Why I Do This Work

From a young age, I’ve been drawn to listening and supporting others. Whether volunteering at the Houston Downtown YMCA with my grandmother or comforting classmates in middle school, I’ve always had a heart for helping people find their path.

Now, I’m here to be a sounding board and guide—helping you untangle life’s complexities and build resilience for what lies ahead.

Change is constant, but healing is possible.
Together, we can explore new ways to grow, heal, and thrive.
