Tell us a little about your journey to becoming a counselor. Where did you go to school? What are your degrees in? Are you originally from the Rockwall area?
I am originally from San Antonio and attended school at Texas Tech and UH Clear Lake. Although I worked in the mental health field for many years prior to having a family, after achieving my masters in counseling, I decided to take time to raise our children and did not return to counseling until about 10 years ago. It is so rewarding and I’m so glad I did!
What type of therapy are you most passionate about? Why?
I am passionate about helping teen girls and women find their purpose in life, especially those that struggle with depression, anxiety and low self-worth. I struggled with those things myself as a teen and have found myself having come full circle now that I have the blessing to serve my clients
If you could have any job besides the one you have now, what would you want to be doing?
Own a ranch and lots of animals!
What do you feel the biggest struggle facing your clients is?
Many of the clients I serve don’t know who they really are, what their gifts are, or where their identity lies. I have found that once I help a client to identify those, they SOAR!
What is one piece of advice you would give your younger self?
God has a purpose for your life. Just trust in Him.
Are you a dog person or a cat person?
Dog! We have two and I can’t imagine my life without them. I am also a horse person. My horse, Teddy is 30 years old and we spend time together daily
What’s your favorite place to go out to eat in Rockwall?
Zanata's
What do you like to do in your free time?
I love taking walks with my husband. We try to do that almost every day. I treasure it.
What’s your favorite time of year?
Summer! I love it because I can see my kids more, and I love the hot weather.
What is your favorite place to visit?
I took each of our teenage kids on separate occasions on a spontaneous trip to NYC last year... only 2-3 days but it was lots of fun and such an adventure!
If you could have dinner with one person, living or dead, who would it be and why?
I would love to meet actress, Jennifer Garner. Supposedly we look alike, but more importantly, I love her personality and the character roles she plays
