LGBT therapists in Bulverde, TX

I bring a grounded, human approach to therapy shaped by a background in research psychology, a Humanist philosophy, and many years of life experience. Clients often appreciate that I show up as a real person: warm, thoughtful, and down-to-earth. You could say I’m an old hippie at heart, and I see that as part of what helps people feel comfortable, understood, and accepted.

I earned my M.Ed. in Counselor Education from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, LA. My path into the counseling field has been shaped by a deep passion for both the healing process and holistic wellness. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work in various levels of care, including residential and intensive outpatient settings, where I gained invaluable clinical experience and a deeper appreciation for mental health care..

My practice started out of a deep desire to help heal trauma passed down through generations. As a child of two trauma survivors myself, I know that these wounds can begin in childhood and follow us well into our adult lives. My goal is to work together to notice and intervene in harmful patterns that keep us trapped in cycles of pain and heartbreak.

Professionally, I have spent a decade in education (five years as a classroom teacher and five years as a school counselor). This is my third year as a therapist outside of the school setting.

For my masters degree, I attended Texas State University in San Marcos, TX (Eat 'em up cats!). At Texas State, I completed my MA in Professional Counseling with two focuses: school counseling and clinical mental health.

As a former educator, the populations I support include adolescents, young adults, educators, parents/guardians, and caretakers.

I've been a licensed professional counselor for over 10 years, working with adults and teens. I specialize in trauma, depression, and anxiety and use a variety of techniques to help my clients. I received my Masters degree at the University of North Texas and have specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of experience partnering with adolescents, adults of all ages and families. I am bilingual so I offer therapy in english and spanish.
