I am a native Texan, born in East Texas and raised near the surf and sand in Corpus Christi.  After graduating from Texas A&M  with a BA in Psychology (yes, that makes me an Aggie), I spent two years in Moscow, Russia working for an international venture.   

When it was time to leave, I moved to Dallas, TX and attended Dallas Theological Seminary receiving my Masters in Counseling 2002.  After graduation I began working as a counselor to the student body at DTS and started my private practice with LifeWorks Counseling.  While at Lifeworks I also worked as a counselor serving the students at University of Dallas.  

In September 2004 my family and I relocated to Beijing, China for another adventure.  For the next three years I worked with expatriots in Beijing including students at Beijing International School and working with NGOs. September 2007 we returned home and landed in San Antonio, TX.  I am a working mom of 2 kiddos and inhabit the struggle of trying to balance it all.  In addition to my practice, I am a LPC Supervisor and co-director of Counseling4Life serving San Antonio, Spring Branch, and Victoria, TX.

What makes me tick?  traveling anywhere, college football and basketball, eating really good food, spending time with my family, and good conversations, which is why I love my job.
