We all desire harmony and to feel healthy, loving, and strong. I believe in order for teens to create a happy, positive life, it's important to have a place to express emotions- both positive and negative. By sharing our dreams, hopes, insecurities, and fears we begin to see life through a new lens and realize we are all connected in our emotional struggles. My job is to act as a guide so that we can work together to heal from painful past experiences and learn new ways to engage with the world. With honor and respect, I am here to walk with you and together we will discover greater joy and harmony.
I create healthy, positive, and meaningful connections with teens and enjoy using creative approaches including art, journaling, music, and a sense of humor. My goal is to help adolescents build self-awareness and discover the best version of themselves.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has specialized in working with adolescents since 2010. I received my undergraduate education in Psychology from the University of Georgia and a Master's Degree in Professional Counseling from Texas State University. In graduate school, I completed a thesis studying Spirituality as a facet of Identity Development. I was selected to present these findings at the American Counseling Association National Conference and this research continues to influence me today.
I have worked in a variety of mental health settings including a Residential Treatment Facility, Drug and Alcohol Abuse Center, University Community Counseling Center, and a non-profit, family counseling organization in Williamson County. My favorite part about my work is creating relationships and watching people grow and change every day.
For fun, I enjoy reading, writing a blog, being outside, and riding horses. Outside the office, you will find me at my favorite coffee shop, Cherrywood Coffee, or at Book People. I also volunteer at Maplewood Elementary and STARRY, an organization that provides counseling, foster care, and shelter services for families across Texas.
