My specialty focuses on problems with addiction and mood regulation type disorders.
Having spent most of my life in San Antonio, TX, my journey into mental health began with a Bachelors degree from the University of Northern Iowa in Psychology, which inspired me to come back home to San Antonio, TX and pursue a Master's in counseling. My passion lies in helping others, driven by a deep understanding that often, what people need most is a non-judgmental and unbiased person who is willing to listen to them. I strive to be that supportive presence, offering a safe space where individuals can express themselves and feel truly heard and understood.

" ADDICTION & DEPENDENCY result from an unconscious refusal to move through the pain of withdrawal (from a chemical, thought-process, behavior, other person, etc.).
Unhealthy “self-regulation” (finding a place of being okay) happens in almost as many ways as there are people; what IS the same for us all, however, is the need to feel “safe” in our connections with others and ourselves. This essential, biological, human-need lays under most of our behaviors. Bringing this understanding to the surface is my first goal....

Whether it’s depression, trauma and PTSD, addiction, or other difficulties, life can take us down roads we may struggle to accept or not know how to overcome.
Through an approach called Story Informed Trauma Therapy, I work with my clients to explore the hills and valleys that led them to where they are today. In the process, we begin to uncover the root of those unhelpful coping skills and false lessons that continue to get in the way, so that we can apply the best treatment for true and lasting healing.

My main areas of specialty are anxiety disorders, mood disorders, addiction and trauma.
Does peace feel out of reach and impossible to imagine right now? Peace is crucial to our quality of life and integral to navigating life’s complexities and challenges. All too often we are in a silent war with ourselves and our brain and thought life can lead us to dark emotional places. Feelings of worthlessness, shame, anger, grief, and resentments chisel away at our vitality. All that remains is a heavy tiredness and sense of hopelessness that can make us feel incredibly alone. We are not created to handle soul crushing experiences on our own.
