Licensed Clinical Social Worker in San Antonio
I am a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. Since earning my Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin in 2010, I have specialized in mental health counseling, focusing on evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, and EMDR. My practice centers on creating a safe, collaborative space where clients can address depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and chronic illness-related challenges. With extensive experience working alongside individuals facing terminal diagnoses and their families, I bring deep empathy and specialized knowledge to every session. My approach prioritizes meeting clients exactly where they are, fostering personal growth through nonjudgmental support and tailored therapeutic strategies.I hold advanced training in solution-focused brief therapy and grief counseling, ensuring comprehensive care for diverse client needs. Committed to ethical practice, I maintain strict confidentiality while offering transparent communication about treatment processes. My goal is to empower clients to build resilience, improve relationships, and achieve meaningful life changes through personalized therapeutic partnerships. I welcome individuals from all backgrounds, including those navigating gender dysphoria, life transitions, and sandwich-generation caregiving responsibilities. By combining clinical expertise with compassionate listening, I help clients develop practical coping skills and work toward their fullest potential.
