Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in San Antonio, TX. I received my Bachelor's and Master's in Psychology from Our Lady of the Lake University. I absolutely love what I do and the counseling field, which is why I'm also pursuing a PhD Counselor Education and Supervision.
I have two major passions in my work: 1) helping adults heal from past trauma and 2) helping teens struggling with depression, anxiety or self harm. With my adult clients, we focus on rewriting your story and learning skills to help you grow into the adult you needed back then. With my teen clients, we work towards understanding emotions and learning ways to manage or express them.
My therapeutic approach is strengths-based, trauma-informed, and collaborative, meaning you're the expert on your life. Your strengths, culture, and interests will be used as a foundation for our work. I utilize a blend of different types of therapy to best suit your needs, while also providing useful tips and tricks along the way.
In our first session together, we'll spend time discussing your story and your reasons for seeking help. We'll then explore how therapy can best help you and what you want from this experience.
I strive to make therapy collaborative while also providing some guidance and useful skills along the way. My personality is warm and compassionate, with a touch of dorkiness. I often have clients describe talking to me as like talking to one of their friends.
