I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate with a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Letourneau University.

 

I have had various counseling experiences with teens and adults, focusing on a variety of issues, including anxiety and depression, PTSD, grief & loss, management and coping skills for stress, self-harm and suicidal ideations, body-image issues, abuse and trauma, marriage and family relational conflicts, and taking control of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I have also had the opportunity of working with a non-profit organization aiding in the setup of their counseling component for at-risk women. 

 

Outside of counseling, I have been avidly involved with athletics in many different forms. I have 17+ years of experience as a competitive volleyball player, including a collegiate career at both the NCAA Division I and Division II levels. I have also coached volleyball at every educational level. My collegiate pursuits started off in Sports Medicine. While pursuing that degree, I came to fall in love with the mental and emotional side of athletics and felt my passion shift towards that need, which lead me to counseling. During my time as an athlete, athletic trainer, and coach, the most valuable lesson I learned was the importance of addressing not only my physical health and wellbeing, but also regulating my mental and emotional health. I have been able to apply this lesson to not only my athletic endeavors, but also my personal and professional ventures. 

 

I have dedicated my life to working with clients and helping them to develop strength and create change within themselves which will enable them to build a healthier and more rewarding outlook on life. I believe therapy should be about you and what is most important to you. I provide a safe, nurturing, and non-judgmental space where you are free to express your concerns, explore your fears, and work towards healing. I would consider it a privilege to partner with you as my client as you deepen your own self-awareness, achieve new insight, and work towards building the life you desire for yourself.
