I was born and raised in central Texas. I earned my Bachelor’s degree from Weber State University in 2019 and my Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh in 2023.

​

Before joining Diane Bauer and Associates, I worked as a Behavioral Health Therapist at the UPMC Matilda Theiss Center for Child and Adolescent Trauma, where I provided trauma-focused therapy to children and adolescents ages 5–18. I have also worked closely with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder across home, school, and community settings, helping to build skills in emotional regulation, social interaction, and daily functioning.

​

My clinical experience includes working with individuals across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, and adults. I have experience supporting clients with concerns related to anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, grief and loss, adoption, parenting challenges, and life transitions. I also work with adults coping with chronic illness or pain, high-stress professions, and concerns related to identity and faith.

​

I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy and draw from evidence-based practices to support each individual’s unique needs and goals. My aim is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel empowered to navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and improve their overall quality of life.
