Book a therapist or psychiatrist in San Antonio, TX covered by Aetna

Growing up as part of a military family, I have lived on opposite sides of the United States, the Midwest, and even lived internationally during college. Now, as a wife and mother, as well as working professional, I can relate to the joys, challenges, and everything in between which life brings. These experiences have not only helped make me who I am today, but assist in my ability to provide an empathic approach and understanding in my clinical practice.

Sometimes it can be easy to doubt ourselves, our worth, and our abilities. The experiences we have in life can lead us to having these painful beliefs and emotions, which can bring about feelings of shame, misunderstanding or despair. When we are able to overcome the shame and self-doubt, our true selves are able to be discovered. No matter what you’ve been through, you deserve to be appreciated and respected. My hope is to guide you in self-discovery and finding compassion for yourself that allows you to become the person that you desire to be. Allow me to guide you on your journey of healing and growth.

I work with all individuals ages 13+. My specialties are Trauma, Anxiety, and Depression. I enjoy bringing art into sessions whenever possible, due to the therapeutic benefits.
