Education & Experience

I got my Bachelor’s degree in psychology because I’ve always been fascinated with how the mind works. I moved to Austin to be close to my sister and nephew and pursue my Master's of Arts in Counseling from St. Edward’s University. Ever since I was little, I loved listening to everyone’s stories and helping people. I truly knew from a young age that I had an innate ability that was meant for supporting others. I work with Neurodiversity (Autism), learning differences (ADHD), life transitions, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I always crave additional training, so I completed my EMDR training and became certified in Perinatal Mental Health. I am Neurodivergent (AuDHD) and have a deeper understanding of the experience. I offer a more progressive approach in EMDR that is a better fit for Autistic ADHD people. My goal is to support moms and dads, as well as Neurodivergent parents. I completely believe in the importance of focusing on the mind-body connection and will, at times, incorporate mindfulness coping strategies to reduce stress. In sessions, I have a more person-centered and collaborative approach. I will always be open to constructive feedback by wanting to know what is working for you and what aspects haven’t served you in the past. I address correcting negative behaviors, identifying triggers, and self-defeating thoughts. I also focus on attachment theory by breaking old patterns and creating new healthy boundaries.
