I hold a master’s degree in counseling from St. Edward’s University in Austin, Texas, and a bachelor’s degree in transpersonal psychology from Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. Additionally, I have completed Level 1 training in EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and the Gottman Method.
Before becoming a counselor, I dedicated two decades to working as a birth and postpartum doula and massage therapist, attending hundreds of births in hospitals, homes, and birthing centers. As a childbirth educator for 15 years, I conducted classes and workshops on labor and delivery, postpartum adjustment, and parenting. I also co-founded Conscious Birthing Austin with Lanell Coultas and am a proud member of the Pregnancy & Postpartum Health Alliance of Texas.
