I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin and my Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from New Mexico State University. I completed my pre-doctoral internship and post-doctoral residency at the Texas State University Counseling Center in San Marcos, Texas. My clinical interests include anxiety/depression, first-generation college students, trauma, multicultural issues, interpersonal relationships, and self-esteem/self-compassion. It is a privilege to provide students with a safe, welcoming, and empathic space where they can find solutions, create positive change, and feel empowered. I enjoy spending time with family, friends, and my dogs, going to the movies/watching movies, reading, and traveling.
