After earning a Bachelor of Arts in Art Therapy with a Minor in Psychology from Southern Adventist University in Tennessee in December 2015, I pursued a Master of Science in School Counseling. During my graduate studies, I worked as a Mental Health Technician at a residential child and adolescent behavioral hospital and as a Disability Support Services Representative at my alma mater. I completed 800 hours of school counseling internships across elementary, middle, and high school settings. In November 2017, I relocated to France with my husband, where I taught English as a second language to children aged 2-10, completing my final master’s class abroad in the summer of 2018.

In 2019, after returning to the United States, I accepted a role as one of the first Professional School Counselors serving private schools through Catapult Learning in Central Florida. Over two years, I provided individual and small group counseling to K-12 students across seven culturally diverse private schools while collaborating with academic leadership teams. In 2021, my husband and I relocated to Georgetown, Texas, with the intention of establishing long-term roots. I worked as an Elementary School Counselor in Austin ISD from 2021-2022, supporting students through the rapid influx of Afghan refugees by creating ambassador programs and peace projects to foster integration. In 2022, I joined Georgetown ISD as an Elementary School Counselor, a role I held for the 2022-2024 school years. In January 2023, I began pursuing my Post Graduate Clinical Mental Health Counseling Certification, and in March 2024, I launched my private practice, Transform Insight Therapy, PLLC.

My professional experience has provided me with a solid understanding of systems theory and exposed me to a variety of cultural perspectives, enabling me to approach each therapeutic relationship with an open, non-biased mindset. I deeply value the unique qualities each client brings to our therapeutic work and honor their freedom to explore their beliefs and worldview. To enhance my practice, I have received additional training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and continually seek opportunities for professional growth. With a deep understanding of early childhood development, adolescence, adulthood, and the complexities of relational dynamics throughout life, I have collaborated with nonprofit organizations in Williamson and Travis Counties to support individuals and families in accessing essential resources. My passion for therapy drives me to create a safe, welcoming, and nurturing environment where clients can heal, grow, and gain transformative insights.
