My love for helping people started when I was young. Growing up in a blended family with parents who led with generosity and compassion, I learned early what it meant to show up for others. Their example shaped my heart and continues to guide how I care for the people I work with today.

My journey into this field began in 2014 at a residential treatment facility in Quincy, Illinois, where I supported children and young adults while completing my Bachelor’s degree in Human Services at Quincy University. That experience sparked a deep curiosity in me, a desire to understand people more fully and serve them more effectively. It led me to earn a Master of Arts in Human Services Counseling with a specialization in Christian Ministries from Liberty University, and later a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy. I also became a Certified Systemic Couples and Family Therapist and now practice as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate (LMFTA), supervised by Dr. Ashley McErlean, LMFT‑S (TX License #202535).

At the heart of my work is a simple belief: healing happens in connection. I am passionate about supporting individuals, couples, and families as they learn, grow, and rediscover their strength. I specialize in working with couples of all relationship structures, monogamous and non‑monogamous, and I strive to create a space where every person feels seen, respected, and valued. No matter someone’s background or identity, my goal is to meet each client with dignity, compassion, and the kind of love that helps people feel safe enough to heal.
