I built this practice because I kept meeting women who had done the work (e.g. self-care, books, journaling) and still felt like something inside wasn’t shifting.

I built this space because I know what it means to carry a story that doesn’t fit into neat clinical language. I know what it means to need a place where the whole truth can breathe.

My Background

I am a:

  • Christian, a woman shaped by faith and the quiet work of becoming

  • mom shaped by an IVF journey, learning each day how identity and responsibility live alongside caring for others

  • Army veteran, formed by leadership, discipline, and the unspoken stories women carry in high‑responsibility roles

  • domestic violence survivor, someone who knows what it means to rebuild safety, voice, and self from the inside out

Professionally, I bring:

  • Ph.D., with nearly 20 years of clinical, academic, and program development experience

  • LPC‑Associate (Texas), supervised by Jennifer Smith, LPC-S

  • Founder of The Fertile Truth™

  • Co‑founder of Arabella Wellness Center

  • Specialized training in trauma, moral injury, reproductive grief, and women veterans

These chapters and experiences deepen the way I understand faith, resilience, responsibility, longing, and courage.

I understand the terrain because I’ve lived versions of it myself.

I show up direct but never rude, providing clear and honest insights.

I recognize that you are the expert of your own experience, and my role is to help you hear yourself more clearly.

I pay attention to what’s happening in your body, soul, and spirit, because alignment across all three is where real change takes root.
