"We all experience life and the ups and downs along the way. I pursue being a real and authentic partner to journey with you during whatever life has handed you and commit to getting you back to the person you desire to be. "

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas who has been practicing since 2005. I received my Master of Social Work and Bachelor of Social Work from Baylor University and also hold a Clinical Supervisor license, helping build the next generation of social work clinicians. Since graduating, I've pursued being a real and authentic partner to those navigating mental health concerns, working in both inpatient and outpatient settings with mild to severe presentations. I enjoy working with people dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, phase-of-life challenges, wellness issues, and substance use.

I draw from many therapeutic models—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, problem-solving, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and motivational interviewing—to create a unique experience for each person. I'll work to give you a real, practical space to approach your concerns and navigate meaningful change.

I encourage you to take that first courageous step and schedule a session. We'll work together because many times we need new tools to handle what life has given us, and we'll build that toolbox together. Through conversation, practical application, and maybe a little laughter, we'll journey toward a place of hope and healing.
