About

I’ve been a school counselor for about 9 years now and I absolutely love it!! I love to try new techniques in my counseling practice and enjoy being creative in my daily worklife. I truly believe that to avoid burnout we must keep work exciting and continue to try new things. I encourage you to find adventure in your daily work life; adventure doesn’t have to wait until the weekends y’all. In my spare time, I enjoy travelling, working on our fixer upper house just outside of Austin (Texas), and chilling with my little family.
