About Me.

I bring over six years of experience working with clients ranging from ages 3 to 80. My passion for helping others began during my college years at Florida International University, where I earned my B.A. in Psychology in 2014. During that time, I was actively involved in outreach work with young women—helping them build confidence, challenge negative self-beliefs, and embrace their worth. I enjoyed helping individuals become excited about their future and feeling better about themslves. This work sparked a pivotal question for me: “What profession could I have where I can do more of this?”

​

I’ve always been deeply curious about the human mind—how we think, feel, and interact with one another in different social contexts. I found it fascinating to learn how our experiences with family members and early relationships leave a lasting imprint on who we are—shaping our beliefs, behaviors, and self-perception, often without us even realizing it. I knew that by becoming a therapist, I could help individuals gain the insight they need to understand those “how’s” and “why’s,” empowering them to heal and grow.

​

I received my M.A. in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling with a certification in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2019 from the University of South Florida. In the summer of 2021, I made the bold decision to relocate to Houston, Texas, seeking new opportunities. I’ve since worked in diverse settings including schools, hospitals, non-profit agencies, and group practices.

​

I desired to create a space of my own—one where I could guide clients in rediscovering and redefining who they are, building their inner self-worth, and transforming their thought processes in a safe and compassionate environment. That vision became reality in early 2023 when I launched Getting Rid Of Old Ways PLLC, a private practice dedicated to helping individuals step outside their comfort zone, embrace authenticity, and create a life rooted in self-love and mental stability.
