what our souls truly desire.
I’ve been blessed to study ancient technologies such as yoga and breathwork and am so passionate about sharing simple tools to effect real change.
I was trained in counseling at University of North Texas, receiving my Masters in Education. My favorite courses were transpersonal counseling and stress reduction through movement. I am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas and have currently been practicing for 4 years.
I’m also a certified yoga teacher and trained at the Shri Kali ashram in India. The types of yoga I teach focus on activating the parasympathetic nervous system to release the whole self from the ever vigilant fight or flight mode a lot of us find ourselves in on a constant basis to survive in this modern culture.
In the therapy session, my main intent is to be fully present with you, free of judgment; to Become a spacious environment in which you can explore your own truth and start to shed the layers that no longer serve.

My therapeutic style is warm, inviting, and deeply empathetic. I strive to create a non-judgmental, compassionate environment where you feel truly heard, respected, and valued.
I take an eclectic approach to therapy, tailoring treatment to meet each client where they are. My goal is to collaborate with you to create a treatment plan that works for you. It takes tremendous courage to reach out for help—especially when you've been the strong one for so long—and I commend you for taking this step. I’m here to walk alongside you, empower you, and help you see the best in yourself.
Let’s work together to unlock your potential and make meaningful changes in your life.
