Get To Know Me

What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?

I have always wanted to spend my time doing things that mattered. To me, helping others is the best way to feel fulfilled in my work and life. Having others encourage me along the journey has helped as well, so I try to pass that encouragement on to others.

If there was one thing you wish people knew about the therapy experience who might be hesitant to try it, what would that be?

It can absolutely feel uncomfortable at first and sometimes during therapy, but the powerful effect of not keeping your problems and emotions to yourself anymore is hard to underestimate. Problems grow when internalized and not dealt with. When you get them into the open in a safe space like therapy, they start to lose their hold on you.

What would be important for someone to know about working with you?

I like to think of ideas and practical things you can try between sessions. I am a deep thinker and am on the less talkative side. People describe me as genuine, caring, and calming. Depending on what we are treating, we may try different activities during the sessions such as exposure exercises for phobias and art or games for children or adolescents. I try to tailor my sessions to your needs while providing guidance according to my training.

Texas State University, Master of Social Work, Social Work, 2015

Union College, Bachelor of Science, Social Work and Psychology, 1998

Work HistoryI started my journey in social work working in a group home setting with adolescent boys who had severe behavior disturbances. Next, I worked as a family advocate with Early Head Start, focusing on providing support and education to at-risk families with very young children. I was a mental health clinical social worker for four years on the Mexican border in both the acute inpatient and outpatient setting. The people we served suffered from severe manifestations of mental illnesses such as Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, and Schizoaffective Disorder as well as severe Major Depression. This helped me understand mental illness and also deepened my understanding of Mexican culture. After a break to be with my kids when they were little, I returned to school for my master's degree and then worked in dialysis clinics supporting patients as they adjust to the life-changing demands of a serious health condition. I opened my private practice doing online and in-person therapy in April of 2022. In private practice, I help people with a variety of issues such as life stressors, coping with anxiety and depression, and relationship issues.
