​​I’ve always been drawn to helping people through life’s most difficult transitions. I grew up in California and began my career in mental health there before moving to Texas, where I opened my private practice, Forward Transitions Counseling, in February 2017. After several meaningful years in Texas, I returned to California to be closer to family—while continuing to serve clients in both states.

Forward Transitions Counseling was founded on the belief that real change begins with authenticity, connection, and compassion. I specialize in supporting adults and teens who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, stress, life transitions, school or academic pressure, parenting, and relationship struggles.

My clients often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of where to start. My goal is to help them breathe easier, feel lighter, and reconnect with their sense of self. There’s nothing more rewarding than hearing someone say, “I feel like myself again.”

How I Work

​

I’m direct, compassionate, and grounded. I show up with honesty and care, and work collaboratively with each client to identify practical steps toward meaningful change. My therapeutic style blends cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and a deep belief that everyone deserves to be heard, supported, and empowered.

A Bit About Me

​

When I’m not in session, you’ll usually find me outdoors—caring for my horses and goats, playing with my dogs, gardening, or hiking. I also enjoy spinning, listening to audiobooks, and spending time with friends and family. These moments help me stay centered, and I bring that same sense of balance and calm into the therapy space.
