5 fun facts about me

1. I found my cat Chauncey in a car engine in Columbia, Missouri during my undergraduate years. She bit me through my finger nail, and I still kept her! She’s way less skittish now, but still bites.

2. I started Dallas Healing House because I wanted to create a warm, peaceful environment for clients AND counselors. I wanted to form a practice where our counselors collaborate, support, and respect one another, and wouldn’t you know—it makes us more effective in supporting our clients! We learn from one another and have some fun while doing so.

3. Girls, Big Little Lies, and Broad City are some of my favorite shows. I pretty much love any show, movie, or book about friendships between women because I’ve found my friends to be so incredibly important in my own life.

4. The best part of my job is getting to be in a therapeutic relationship with some of the bravest, coolest people around. The hardest part of my job is scheduling and tedious business stuff. Dates and numbers are a big challenge for me (just ask the other counselors).

5. I love cartoon cats like Hello Kitty and Pusheen. You’ll know it’s me on our Instagram stories if you see any cat graphics.
