Originally from Beaumont, TX. I graduated from Lamar University, The University of Texas at Arlington, and Texas State University. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. at Our Lady of the Lake University.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and LCSW Supervisor for those working towards their licensure. As a therapist, I have worked in many settings, and my clients have ranged from age 18-102. I have worked closely with veterans, particularly those veterans experiencing trauma. I have worked with clients who struggle with addictions, in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings, provided crisis intervention, facilitated groups in both inpatient and outpatient settings, performed grief and bereavement counseling in hospice, and developed a strong knowledge of resources as a medical social worker.

I strongly advocate for understanding clients and treating the whole person through a holistic approach. I utilize sensorimotor psychotherapy in my work. I use the Gottman Method in working with couples.

In addition to my clinical practice, I am an Instructor of Social Work at Texas Southern University and serve my community and state as an Advisory Board Member for Lamar University, Appointee to the Texas Juvenile Justice Advisory Board by Governor Greg Abbott, Appointee to the Texas State Board of Social Worker Examiners by Governor Greg Abbott, and an appointee to the Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) Policy Council on Children and Families by HHS Executive Commissioner, Cecile Young . I previously served in multiples leadership roles within the National Association of Social Workers Texas Chapter and served as a Board Member of CASA of Southeast Texas.

I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and cooking in my free time.
