Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here!

Outside of being a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am a born and raised Texan, who holds a special place for BBQ and Dr. Pepper. Go Cowboys! I have my Doctoral Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Liberty University. I received a Masters & Bachelor's in Counseling and Guidance from Texas A&M University- Kingsville. The National Board of Certified Counselors has recognized me for upholding the highest standards in counseling practices. I have more than 10 years of experience working with a range of people experiencing anxiety, relationship issues, self-love, career and life transitions, and family conflict. I believe in creating skills for effective coping mechanisms for overall wellness.

For me, therapy has been a life-shifting experience, along with other self-care practices I enjoy. I enjoy exercise, breathwork, holistic plant medicine, hosting retreats, grounding in nature, and spending time with animals. In my spare time, you can find me deep diving into a foreign culture or on a flight visiting other countries, 25 and counting!

From denial to acceptance, I help my clients discover their strengths, heal their past wounds, overcome the trauma and move on with a greater understanding and indifference with the change in their lives. Embarking on my journey as an attachment style specialist was a natural evolution of my lifelong fascination with human behavior and relationships. I became engrossed in the study of attachment theory due to its potential to reveal profound insights into the dynamics of love and intimacy. My desire to provide people with a roadmap for understanding their relational patterns and overcoming barriers to intimacy led me to specialize in this modality. Through evidence-based techniques and compassionate guidance, I empower clients to cultivate secure attachments and build the fulfilling connections they deserve. My dedication to this work stems from a deep-seated belief in the power of healing attachment wounds to transform lives.

My Dissertation “An Investigation of the Impacts of Locus of Control on Marital Satisfaction Among Wives of Combat Veterans with PTSD in the U.S.” helped fill a large gap in research with the mutual goal of many students in the field to make an impact on the Veterans Affairs office.

We all wanted to start a program to support military wives whose husbands return from service with PTSD.

This topic was personal to me as a person close to me at the time just returned from overseas after 10 years of service. Many students had the same intention to create change within the VA and so with different approaches, data, and methodologies, to prove our mission our answers were heard and now a program is being formed to help wives now within the VA system.

One voice is loud, but many can move mountains.
