I am the proud founder and CEO of Kaleidoscope Behavioral Health and Kaleidoscope Wellness, and my passion lies in empowering and guiding others. Over the years, I have established myself as a highly regarded authority in mental health and parenting and as a trailblazer in business transformation. My groundbreaking research on the efficacy of Equine-Assisted Mental Health has garnered global acclaim and brought hope and healing to countless individuals.
As an author with published works and a sought-after speaker at international conferences, I am committed to tackling critical issues that therapists and individuals grapple with daily. My areas of focus include parenting, relationships, teen suicide, trauma, anxiety, depression, and the complexities of social media in all our lives.
My personal encounter with a harrowing and traumatic incident as a passenger aboard the Carnival Triumph cruise ship, which was adrift for nearly a week in the Gulf of Mexico, has given me firsthand insight into trauma and 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 Coaching. Working with me will give you the courage to take action and improve your life. 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 coaching delivers expert guidance when it matters most.
I’m eagerly looking forward to connecting with you, who, like me, are seeking support and aiming to grow in your personal strengths. Your unique perspectives and experiences are invaluable, and I can’t wait to hear from you.

Fun Facts
I enjoy tending to my organic vegetable and flower gardens in my leisure hours. These serene spaces serve as a means of creative expression and a source of profound spiritual nourishment. Additionally, nothing compares to the profound sense of tranquility I experience while cruising the vast expanse of the ocean alongside my beloved husband aboard our sleek and elegant catamaran.
