WELCOME TO HEYLO


HEYLO is more than an organization to me—it is my life’s purpose. HEYLO exists to support women of all ages as they navigate and overcome the inner and outer obstacles that stand between them and their hopes, healing, and dreams. Through encouragement, practical guidance, workshops, life groups, mentoring, and supportive services, we walk alongside women as they rediscover purpose, build confidence, and rebuild their lives.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and provide professional counseling in a separate clinical capacity. My counseling work supports individuals navigating trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, and emotional healing, using evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches.

My personal journey has included teenage pregnancy, single parenting, abusive relationships, and seasons of self-defeating behaviors. Through faith, family, and intentional inner work, I have experienced healing and transformation. I welcome women from all backgrounds without judgment and strive to create a safe, compassionate space for growth and change. Because of both my lived experience and professional training, I am deeply committed to supporting women on their paths toward healing and wholeness.
