About Me

Psychotherapist, Bass Guitar Enthusiast, Big Sister,

Photographer, Prius lover, Ally

If I were given three wishes, it would be to eliminate shame completely, re-think capitalism and be able to eat fresh tortillas with butter every day for the rest of my life without any health risks.

How Did I Get Here?

Born and raised in San Antonio, TX, from the age of 10 it was clear my heart was in service of people. My work journey started in restaurants at 16, where 15 years in the service industry evolved into a 12-year wedding photography career and in 2014 I began my college path at Texas State University at 29 years old. I majored in Psychology and Philosophy and then on to receive my Masters in Clinical Mental Health and then finally my license in Professional Counseling.

I am also a proud big sister of 3 of my favorite people on this planet.

I am committed to LGBTQIA+ equality and support all expressions

of gender and sexual identities. Poly/ENM and Kink informed and affirming.
