About Me
Since I was a teenager, I felt a strong pull towards the field of Psychology and I’m grateful that this purpose and passion within me never wavered as I got older. I am now a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS). I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree from Texas Tech University in Psychology and my Master of Science degree in Counseling from the University of North Texas. I began my career in the non-profit sector working primarily with indigent individuals struggling with mental health issues. After leading a team of mental health workers in this capacity for several years, I found myself interested in the eating disorder population. From here I began my journey to become an expert on the treatment of eating disorders. My experience started as one of the founding Primary Therapists at the Eating Recovery Center of Dallas, and from there transitioning to private practice in 2015. Through this work I have felt honored by the trust and bravery my clients have shown in finding growth and healing through therapy. My favorite part about being a therapist is hearing people’s story. I love getting to understand each person’s unique experiences and allowing this depth to help people see themselves in a way they may not have been able to before. I’ve been witness to so much resiliency and strength and I consider myself fortunate to get to walk alongside people who are in search of support, encouragement and empowerment.
