San Antonio, TX 78253
My special interests include trauma-focused care for children and adolescents, identity formation, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and self-harm.
Life can oftentimes feel overwhelming and if you have wished for an instruction manual or 'how-to' guide, you are not the first, nor will you be the last. My approach works to help you better understand how best to navigate the world around you, especially if the world was not built with you in mind. Together, we can develop the support, structure, and safety that you deserve while going through life. My practice is neurodivergence-affirming and queer-positive. I strive to foster an environment where you can belong, instead of one where you have to fit in.

I have experience working with trauma survivors, the mentally ill, homeless women, impoverished youth, grieving families, eating disorders, medically fragile children and adolescents.
I value your right to self-determination and will work closely with you to identify and clarify your goals. I will begin therapy where you are and move at a pace that you are comfortable with. This is not to say that there won't be times when I will challenge your thinking, offer new perspective and push for change, but I will always attempt to do so in a constructive, thoughtful and supportive manner.

Struggle is a part of life, but our struggles can often make life feel overwhelming, stifling, or meaningless. It’s all too easy to get stuck in patterns of living and relating that feel like endless repetitions of old models that seem to generate more problems than they solve. Whether your goal is healing from traumas, improving relationships, addressing complex mental health concerns, or striving for a deeper and more meaningful understanding of life and yourself, I believe that therapy can be an invaluable tool for exploration, healing, and growth.

You're stressed and exhausted from all you have to face. You’ve been following the same pattern with relief and progress out of reach. Maybe you believe a fresh perspective will get you closer to the shift you're needing. If you're ready for something different, therapy can give you a place to find your way. Yes, you're allowed to take a breath and get a fresh perspective so you can move forward instead of two steps back. You don't have to keep feeling broken; humans need connection in order to heal. I'm honored to witness your story, dig alongside you for solutions, and hold space as you reconnect with your vision, and values.
