Originally from Los Angeles, California, and recently relocated to Houston, Texas, I bring a heartfelt dedication to enhancing the lives of others through compassionate support and valuable resources.

My career is built on years of experience as an ABA therapist, a role I’ve approached with genuine care, immense patience, and a deep-seated desire to make a meaningful impact.

Having lived in Texas for the past several years, I have come to appreciate the importance of community, connection, and supportive relationships. As a wife, mother of five, and graduate student, I understand that life can be both rewarding and challenging, and that our relationships often play a significant role in how we navigate those experiences.

My passion for Marriage and Family Therapy comes from a desire to help people strengthen relationships, navigate life transitions, and find healing during difficult seasons. I enjoy working with children, adults, couples, and families and am especially interested in how attachment, communication patterns, and family dynamics influence emotional well-being. I believe that every person has unique strengths and resilience that can be built upon to create meaningful change.

I was raised in Magnolia, Texas, and my life experiences have shaped both my heart and my calling to help others. My experience of raising a child with intellectual and developmental disabilities has given me a deep and personal understanding of the challenges families face—balancing the demands of full-time caregiving, navigating the school system, and locating various support services. With two teenagers still at home, I have also experienced the joys and challenges of parenting through all stages of family life, from early childhood to adolescence. These experiences have inspired my passion for walking alongside children and families in their unique journeys. I am currently completing my practicum in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Liberty University, where I focus on creating a safe and supportive space for clients. I believe in meeting each person where they are, with compassion, understanding, and a commitment to building on their strengths as we work together to create hope and lasting growth.
