Biography

Qualifications & Experience

I have a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Neuroscience from Texas A&M. I also have a Master of Science in Family and Child Studies from Texas State University that I gained in order to work as a Certified Child Life Specialist in hospitals where I provided psychosocial support to hospitalized children and their families to help them cope better with the stress of the hospital, diagnosis, or procedures. And finally, I have a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University.

My Call to Christian Counseling

Having worked as a Certified Child Life Specialist for five years, I saw many situations that warranted longer term psychosocial support that I was unable to provide in that professional capacity. Working in the emergency room for most of that time, I saw too many children, adolescents, and young adults who needed follow up or more in-depth support that I could not provide past the walls of the hospital, which led me to determine that I wanted to do more. In addition, God has placed people in my life who have supported, encouraged, and challenged me to think more critically about what my God-given strengths are and how I can best spread Jesus’ love to others in this world.

More About Me/On a Personal Note

I love to bake! I recently took some classes to learn French baking, like cream puffs, éclairs, croissants, and pan au chocolat. I also recently got some sourdough starter from a friend and have made sourdough loaves, biscotti, and pancakes all from the same starter! In addition, I love to do jigsaw puzzles, crochet, and play video games.

Anxiety

Anxiety can feel exhausting and overwhelming, especially when your thoughts seem impossible to slow down. Maybe you find yourself overthinking conversations, constantly anticipating the worst, feeling stuck in fear, or becoming so overwhelmed that it feels difficult to function day to day. If this is you, you are not alone.

While anxiety is a normal part of life, sometimes protective parts of us begin working overtime to keep us safe, leaving us feeling emotionally drained, stuck, or disconnected from ourselves and others. In counseling, we work together to better understand those anxious patterns with compassion rather than shame.

My goal is to help you explore what your anxiety looks like, develop practical coping tools, and create healthier ways to respond to stress and fear. Anxiety is not your identity, and healing is possible. Whether your focus is learning daily management skills, processing deeper emotional wounds, or reconnecting with God’s truth about who you are, I will meet you where you are with compassion and support.

Grief and Loss

Grief is not something we simply “get over.” Loss changes us, and healing often looks less like leaving grief behind and more like learning how to carry it with compassion and support. There is no right timeline or perfect way to grieve, and every part of your experience deserves care and understanding.

Sometimes grief brings sadness, while other times it can bring anger, numbness, anxiety, guilt, or even confusion. In counseling, we create space to gently explore and care for the parts of you carrying those emotions without shame or pressure to “move on.”

Whether support looks like processing your story, sitting with difficult emotions, strengthening coping skills, or navigating everyday reminders of your loss, I will walk alongside you with compassion and grace. My hope is to help you experience healing, connection, and hope even in the midst of sorrow.

Spiritual Development

No matter where you are in your faith journey, there are seasons when life can leave you feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, uncertain, or full of questions. Sometimes certain parts of us long for closeness with God while other parts carry fear, doubt, shame, or hurt from past experiences.

My heart is to walk alongside you as you explore and strengthen your faith in a safe, compassionate, and judgment-free space. Whether you are exploring your beliefs, reconnecting with God, or simply longing to better understand yourself and your relationship with Him, you do not have to walk alone.

I believe spiritual growth is not about perfection, but about learning to approach yourself with honesty, curiosity, and grace while discovering more deeply who you are and whose you are. My hope is to help clients experience a sense of safety, healing, and wonder as they grow in their relationship with God and begin to see themselves as His masterpiece, deeply loved, known, and created with purpose.

Counseling for Teens

Being a teenager can feel overwhelming. Between anxiety, stress, friendships, family dynamics, identity, and the constant pressure of growing up, it can sometimes feel like different parts of you are pulling in opposite directions: one part wanting independence, another feeling uncertain, anxious, or misunderstood.

I strive to create a space where teens feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported without judgment. Counseling can provide a safe place to slow down, process emotions, and better understand the protective parts of themselves that may be carrying stress, fear, shame, or pressure.

Together, we work to build healthy coping skills, strengthen self-awareness, and help teens grow in confidence, emotional resilience, and a deeper understanding of who they are beneath the overwhelm.

Counseling for Children

Children often experience and process life’s challenges very differently than adults. Big emotions can feel confusing, overwhelming, or difficult to express, especially during experiences such as anxiety, anger, grief, or major life changes.

My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where children feel seen, understood, and emotionally secure. Through developmentally appropriate counseling, I help children better understand their emotions and the different parts of themselves that may feel scared, angry, anxious, or hurt. Together, we work to build healthy coping skills, process difficult experiences, and help children feel more confident, connected, and secure both in and outside of counseling.
