Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) Builds skills in self-kindness and compassion toward others. It is especially helpful for people who struggle with shame or self-criticism.
- Motivational Interviewing (MI) A collaborative, client-centered approach that strengthens motivation for change. It is especially effective for addictions and health behaviors.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
Approach Description: As a TF-CBT-trained therapist, I support clients in gently identifying, processing, and healing from the impacts of their experiences - always at a pace that feels right for them.

My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and truly supported as you begin your journey toward healing and growth in your life. Reaching out for help can feel overwhelming - so I strive to meet each person with compassion, understanding, and care from the very first conversation.
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Sociology from UTSA in 2021, and my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from UTSA in 2024. (Birds Up!) I work with adults (18+) who have experienced trauma, as well as those navigating anxiety, depression, and significant loss.
My approach is rooted in trauma-informed care, and I use evidence-based practices such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Person-Centered Therapy in my everyday practice. As a TF-CBT trained therapist, I support clients in gently identifying, processing, and healing from the impacts of their experiences - always at a pace that feels right for them.
I believe therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Together, we will create a path forward that honors your unique story, strengths, and goals. If you’re looking for a nonjudgmental, compassionate space to feel heard and supported, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
