Welcome — I’m the Founder and CEO of MentalThrive LLC, where movement and mindset come together to support personal growth. My journey began in Belize and continued in the U.S., where I earned degrees in Psychology and Spanish, followed by a master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, graduating summa cum laude. I also hold DVIDA honors in ballroom dance, a reflection of my belief in the power of movement to inspire transformation.

With certifications in Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Mindfulness, Special Education Needs, and early childhood mental health, I’ve spent years helping individuals — from teens to adults — navigate emotional challenges, substance use, grief, and more. My coaching approach is intuitive, practical, and always tailored to your goals.

I’m not here to replace therapy. I’m here to walk alongside you — helping you build confidence, clarity, and connection through thoughtful coaching and purposeful movement.

 

“Each new dawn heralds a rebirth…” — Inspired by Buddha

Hi! I began my journey in the U.S. Air Force, specializing in hospitality and logistics. After my service, I helped grow startups in Oxford, MS as a Business Development Consultant, then brought creative energy to PMQ Pizza Magazine by launching a video platform. I earned my Business Administration degree from the University of Mississippi with a focus in Management Information Systems.

For over a decade, I’ve thrived where technology, strategy, and customer experience meet — leading initiatives that drive real impact. I’m passionate about clear communication, empowering teams, and delivering standout results.

 

“Blaze your own trail, leave your mark.” — Inspired by Emerson

With a master’s in Counseling and years of hands-on experience in high school settings, I’ve poured my heart into helping students grow—not just academically, but emotionally and in their life paths. I’ve led college application workshops that demystify the process and empower students to dream big, built data-driven schedules to make sure no one falls short of graduation, and sat with teens in some of their hardest moments, offering one-on-one support through mental health challenges and crises. Every step of the way, my goal has been to nurture their resilience, celebrate their wins, and walk alongside them toward a future they can be proud of.
