I am the founder of Kaleidoscope Behavioral Health in Flower Mound, Texas,  Kaleidoscope Wellness in Key West, Florida, and I have a passion for guiding others. This driving force has made me a sought-after mental health professional, coaching expert and a business transformation leader. I am also known worldwide for my pioneering research on the effectiveness of Equine-Assisted Mental Health.

As a published author and international speaker, I am considered a thought leader on tackling contemporary issues that face everyone on a daily basis, such as: parenting, emotional pitfalls of social media, navigating anxiety/depression and the unique challenges women face.

I myself experienced a frightening and traumatic event as a passenger on the Carnival Triumph cruise ship that drifted for nearly a week in the Gulf of Mexico. This ordeal gave me personal knowledge of what it means to suffer from post-traumatic stress.

I hold a doctoral degree from the University of North Texas (UNT) where I studied and practiced counseling across the lifespan, Play Therapy and Equine-Assisted Mental Health at the UNT Child and Family Resource Clinic.

Currently, I offer adult virtual counseling and 1:1 Coaching. Working with me will give you the courage to take action and change your life for the better. Coaching is like having your own cheering squad—the guide you’ve always wanted. Though coaching, you’ll get clarity on what’s next, build confidence, and get honest feedback. My 1:1 coaching delivers expert guidance when it matters most.

You are braver than you think, more talented than you know, and capable of more than you can imagine! Believe in your infinite potential. Your only limitations are those you set upon yourself!

Fun Facts

I recently opened Kaleidoscope Wellness in the Florida Keys because there is so much power, strength and rejuvenation the ocean gives us. Kaleidoscope Wellness aka Scorpion Charters focuses on “personal wellness,” through the exposure to beautiful islands, tropical beaches, clear blue waters, and a steady ocean breeze. They not only make you feel better emotionally, they contribute to your physical wellbeing, reducing blood pressure and heart rate.

I continue to be a true foodie, world traveler and loves being outside, epically on the ocean. I am big into snorkeling, sailing and cosy outdoor dining. I also enjoys organic gardening, my veggie and flower gardens provide me with a creative canvas to nurture my soul.
