Qualifications & Experience

I hold a Master’s Degree in Counseling from St. Edward’s University. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts in Communication and a Bachelor of Environmental Studies, both from Santa Clara University. I practice Internal Family Systems therapy as well as Mindfulness.

My Call to Christian Counseling

My own life experiences led me to pursue my Master’s degree in counseling so I could professionally help others in need.

More About Me / On a Personal Note

I absolutely love swimming. I love the mindful aspect of moving through the water, the bilateral movement it requires, and also the deep breathing. I am currently training for multiple open water swims ranging from 1-2 miles each. I have done long-distance swimming in the ocean at South Padre Island, Lake Longhorn, and also in the Brazos River, winning third place in my division at one of the races.

I am also very passionate about writing. I have written a memoir and am currently in the process of pitching my second book, a Christian guide on recovery from narcissistic abuse, to literary agents and publishers.

Abandonment and Neglect

Feeling abandoned or neglected by your family, partner, or friend is an incredibly painful experience. Abandonment and neglect are traumatizing. Your inner child needs love, healing, and attention. As we work through these feelings together, my goal is for you to feel supported by me and Jesus every step of the way.

Bipolar Disorder

The manic highs, debilitating lows, and rapid cycling can leave you feeling hopeless if you are struggling with bipolar disorder. The good news is, no matter how bad things feel, there is always hope and a way through to the other side. It takes a brave soldier to survive a bipolar diagnosis, but all things are possible through Christ who strengthens us (Philippians 4:13).

Codependency

Do you excessively rely on and prioritize the needs, emotions, and well-being of others over your own? Or do you depend on others too much for your own emotional needs? If yes, you may be struggling with codependency. There is no shame in being codependent, but there are ways for you to learn to set boundaries to create healthier relationships with those in your life.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

If you are struggling with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, you are not alone. There are ways to heal and recover. Whether you are feeling intense feelings of guilt, stress, anxiety, or fear, with God’s help, we can work through this. As you slowly begin to feel more regulated through therapy, rumination will decrease and flashbacks will subside.

Individual Counseling

Are you in need of some one-on-one time to process your life, seek some guidance, and work on yourself? Individual counseling is the best way to pause, reflect, and take time for yourself. Whether you are dealing with anxious thoughts, insecurities, or want to work on your relationship with God, individual counseling can be very beneficial.

For ongoing treatment, the full fee per session is required at the time of service.
