A native Austinite, I know the charms and change of central Texas. During and after my years at UT Austin, I thrived as an emerging adult exploring and living in other parts of the world. Wandering taught me many lessons, my most enduring is that there are infinite roads one can travel to find your way. In time, my path lead me back home. Once home, I got busy with the business of work until my journey lead me to counseling where I found my heart and my calling. I have been working as a therapist with adults and adolescents since 2010.
Professional History
I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Spanish from UT Austin in 1998. After graduation, I spent time teaching English abroad and traveling. After returning to Austin, I began a 10 year career in the tech field. While working, I also earned a Master of Arts in Counseling. As a St. Edward’s University Practicum student, I saw patients at a medical pain management clinic and an immersive chronic pain medication recovery clinic for people living with chronic pain. As an LPC Intern, I worked with Lake Travis ISD students along with my own clients at a low cost clinic.
Once fully licensed, I continued with LTISD as a contract counselor collaborating to develop a behavioral health program for the DAEP, providing individual and group counseling for select students and providing short term behavioral health sessions for students through the drug testing program. In 2019, my practice moved from Austin to Bee Cave, TX, where I still provide Telehealth and in office sessions.
