About
I am a patient, organized person who loves to help children succeed in areas that they have difficulty in. I dealt with adversity as a child and my counselors helped me to have hope and direction to come through those trials. My desire is to achieve my LPC so that I can help children and families find hope and recover from their trauma. They can have a joyful life no matter what they are going through. I I am blessed to share my story and have been given opportunities to find my passion while helping at church, babysitting in my community and volunteering at a family guidance center for families without financial means to get mental health treatment. This is when I knew that I could combine my experience and trauma with a lifelong career to help children in similar situations.
My passion is helping children. Through my experience working in childcare and tutoring, I am confident I am able to help children stay motivated, organized, and meet set goals in an encouraging, safe environment. I am able to understand and communicate well with parents, to help them feel at peace with the process.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
I intend to finish with my Masters in Mental and Clinical Health Counseling. As well as continue to get my LPC with an emphasis in School Counseling and Sand Tray Certification.
- Graduate school interests
My goal is to work in a clinical setting, like the Child and Family Guidance Center, in my rural hometown of Sherman Tx . The center is a place where families, with low economic means, are encouraged to grow and develop skills to live a mentally healthy life. Their goal is to assist children and families from varied backgrounds in finding solace, recovery, and rebuilding a healthy lifestyle. I hope to add my services to the Texoma community with this clinic or one like it. I want to specialize in working with children and their families who suffer from traumatic events so that I can help to relieve the mental distress they are experiencing through counseling.
