[humans have layers]
I grew up in little Forest Hills of the DFW. I attended Booker T Washington, where I had a focus on ceramics, a passion I continue to enjoy to this day.
In 2005, I moved to New Orleans LA to obtain my bachelor's in psychology, which is where I first began working with kiddos on the autistic spectrum.
Following graduating from Loyola in 2009, I became more focused on my own psychological well-being and started studying Kripalu Yoga. I received my Kripalu teaching training certificate in 2010 and began teaching in the New Orleans area shortly after.
In 2012, I decided that I wanted to attend Graduate School to pursue research on using yoga in forms of rehabilitation and graduated from LSU with a master's in health science and a focus in clinical rehabilitation and counseling in 2015.
I started working in 'inpatient care' shortly after school, and in 'long term' as well as 'acute inpatient care'. I have worked on a assertive community treatment team, as well as within the school system.
In 2020, in the wake of the pandemic, I decided to specialize more in eating disorders- an adjacent to the trauma work that I was doing in private practice. I worked in Eating Recovery Centers IOP program and became licensed in Texas in 2021.
In 2023, I made the decision to move to be closer to my stepmother and father- whom I am very close to. I am very excited to be able to work in person in the city of Coppell serving DFW residents. When I am not being a therapist..., I am the mom to the most incredible child. And when I'm not doing that- I can be found either with my family, working out, practicing yoga, or being out in nature or my studio.
