I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and completed my Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Texas Tech University Health and Science Center. I am a certified registered play therapist and am certified in autplay therapy.

I have a wealth of experience working with children throughout the various developmental stages. Growing up, my mother owned an in-home daycare and this is where my passion with working with children began. During college, I completed my Bachelors of Science in Community Health and interned at Stone Oak Therapy in San Antonio and here I learned how delicate and important the nurturing of children was to help them develop. I went on to complete my Bachelors of Science in Nursing and have previously worked in the neonatal intensive care unit with one of the most vulnerable populations where I began to understand the importance of centering a family centered care approach. I have continued my nursing career working at Texas Children’s Hospital and during this time, I have worked with children and families with developmental disabilities and behavioral challenges. Here I learned the importance of creating a strengths-based approach in helping all children and families live to their fullest potential. Through my life experiences of working with children at various developmental stages, I have gained an immense respect for community and the importance of utilizing a team based approach in nurturing the mental health of children and families.
