About me
I am an experienced and licensed professional counselor who has a passion for encouraging adolescents and young adults to explore their obstacles and rediscover their strengths during the most pivotal and challenging stages of life.
I hold a Master of Science in Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of North Texas, and a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Houston – Victoria. I have over 10 years of counseling experience helping persons with physical, mental, emotional, or developmental disabilities achieve personal, career, and independent living goals through counseling and emotional support.
I strive to create a safe, inclusive, and empowering space where you can explore emotions, navigate identity, build resilience, and develop tools necessary for lasting mental wellness. I am here to walk alongside you on your journey, helping you find meaning, strength, and hope in your own story. This is not just my profession; it is my purpose.
