Welcome!

Thank you for considering counseling.

Aspire New Braunfels, PLLC is formed with the idea that we can all create wellness in our lives and that each one of us is capable of defining and accomplishing our own unique goals. Sometimes that may be moving forward in a logical or predictable way. Sometimes, what may look like a step backward is actually a step forward. Counseling is above all, a relationship in which a counselor walks beside you, listening to your story, offering support, and challenging you at key moments. It is very important that you choose someone who you trust and feel at ease with. Sometimes counseling may be short. It may help you to learn concrete skills to improve relationships, reduce stress, increase productivity or to improve other symptoms that have a negative impact on your life. It can also give support during a challenging transition or life event.

I believe that we, as individuals, have power over our thoughts and actions.  At the same time, we can be affected & troubled by outside influences, as we are closely interconnected with the world around us- from our friends, family, and community to the world at large.

As you work towards achieving your goals, I will help you gain awareness about your unique strengths- as well as obstacles that may hinder your progress.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas and earned my Masters degree in Counseling and Guidance from Texas State in 2009. Since then, I have worked in nonprofit agencies, alternative schools, and in private practice. I am continually attending new trainings and reading new material related to my clients and practice. In addition, I am trained in the Gottman Method and am a member of the American Counseling Association. I enjoy finding ways to integrate your interests into the counseling process. These can include art, music, books, writing, the great outdoors, and physical activity.

I look forward to hearing from you soon! I can be contacted in the following ways:
