Where We Began

Life moves fast. It’s layered, unpredictable, and beautifully complex. At some point, each of us will need support—someone to walk beside us, to listen, to hold space. I’ve been both the one seeking guidance and the one offering it. That duality is what shaped me.

 The Spark

I’ve always known I was meant to work with people. Connection was my compass, even before I had words for it. In high school, I found myself drawn to students of all abilities—recognizing early on the power of presence and empathy. That calling deepened as I pursued my psychology degree at the University of Texas in Austin.

One day, while flipping through the Daily Texan, I saw a small ad: a family seeking a psychology student to care for an elderly woman with short-term memory loss. I made the call. That moment changed everything. I was welcomed into a home overflowing with love, vulnerability, and devotion. Their story—raw, real, and deeply human—taught me what it means to live with compassion, honesty, and loyalty. It was the beginning of a lifelong commitment to serve with integrity and heart.

The Journey

After UT, I explored many corners of the psychology field before finding my home in vocational rehabilitation counseling. I was drawn to its holistic lens—addressing emotional, physical, mental, social, and vocational wellbeing. The whole person.

I earned my Master of Science in Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of North Texas and began working with adults and transition-age youth. Seventeen years later, I’m still honored to walk alongside these individuals and their families. Every story has taught me that healing is never isolated—it ripples outward. We are all connected. We are all part of a greater whole.

 The Philosophy

Healing begins within. Transformation begins within. And when we nurture that inner shift, it radiates into our relationships, our communities, and the world around us. This is the heartbeat of my work—the belief that we each hold the power to create meaningful change, starting from the inside out. #RippleEffect

My journey has led me to embrace health as a wholistic practice—one that honors the mind, body, and soul. I believe healing is deeply personal. What works today may shift tomorrow. There is no one-size-fits-all path, and that’s the beauty of it.

I’m passionate about mind-body practices and committed to creating a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported.

Together, we’ll practice.
Together, we’ll learn.
Together, we’ll grow.
