Get to know me…
The Technical Stuff…
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a specialization in Sexual Health and Relationships.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling.
I have specialized training in sexual health, holistic health, and three evidence-based psychotherapy treatments: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
I served on the Board of Directors for Houston Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (HAMFT) as the Director of Ethics and Diversity from 2018-2021.
United For Human Dignity
In addition to my coaching and therapy practice, I’ve dedicated myself to supporting survivors of sex trafficking through my non-profit, United For Human Dignity.
I created this organization to provide support through counseling, peer support groups, financial literacy, and education scholarships.

And… I’m a passionate advocate for comprehensive and inclusive sexual health education.
Sexual health is about nurturing and maintaining the physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing related to your sexuality throughout your lifetime.
This includes:
Understanding and acceptance of your own body
Nurturing healthy and respectful relationships
Engaging in consensual and safe sexual behaviors
Preventing and managing sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
Addressing reproductive health concerns
Embracing a respectful and affirming attitude towards sexuality
And...EVERYONE deserves access to accurate and relevant information when it comes to their sexuality and sexual health.
My mission is to get schools across all states to implement consistent, developmentally appropriate, and medically accurate education for grades K-12 to empower our children with the knowledge that will keep them healthy and safe.
Start early. Teach often.
Empower always.
The Personal Stuff…
I’m a mom to a couple of humans and a few too many cats.
I love being a mom…it’s been quite a journey to get here.
I have a sweet spot for babies.
I might have an unhealthy relationship with dark chocolate…I’m still assessing.
I can cook, and enjoy it most days…though my sense of time tends to be a bit optimistic, so things often take longer than expected.
I’m a pescatarian…seafood is my love language.
I’m a knowledge junkie and love learning.
I’m bilingual.
I’m passionate about sexual health and can talk about it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, over coffee and dessert…all day…to ANYONE.
I’ve thought of doing a Ted Talk but I struggle with stage fright…so it remains a dream…for now…or maybe forever…we’ll see.
I love to pretend I’m creative and start home projects that take me forever to finish…seriously…forever…sometimes never.
I curse…with sophistication.
And…I’m a work in progress just like everyone else on this planet.

So…that’s me!
I’d love to connect and see if I can support you….
I’ve been told by a few that I'm kind of good at what I do. 😊
