About

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas (TX 82975). I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology from the University of Texas at Arlington, a teaching certificate from the University of Texas at Austin, and a Master of Science degree in Counseling from Texas Woman's University. I am a member of the Texas Counseling Association.​In addition to my formal education, I have gained experience through my professional and advocacy work. I served as a caseworker, supporting indigent individuals in Collin County, providing assistance in meeting client needs, connecting them with local support services, and offering counseling. I have led intensive outpatient groups for people dealing with substance addiction and co-parenting groups for families going through separation and divorce. I am involved in advocacy efforts on behalf of marginalized individuals, working to build relationships between communities and to promote equity. Earlier in my career, I worked as a classroom teacher and as a school counselor in Dallas area public schools.  ​I am a Texas native and live in Dallas county with my husband. We have two children, both in college.  Outside of work, I'm a bit of a homebody.  I enjoy spending time with family and friends, being outside, music, movies, and reading.
