Counseling was only something that I heard of, but I finally understood the beauty behind it when I went through my personal counseling. I learned the hardship that came from sharing my most vulnerable and painful problems, but I watched myself be freed from shame when I started sharing the things that I went through. It is tough to find somewhere to rest, to be heard, understood, and feel safe.
However, I have experienced firsthand how a room with a person who cares can help heal so many wounds. Asking for help is not easy, and it is only something that brave people do. It takes a lot to want to move on and grow even when there is pain in your journey. My desire is to be able to equip those who are seeking tools to cope with the bumps that may come up in their journey and be a safe place for those that need rest, to be heard, and understood. |

I received my Master’s in Professional Counseling from Dallas Baptist University, where I also received my bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I interned at the DBU Counseling Center where I worked with young adults from different beliefs, ethnicities, races, and backgrounds. I enjoyed working with individuals who were battling anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, trauma, eating disorders, and personality disorders. After graduation and while in the process of waiting for my license I worked at a therapeutical home for women. It was here that I got the privilege to aid women of all ages who were working on recovering from addictions, anxiety, trauma, depression, and emotion disorders.
I enjoy providing different avenues that an individual can take to get to a goal that they have in mind. Often times we as humans tend to overlook the beauty that there is behind being human and making mistakes. Mistakes do not dictate all of our lives. We have authority to speak light into our brokenness and bring forth life into it. It is through our shortcomings that we get to pull our pieces together for resilience and build ourselves into a stronger whole. Every part of us is worthy of being invested in.
I look forward to walking with you through the different changes that happen throughout your journey. Your words, your emotions, your thoughts, and you have value. I would love to show you that nothing can take that away from you!
