About Me

I firmly believe that mental health must be nurtured – it is a journey rather than a destination! My heart belongs in helping others. I'm a believer in the greater good and have dedicated my life to human services. I have been known to “spread infectious enthusiasm” and positively influence those around me because I truly care about advocating for and improving our world. I whole-heartedly believe that encouraging and embodying compassion and empathy is key to a peaceful future.​

​

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington state and a National Certified Counselor (NCC) in the USA. I received my Master of Arts (MA) in Counseling with a specialization in School Counseling through CACREP-accredited Adams State University. I received my Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Psychology with Honors from the University of Texas at Austin. Additionally, I'm a former Texas Education Agency (TEA) licensed educator in EC-6 General Education and EC-12 Special Education.

 

I'm a certified yoga instructor and avid yogi. Mindful movement with the breath and Somatic Psychotherapy techniques have served as my main coping strategies throughout the years. Whether on or off the mat, I utilize my mind and body practice to help me build concentration, compassion, motivation, and connection.

​

I hope to prepare my clients for greatness and become empowered to find creative solutions to the problems of today in order to make the world a better place tomorrow.
