Education & Credentials

A little bit about my education

Behind every counselor is a story of learning, training, supervision, and plenty of “okay, let’s figure this out,” “I’m so nervous,” and “oh, sh*t, I forgot to check my notes” 😖moments. Because behind the degree, the credentials, and the professional headshot are years of studying, second-guessing yourself, learning to sit with uncertainty, getting feedback, making mistakes, and slowly building the confidence to trust yourself in the room. 

Here’s a bit of my education and experience that shaped how I practice, without turning this into a resume.
  • Master’s Degree in Counseling - University of Houston, 2026
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology - University of Houston-Downtown, 2023
Professional Credentials
  • Licensed Professional Counselor Associate - #103242 (TX)
  • Supervised by Norma S Reyes, PhD, LPC-S - #71972 (TX)
  • Youth Mental Health First Aid - National Council for Mental Wellbeing
  • Certified Grief Informed Professional (Evergreen Certifications) (In Progress)
Community Work:
  • Bo's Place Support Group Facilitator - March 2026
  • The Book Cycle Volunteer

That’s the short version! I’m locking in :p and every experience has shaped the counselor I am today, and I’m grateful to those who contributed to my journey.
