Welcome! I hold a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lamar University and a bachelor's from Texas Tech University. My experience includes individual counseling at various sites, including Collin College Counseling Services and Community Counseling Associates in Allen, TX, as well as facilitating grief groups through Journey of Hope. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC #84104) in the State of Texas and a proud member of the Texas Counseling Association. Before becoming a counselor, my professional life included working as an executive assistant, finance assistant, and HR generalist in the non-profit sector. 

I believe every person can learn new strategies to live purposeful lives that make a difference in this world. I want to walk alongside clients as they identify their strengths and resources, explore problems, and implement solutions that will positively affect their lives. I know how difficult it can be to manage the stresses of life and I want to help you experience confidence that you can be present and in control when hard things happen. 

Personally, I love volunteering weekly with my faith community, in particular mentoring and spending time with teens as they begin to figure life out! It gives me so much hope for the future. I also enjoy being outdoors, walking for fresh air and exercise, hanging out with my family, and grabbing a good beer with friends. Please reach out if you'd like to work together!

If we have a virtual session, you may notice Skylar in the background. Skylar has no formal training to speak of but naturally excels at providing a calm, quiet presence. She's mainly here for the cat naps! Feel free to introduce me to your pets as well. (Skylar is NOT present at in-person sessions in my office.)
