I work with children, teens, parents, young adults, and families (nuclear, separation/divorce, and blended). Counseling is BIG stuff, and it takes courage to start the process. I believe that each of us has the ability to make powerful, positive, growth-oriented changes in their lives. I strive to build a relationship of trust with my clients so we can tackle life's chaos and challenges. Unique to me, I like to employ humor into my sessions and engage with my clients through different modalities aside from traditional talk therapy including games, art, music, and writing.
I love getting to work with children/teens and their caregivers because it can not only improve their relationship and connection but also better support the child in reaching their goals. With that in mind, I take a collaborative approach to therapy and work towards providing the family with support while meeting my clients individual needs.
I was born and raised here in Texas, and for my undergraduate and Graduate school degree went to The University of Texas at San Antonio, where I earned my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Outside of work, I enjoy watching movies, hiking with my dog Artimus, going on adventures with my friends and family, kickboxing, and listening to live music.
