Founder and Counselor

I completed my undergraduate work at the University of Kansas and soon after began serving in full-time youth ministry positions. Building upon experience throughout college, I continued to work full-time with middle and high school students in Colorado Springs and Kansas City for five additional years prior to moving to Dallas.

Inside the doors of the church, I had the privilege to walk alongside teens and families dealing with divorce, addiction and substance abuse, the death of parents, abortion, eating disorders, anxiety, co-dependency, sexual identity, depression, and an array of developmental struggles.

In 2010, I prayerfully decided to transition from youth ministry to professional counseling and attend Dallas Theological Seminary (DTS). In addition to schooling, I have continued working through the effects of my own broken family and resulting hurts and messes. I have experienced the freedom that can come from counseling and wish to invite others into this joy.

During my time at DTS, I worked with survivors of sexual trauma and their children, dissociative clients, a variety of mood disorders, children of divorce, addiction and recovery, and at-risk students. I have a strong desire to serve clients, like yourself, with respect and empathy, while encouraging you in your personal journey. I believe change happens in the context of relationship and am encouraged by God’s call to do life together.

In 2020, amid the Covid pandemic, our family moved from Dallas to the Denver suburbs to pursue new opportunities and better weather for more time outside playing together as a family. I kept my Texas LPC licensure (#71385) to continue the work with the folks via Telehealth that I have invested in and worked with over the past 10 years. Additionally, I am licensed in the state of Colorado (LPC.0017018) and see clients via Telehealth.

Please know that I recognize the role faith plays in all our lives. I approach counseling from a Christian perspective and combine psychological principles with biblical truth. While my faith guides my practice, it will not be imposed upon the clients I see.

In my free time, I enjoy road trips, trying new coffee shops, and taking long walks. I also love clicking around on iTunes for new music, finding and cooking new recipes, laughing with good friends, and eating Mexican food. My weekends are often filled with activities, rest, and church with my family.
