a bit more about me

I graduated from Texas State University with my Master’s in Professional Counseling in 2021. Prior to graduation, I completed a (school) year-long internship with the SAFE Alliance where I worked with victims and survivors of intimate partner violence and sexual assault. This experience, along with my education, informs the basics of my practice for trauma processing, the unpacking of oppressive systems and their impact, community building, and personal power.

I work from a human-centered, relational-cultural lens, which means that it’s important to me to learn about you, your lived experiences, and to help you access the healing and reach the goals that you most want to achieve. Together we’ll find ways to remove the obstacles and build the courage you need that will help you move through stuck points and past pain, so that you can access your healing, growth, and inner strength and confidence. I’ll help you access that through structure, navigation, and ideally enough safety that you feel free to drop any masks and speak openly about your experiences and innermost thoughts.

I believe that the we all have an innate drive towards healing, and my goal is to help you access that drive within you. This is foundational in my approach to therapy. I’m fascinated by the human body, mind, and spirit. I graduated with my bachelor’s in Exercise Science from the University of Kansas in 2013, and completed a certification for health coaching through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in 2016.
