I joined the counseling profession in 2007, after graduating with a Master of Art's degree in Professional Counseling from Texas State University. Prior to that time, I studied psychology and world religions at the University of Toronto, in Canada. I was eager to learn as much as possible about how culture, spirituality and psychology come together to influence how one perceives themselves and their world. During that time I also discovered that I had a calling to hear people's stories, stories that included not only many different life experiences and losses, but had a universal theme in them of trying to find a sense of belonging, connectedness, and hope.  I decided to study counseling to learn more about how I could help others process and integrate their life experiences, and feel a greater sense of love and belongingness. I feel honored to have the opportunity to do this work.  

I have been in private-practice since August 2008.  I work as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I also hold a Supervisor's license, to supervise LPC and LMFT-Associates working toward full-licensure. For the past twenty years I have had the wonderful experience of counseling children, adolescents, adults, couples and families.

Since 2008, I have also worked as a guardian ad litem, and have done adoption studies in affiliation with the Williamson County and Travis County courts. I have also co-presented on the topic of trauma at the Iowa Mental Health Practitioners 2018 conference and am a regular speaker at the Austin Divorce Workshop. 

​I founded my current practice, Georgetown Counseling and Wellness, in 2019, after seeing a growing need for mental health services in Georgetown. We are a group counseling practice, working with children, teens, adults, couples and families. In my free time, I enjoy spending time cooking, baking, playing the harp, and spending time with my husband and children in nature exploring the Georgetown hiking trails as well as the TX State Parks.  I look forward to helping you on your path.
