Spring Branch

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the San Antonio and surrounding areas. I received my Masters degree in counseling from Texas A&M University, San Antonio. I come from an eclectic therapeutic approach, bringing my understanding and experiences to my clients through Person Centered Therapy, play therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused and Reality Therapy. My focus is with adolescents and adults, joining them to process through many of life's ups and downs such as behavioral difficulties, life adjustments, addiction and trauma. I have spent the last four years in a clinical setting with adolescents, adults and active duty military processing through trauma and PTSD. I am passionate in creating a safe place for each of my clients to work collaboratively towards their personal and therapeutic goals while addressing life’s challenges. I believe, with a healthy therapeutic relationship, one can explore and bring to the surface their own path and hearts desire. You are the expert on your life and when you feel stuck, lost and alone, I want to help you rediscover your direction.

After graduating from the University of Texas at San Antonio in 2002 with a Masters in Counseling, I began my counseling career working in the public education setting. I obtained my LPC and LCDC licensure in 2015 and offer Solution Focused Therapy that is Person Centered. My counseling is designed to help clients succeed in overcoming the obstacles that interfere with their ability to obtain their goals and/or achieve their maximum potential. I am a firm believer that all individuals benefit from having a safe place where they are free to develop the skills needed to meet the complex challenges that arise in life.  I work with both adolescents and adults and specialize in all things addiction related, co-parenting counseling, and recovery from trauma.

I graduated with an MS in Psychology from Our Lady of the Lake University, and hold an Executive Certificate while enrolled in my PhD in Developmental Psychology. I have been a psychotherapist for 4 years as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. In my preparation to be a clinician I learned equality for all and that everyone's story is unique. I am here to understand your story and bring to light the future hope it entails. I have worked with many populations such as LGBTQ+, Military, Adolescents and Couples. I specialize in family, couples, and individuals ages 10+. My focus has been on depression, anxiety, bi-polar, relationships, and crisis situations and many other symptoms of mental health discomfort. I work through Solution Focused and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques while seeking other treatments that you find effective. My therapy incorporates communication skills, support, respect and understanding through building trust so together we accomplish your goals. Ultimately,  I want to help you navigate your goals that are important to you to help you live your best life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Board Certified Art Therapist with over 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and their families in a variety of inpatient, outpatient, and

community-based settings. Most of my career has been working within the pediatric medical setting, where individuals can often feel heightened anxiety, depression, lack of control, family conflict, and grief/loss. Through the use of Art Therapy and a client-centered approach, I aim to help my clients process their

thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe, welcoming, and creative environment. When words are not enough, we can use various visual art materials such as paint, clay, glue, pastels, and more to explore our inner selves. I strive to meet you where you are, walk with you through your journey, and help you achieve your goals.

As a graduate level student in Marriage and Family Therapy, I am passionate about walking with people as they navigate their story. I appreciate the journey each individual has taken to get them where they are now, and believe each struggle is unique. My hope is to create a meaningful connection with each person, so that together we can work towards healing and growth. 

My many years of experience in a hospital setting has led me to be more compassionate, supportive, and interested in each dilemma that presents itself. With collaborative work between clients and myself, each topic that comes into the therapy space is given the time and commitment it deserves. Life can be full of scary or frustrating moments, I strive to offer a safe environment for each person to feel safe speaking about their concerns. 

In 2021 I graduated from Oregon State University with my Bachelors in Psychology, and am currently gaining my Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. 

I hope to gain experience working with couples, families, individuals, and children through a solution focused lens.  Navigation through the issues, and finding a collaborative way to find a solution will be important. I look forward to helping clients find their inner strength, and work towards their goals in a safe and accepting space.

In my free time, I enjoy painting, being a mom to my two energetic kids, listening to interesting podcasts, and hiking out in nature as often as possible.
