More about Your Future Therapist!

Professional Background


I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Prepare-Enrich Trainer, and DBT-Trained Provider with a BA from California State University, Stanislaus and an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling—dual-tracked in Marriage & Family Counseling—from the CACREP-approved program at the University of Mary Hardin Baylor. Since 2017, I have operated a private practice serving diverse clients, including unconventional couples, LGBTQ+ individuals, Christians, and those affected by PTSD or Military Sexual Trauma (MST). My therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based methods—such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution FocusBrief Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Rogerian Therapy, Attachment theory, Motivational Interviewing, and DBT-informed interventions—to address each client’s unique goals and challenges.

In addition to therapy, I have led youth groups focused on communication skills, anti-bullying, and confidence building, and I have conducted a Military Marriage seminar. I also create coaching programs that function like a “light bulb” switch for my clients, helping them discover their niche, embrace innovation, and find the cheerleader they need to move forward. As an author, I wrote Glow Up Girl Shine Brighter Than Your Highlighter and I am currently working on a book about ADHD and Anxiety, as well as a couples/relationship workbook. My mission is to empower individuals and couples with the tools, insights, and support necessary to thrive emotionally, spiritually, and relationally.

My Values

  • Act with Compassion

I honor the courage it takes to seek help and celebrate every step of the journey. With an open heart and understanding, I meet you exactly where you are and remind you: “You are deserving of love, and you are never alone.”

  • Work with Integrity

My commitment is to transparency and honesty in every interaction. As a trusted guide in the world of mental wellness, I advocate fiercely for your needs and stand by the promise of clear, honest guidance at every turn.

  • Promote Connection

I believe in the power of human connection and the spark that ignites when people come together. By building a nurturing community and collaborating with like-minded individuals and organizations, I create a space where minds and hearts are opened to new possibilities.

My Transformation Model

At Changing Light Bulbs Counseling, I redefine mental wellness beyond traditional labels of illness and treatment. My approach centers on everyday well-being—nurturing the elements that allow every individual to shine brightly:

supportive relationships, a secure and welcoming home environment, community connections, and a purposeful life. When equity lights the way in every aspect of our lives, true wellness becomes accessible to all.

More about Your Future Therapist!

I’m not just your average cup of coffee—I’m more like a Starbucks secret menu drink: genuine, a bit unique, and maybe even surprising at times. I believe in being upfront and honest, and I hope you’ll do the same with me. I’m also human, which means I occasionally trip over my feet, but I’ve learned to laugh at myself when that happens.

If you’re looking for a therapist who simply nods, asks “How does that make you feel?” and leaves it at that, I may not be the best fit. I’m genuinely curious about what’s going on in your world and will ask questions to better understand your challenges. Above all, I’ll offer you unconditional positive regard—meaning I work to see your perspective, not impose my own.


In our sessions, you’re the captain and I’m your guide. I’ll support you every step of the way, without judgment or abandonment. My approach focuses on empathy, not sympathy. I won’t jump into the box with you, but I’ll stand beside you, offering insights and tools to help you find your way out—and stay out.

My Commitment To Equity

I stand by the values of trust, support, collaboration, and fairness. I recognize that systemic inequities and discrimination have dimmed the lives of many, and I refuse to be silent in the face of injustice. I commit to actively opposing racism and bias, ensuring that my practices, partnerships, and advocacy reflect a genuine dedication to inclusivity and respect.

Amplify Diverse Voices

I pledge to uplift those whose experiences have been marginalized, ensuring that their stories and needs shine through.

Ongoing Growth

I am dedicated to continual learning and transparent dialogue, always listening and evolving to better serve my community.

Intentional Action

From my own practices to every interaction, I promise to foster an environment where equity is not just an ideal but a lived reality.
