Ava earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communication with a minor in Graphic Design from Texas A&M University in 2022. After working as a graphic designer for 3 years, she felt God prompting her to change careers and pursue a counseling degree. She is currently a graduate student at Dallas Theological Seminary, where she is completing her Master of Arts in Counseling. Ava considers it a privilege to walk alongside clients with care, humility, and intentionality as their therapist.
Ava is especially passionate about working with young adults and has experience supporting this demographic in a variety of settings: leading a church community group, discipling college students, and serving on Young Life staff alongside college volunteers. She desires to cultivate a counseling environment where clients feel safe, listened to, and known. Her approach is grounded in empathy and encouragement, as well as a belief in how our Creator sees and loves us. Ava is committed to helping clients navigate life’s challenges with hope and purpose.
Ava and her husband have lived in Austin since 2022. She can often be found outside with her husband and her dog, on a long walk, reading a book, coffee shop hopping, or spending time drawing and crafting. Most of all, she loves to spend time with her family and friends. After going to counseling for the first time in her early twenties, Ava saw how God can use the counseling space to transform lives. She is honored to now walk alongside others, pointing them toward Jesus and the hope of healing and restoration.
