Many of us reach a point in life when we feel called to something different, something more meaningful. For me, that calling is counseling.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 15 years working alongside healthcare professionals in pharmaceutical and medical device sales. While I appreciated the opportunity to serve the healthcare community, the most meaningful part of my work was always connecting with people. I found myself drawn to listening to their stories, understanding their struggles, and celebrating their victories. Through those experiences, and through my own life's joys and challenges, I discovered a deep passion for walking alongside others as they navigate difficult seasons and pursue healing and growth.

I earned my Master of Science in Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Our Lady of the Lake University and am a member of Psi Chi, the International Honor Society in Psychology. I currently practice as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Associate under the supervision of Becky Davenport, Ph.D., LMFT-S.

I believe that each person enters therapy with a unique story, and that meaningful change happens when people feel safe, understood, and supported. My approach is warm, collaborative, strengths-based, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I tailor therapy to the individual needs of each client, drawing from Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy to help people build on their strengths, deepen their relationships, and move toward their goals.

As a Gottman Leader in the Lessons in Love Singles Program, I am passionate about helping individuals approach dating and relationships with greater confidence, intentionality, and self-awareness. I also enjoy working with couples who want to strengthen their connection, improve communication, heal from betrayal or infidelity, and rebuild trust. My goal is never to tell clients what they should do, but rather to partner with them as they discover the path that feels most authentic and meaningful for their lives.

I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing a variety of challenges, including relationship difficulties, life transitions, anxiety, depression, family conflict, and women's mental health concerns. I have a special interest in supporting women through the emotional complexities of fertility treatment, pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, pregnancy and infant loss, perimenopause, and menopause.

Many women come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or burdened by guilt and expectations. Together, we can work through postpartum anxiety and depression, intrusive thoughts, identity changes, emotional overwhelm, motherhood-related trauma, and the challenges that arise during major life transitions. If you've been told, "It’s gonna be okay," but something still doesn't feel right, I want you to know you are not alone. You deserve a space where your experiences are acknowledged, your emotions are validated, and your well-being matters too.

For clients who wish to incorporate spirituality into their healing journey, I welcome those conversations and thoughtfully integrate Christian faith into therapy while always honoring each client's personal beliefs, values, and worldview.

At the heart of my work is a simple belief: healing happens in relationships. Whether you're seeking support as an individual, a couple, or a family, I strive to create a compassionate and nonjudgmental space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and valued. It is a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they cultivate healthier relationships, greater resilience, and a renewed sense of hope.

Outside of the therapy room, my greatest joy comes from my family. My husband and I are blessed with two wonderful daughters who keep us laughing, learning, and growing. We enjoy spending time outdoors, gathering with family and friends, and volunteering with the Mini Schnauzer Rescue of Houston, openening our home to foster dogs in need.

I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing, connection, and growth.
