Helping Women & Mothers /

I help women and mothers lead empowered and fulfilling lives through life’s most transformative moments.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional School Counselor in the state of Texas (License #86962) with a private practice in North Texas.

Originally from Kansas, I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Sociology from Wichita State University. I then went on to achieve my Masters of Science in School Counseling and Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Fort Hays State University. 

During my time as a School Counselor, I noticed the tremendous need among parents and their children, so I left education to pursue a space where I could provide more personalized care to individuals and their families.

Not long after leaving education, I had my daughter. And this is where everything changed for me. It felt like there was this gap in mental health for pregnant and postpartum mothers.

The never ending questions, how do I make all this work now that I have a child/ren? And why doesn’t this feel like I thought it would? I didn’t think becoming a mom would be this hard… fear, anxiety, racing thoughts, the never ending to-do lists, perfectionism, depression, burnout, stress, exhaustion.

I am deeply passionate about what I do, because I can relate. I’ve been there too and still visit those questions from time to time. I’m here to tell you, you’re not alone and you can find peace and balance in your motherhood journey.
