Background...
As an individual, I’ve always made it my goal to make a positive impact in people’s lives. Growing up in Texas, I enjoyed volunteering with various organizations while gathering resources for those in need. In 2014, I graduated from the University of North Texas in Denton with a major in social work and a minor in Spanish and chemical dependency. Then pursued a master’s degree in social work focusing on mental health at the University of Texas at Arlington.
While in Texas, I had the opportunity to work with people suffering from domestic violence, chemical dependency, major depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, and those who are experiencing antisocial behaviors. In 2019, I moved to Alabama, where I worked with those suffering from eating disorders while preparing for my first baby boy to arrive. When the pandemic hit, I became a stay-at-home mother, virtual personal trainer and continued my role as a therapist on the weekends until I was ready to return to work at a private practice full-time. It was then I found myself often working individuals struggling with ADHD, anxiety, and depression. By 2023, I had the opportunity to make my way back home to Texas to continue pursing a career that would allow me to integrate mental health and movement into a therapeutic setting. Therapeutic art, mindfulness, and movement are various techniques I may use during a session but vary from each individual. I believe the mental and physical state we are in plays a vital role in our overall health and wellbeing. I believe in quality over quantity care, in which I strive to empower, advocate, and educate everyone I meet.
