I received my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Houston on a track scholarship. I am currently a graduate student at Abilene Christian University where I have already accomplished a graduate certificate in conflict management and am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family therapy with hopes of making a difference in the lives of many couples and families.
My goal is to create a therapeutic relationship that benefits the success of my clients. I aim to meet my client(s) where they are at in an approachable way that promotes a working relationship toward their goals. My intent is to empower my client(s) in such a way that they may gain confidence about achieving their desired changes.
When I am not helping my client achieve change, I am enjoying my two children watching movies, playing outside, or volunteering at church. I believe every moment doing what I love is worthy of cherishing!
