Get To Know Me
If you could pick one movie or book that influenced your approach to therapy, what would it be and why?
A Man's search for meaning is a book that inspired my counseling journey and definitely a read for those interested. The book follows the struggles and challenges of a holocaust survivor who eventually became a prominent voice in the mental health counseling community. Our past experiences are a part of who we are, but do define who we can become.

Education
St. Mary's University, Doctorate of Philosophy, Counseling, Education, and Supervision, 2026 — Counseling Education and Supervision (CES) is an advanced doctoral-level degree that focuses on counseling, mental health treatment, counselor training, and clinical supervision.
For clients, this means your therapist has received extensive education beyond a master's degree, including advanced training in evidence-based therapies, assessment, ethics, multicultural counseling, and complex mental health concerns. CES-trained therapists are also educated in teaching and supervising other counselors, which often reflects a deep understanding of the counseling process and current best practices in the field. Many clients find reassurance in working with a therapist who has specialized doctoral training and a strong commitment to ongoing learning, professional development, and providing thoughtful, high-quality care tailored to each person's unique needs.
Texas A & M San Antonio, Master of Science in Counseling, Community Mental Health Counseling, 2013 — A Master's degree in Community Mental Health Counseling prepares therapists to provide compassionate, evidence-based care for individuals facing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and relationship challenges. This graduate-level training includes counseling theory, human development, assessment, diagnosis, ethics, multicultural counseling, and evidence-based treatment approaches. Community Mental Health counselors are also trained to understand how family, culture, trauma, and life experiences influence mental health. For clients, this means working with a therapist who is equipped to provide personalized care, foster meaningful growth, and create a safe, supportive space where healing and lasting change can take place.
