Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Texas. I received both my Undergraduate degree in Social Work and Graduate degree in Social Work from Our Lady of the Lake University. I have spent most of my life in San Antonio Texas. I enjoy meeting new people and building relationships. I have experience in Community Out-Patient Therapy Clinics, In-Patient Psychiatric Hospitals, and Emergency Room Care. I have a non-judgmental, genuinely empathic, and positive regard approach to counseling.
I am here to assist you with guidance, compassion, and understanding. I believe that you are the expert in your life, and at times we all need help and healing. Healing from past traumatic events, relationship failures, and overall life stressors. I value and appreciate every encounter that we may have together; knowing the courage and vulnerability it takes to have these discussions. I look forward to meeting with you soon.
