Kerrville's LGBTQIA+ community deserves mental healthcare that celebrates who you are. Headway provides access to warm, open-minded providers who offer evidence-based talk therapy and medication management. Sessions are flexible, confidential, and often covered by insurance with minimal out-of-pocket costs.
You should know that I truly care about who you are, not just the symptoms you’re experiencing. I understand that reaching out for mental health support can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve ever felt judged, misunderstood, or dismissed in the past. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected from the very first conversation.
I approach every person with compassion, patience, and curiosity. I take the time to understand your story, your stressors, and what matters most to you, so your care is never one-size-fits-all. I believe healing happens best when you feel supported and involved in your treatment, and I see our work as a true partnership.
I am committed to using evidence-based practices while also honoring your lived experience. Whether we are focusing on medication, coping strategies, or long-term growth, I will always be honest, supportive, and collaborative.
Above all, you should know that you are not alone here, and your well-being is my priority.

I've been a licensed professional counselor for over 10 years, working with adults and teens. I specialize in trauma, depression, and anxiety and use a variety of techniques to help my clients. I received my Masters degree at the University of North Texas and have specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.
I graduated from the University of Texas at Tyler with a Master's Degree in Counseling and am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I spent the beginning of my career in mental health working at an MHMR, as well as with those struggling with addiction and eating disorders.
As a clinician, it brings me joy to watch others get excited about life again – to learn the fine details about oneself, reject false ideas, and unlock parts that have been inaccessible for far too long. There is a ripple effect in healing. The power of investing a listening ear and welcoming vulnerability in its rawest form can change a landscape for many lifetimes to come. For many, therapy is the first space a person has been heard in an unconditional way. While speaking your deepest fears, hopes, thoughts, and needs aloud can feel daunting, I am here to ensure that your journey is more than just talk—it is a safe, empowering, and deeply transformative experience. There is a vibrant version of you just beneath the surface, waiting for permission to explore, the courage to heal, and the space to create."
I earned my M.Ed. in Counselor Education from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, LA. My path into the counseling field has been shaped by a deep passion for both the healing process and holistic wellness. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work in various levels of care, including residential and intensive outpatient settings, where I gained invaluable clinical experience and a deeper appreciation for mental health care..
I love helping people navigate anxiety and the ups and downs of everyday life—because let’s be honest, it can get a little chaotic. I aim to create a space that feels supportive, nonjudgmental, and real, where you can be yourself. Along the way, I’ll help you gain insight, build tools, and maybe even share a few laughs as you grow into the version of yourself you’re working toward.
