I work with clients across the lifespan, supporting individuals, parents, and families navigating anxiety, depression, relational issues, stress, ADHD, and other behavioral needs. I am passionate about walking alongside people as they nurture their strengths and develop the tools they need to move through life’s complexities.
As a therapist, I focus on building a genuine and trusting relationship with each client. I bring unconditional positive regard, empathy, and authenticity to the therapeutic space, and I approach our work together collaboratively. I view difficulties through a relational lens, understanding that clients are shaped by the relationships and experiences they've had in the broader world. I draw from different modalities to meet each person’s unique needs and strengths, and with younger clients, I integrate developmentally appropriate techniques such as play and expressive arts to create a safe and engaging environment.
As an Army spouse, I understand the constant transitions, unpredictability, and emotional ups and downs that come with living in a mobile, ever-changing environment. This personal experience shapes my work with internationally based clients—particularly spouses and children—who often navigate similar rhythms of change, adjustment, and the search for stability in motion. I aim to offer a steady and supportive space no matter where you are in the world.
Before becoming a counselor, I was an educator—an experience that continues to inform and enrich my work in meaningful ways. I earned my BS in Community, Family, and Addiction Services from Texas Tech University and my MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling from the University of North Texas.
Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, quality family time, trying new foods, live concerts, scenic drives, camping adventures, skiing, and reading. While living abroad, I provide virtual therapy sessions exclusively, allowing me to support clients with flexibility and continuity regardless of where life takes them. I offer telehealth services to clients located in Virginia and Washington, as well as U.S. Embassy-connected clients living abroad.
