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.

My personal view? That one size definitely does not fit all.
The issues and concerns that individuals are seeking to address include, but are not necessarily limited to, post-traumatic stress disorder, other trauma experiences, adjustment and life transition issues, grief, family conflict, stress, anxiety, depression, couples’ issues and conflict, and bipolar disorder. These issues and concerns often impact our ability to function effectively in our individual lives and in our relationships both personal and professional.
