I graduated with an MS in Psychology from Our Lady of the Lake University, and hold an Executive Certificate while enrolled in my PhD in Developmental Psychology. I have been a psychotherapist for 4 years as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. In my preparation to be a clinician I learned equality for all and that everyone's story is unique. I am here to understand your story and bring to light the future hope it entails. I have worked with many populations such as LGBTQ+, Military, Adolescents and Couples. I specialize in family, couples, and individuals ages 10+. My focus has been on depression, anxiety, bi-polar, relationships, and crisis situations and many other symptoms of mental health discomfort. I work through Solution Focused and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques while seeking other treatments that you find effective. My therapy incorporates communication skills, support, respect and understanding through building trust so together we accomplish your goals. Ultimately, I want to help you navigate your goals that are important to you to help you live your best life.
