My path to counseling began while studying Child Development at TCU, where I was introduced to Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®) and became passionate about trauma healing. As a foster care case manager early in my career, I found myself wanting to meet children and parents with trauma-informed care that felt safe and approachable. That experience led me to pursue counseling so I could support individuals and families in a deeper way.
I believe everyone has the capacity for healing, and I place a strong emphasis on the importance of nurturing connection and healthy attachment. Each person comes to counseling with their own story, and I partner with you to identify what approach may be most impactful for you or your child. Whether you are seeking EMDR, play therapy, or traditional talk therapy, I individualize our sessions to make sure your care fits your unique needs and goals.

My Counseling Approach
My counseling style is empathetic, trauma-informed, and individualized to each client. I strive to provide a comfortable, safe place where you can share openly as the expert in your own experience and receive compassionate care. I maintain a strengths-based perspective and work to build healthy connection throughout the counseling process. When working with children, I also value involving caregivers so families feel equipped and knowledgeable about their child’s care.
Throughout my social work career, I have worked with foster and adoptive families, children who have survived abuse, individuals affected by domestic violence, and asylum seekers. Each experience has shaped my practice in unique ways and strengthened my belief that we are not meant to journey alone. It is a privilege to walk alongside clients as they take steps toward healing, and my hope is that you feel valued, seen, and known throughout the process.
While I’m originally from North Carolina, I moved to Texas to attend college and quickly fell in love with the DFW area. Outside of counseling, I enjoy exercising, walking local trails, learning new crafts, listening to audiobooks, and spending time with friends.
