I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and the founder of Within Clinical Counseling. My path to becoming a therapist stems from a deep belief that mental health is a necessary and fundamental health. I view my role not just as a clinician, but as an advocate for overall wellness, walking alongside you as you navigate the complexities of your unique story.
My background includes a degree in Psychology from Texas State University and a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. Mary’s University. I’ve gained invaluable, hands-on experience in community mental health, private practice, and group settings.
My approach is holistic and integrative. I blend psychodynamic and behavioral therapies to explore how your past experiences and relational patterns shape your present self. To fully support this mind-body connection, my practice also incorporates mindfulness techniques and specialized training in Food as Medicine.
Together, we will identify exactly what you hope to gain from counseling and collaboratively create a practical, individualized plan for wellness.
