My academic foundation was laid at Houston Baptist University, where I pursued a degree in Psychology and a minor in Kinesiology. Simultaneously during my undergrad, I was a student-athlete on the women's soccer team. The combination of academic rigor and athletic discipline shaped my commitment to excellence, teamwork, and resilience.
Post-graduation, I took a strategic gap semester to discern the direction of my career. It was during this introspective period that my calling to the field of counseling became unmistakably clear. Driven by a desire to make a meaningful impact, I redirected my focus toward Marriage and Family Therapy.
Presently, I find myself in the final year of my graduate studies, and it is a privilege to be part of the counseling community. I recognize the trepidation that seeking therapy can evoke, and my objective is to create a space where individuals and couples feel welcomed, secure, and empowered to navigate their unique journeys.
I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you on your path to self-discovery and well-being!
