I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families from various walks of life. I have worked with clients/ patients in out-patient treatment, partial out-patient treatment, in-patient residential treatment and in-patient acute settings. I have also worked with at-risk youth looking to make a new life for themselves and parolees
and probationers looking to make a turn for the better in their lives. I am experienced in working with family units, couples, and individuals. I am formally trained in working with couples, individuals, and families, as I am a graduate of the Marriage and Family Therapy program of Our Lady of the Lake University. I use various techniques in my practice to help build trust and rapport with my clients. Such techniques employed include, but are not limited to: art and play, cognitive-behavioral, and solution-focused theory, in addition to aspects of Christian counseling. I enjoy helping my clients find a new perspective for themselves; the moment they realize that they can make better choices for themselves or that things really are not as bad they seem. My role as a therapist is to be an empathetic listener and build trust and rapport through our relationship, providing a safe environment for the transmission of intimately private information to be disclosed, and begin the process of healing. I believe the client has the answers within them; all they have to do is be still and listen for these answers. As an unbiased listener, I hope to help the client find these answers, and in so doing, discover clarity and hope. I began my practice as an independent practitioner on the southside of San Antonio in March 2009. I am now seeing clients on the northeast side of San Antonio in Universal City. I am conveniently located near Schertz, Cibolo, Selma, and Live Oak.
