I’ve spent 15+ years helping people heal—now I’ve been selected to help change the systems behind the struggle.

I’m honored to share that I’ve been selected to attend the LBJ Women’s Campaign School at the University of Texas at Austin—a highly respected program that equips women to lead, influence policy, and step confidently into spaces where decisions are made.

For over 15 years, I’ve been in the room with people on some of their hardest days—helping them navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. And what I’ve learned is this: many of the issues we treat in therapy don’t start in the therapy room…they start in systems. Systems that are under-resourced, misinformed, or simply not designed with people in mind.

I think about the high-functioning professional quietly burning out and the teen mislabeled as “problematic”—both examples of patterns shaped by policies that fail to provide needed mental health support.

That’s why this opportunity matters to me. Not just to show up—but to be effective in rooms where real decisions are being made. To bring a clinical lens, a community perspective, and a voice that understands both the emotional and practical realities people are living every day.

Every contribution goes toward making this opportunity possible. Your support will help cover:

This support will allow me to bring a clinical and community perspective to policy spaces and advocate for better mental health systems.

If you’ve ever been impacted by the work I do, supported the mission of mental wellness, or believe in expanding access to care—I’d be grateful for your support. Small contributions truly add up and help make this possible.

My deadline to raise funds is April 20, 2026.

If you feel led to give or share, thank you.
