TRICARE Therapists in San Antonio, TX

Have you tried traditional talk therapy and are looking for a more solution focused approach? Maybe you are just interested in your thoughts and feelings making more sense for you and NOT having to wait around for weeks to get an appointment. I am excited to work with those who are looking for real and lasting change and ways to clear out feelings such as anxiety, worry or reactions to past events. I provide knowledge and skills to understand how mind works and to begin feeling lighter, clearer and more focused immediately. Due to the accelerated nature of my counseling, I am usually able to offer openings within 7-10 days.

If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, confused, powerless, helpless to control life issues, a healthy first step toward realizing positive change in your life, is to invest in therapy. By discovering your strengths, gifts, and unique perception, we can begin utilizing these attributes toward effective thoughtful problem solving and decision making behaviors.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I aim to help clients work towards reaching their personal goals and equipping them with the tools possible for continuous growth. Reaching out for help is brave and courageous, and I commend you for taking the first step. I believe the client/counselor relationship is a collaborative partnership that facilitates a journey of self-discovery and wellness. I provide a safe, therapeutic space that is respectful and nonjudgmental.

If you’ve tried a lot of things to feel better, but your mind still attacks you or relationships always seem to go sour or you never quite feel at ease even when everything's OK, maybe it's time to look a little deeper. It's not that cutting out toxic people or getting a better job or upping your cardio won't help, because they probably will! But life is about more than just solving problems...right?

I strive to tailor treatment to a client’s specific needs by addressing their personal strengths to reach their goals. Focus is on changing problematic behaviors, feelings, & thoughts by discovering their meanings by challenging and replacing negative thinking patterns. I offer Diagnostic Assessments & testing to clarify or rule out specific diagnoses (ADHD, ASD, Substance Abuse); Psychological Evaluations to assess a person’s current level of cognitive, academic, emotional & social functioning & provide administration of The Anger-Aggression-Violence-Assessment AAVA.
