About Me

In 2015 I walked the Camino de Santiago, a footpath that leads from the tip of southern France, over the Pyrenees Mountains, and all the way across Spain. During that magical time, I met people from 44 countries and had many satisfying, challenging, and occasionally profound moments. The path ends on the Spanish coast, overlooking a roiling Atlantic Ocean. During that journey, I realized the subtle power of walking, the value of connection, and how to live in the present. I also learned to trust the kindness of others. I carried that spirit forward and have continued carrying it forward into my professional life in San Antonio. 

I believe people are entirely capable of positive change. I believe in the healing power of genuine connection with others. And I believe strongly in nurturing a loving, compassionate relationship with one's self. Doing this work, I have discovered over and over that all roads like back to compassion toward one's self. 

Currently, I work with people who are "struggling to stay afloat." That might mean you're dealing with depression or anxiety, lack of self-esteem and self-worth, relationship and communication troubles, addiction issues, or issues sometimes specific to men. 

During our sessions, we will journey side-by-side, aiming to reconnect you to your most authentic, loving self. I always provide a kind, safe, compassionate environment and counseling that non-judgmental and grounded in deep respect for you. 

I am a licensed professional counselor, a licensed addictions counselor, and a Nationally Certified Counselor. I graduated with a Masters in Science from UTSA and live with my family in Central San Antonio. I love creativity, exercise, art and music, animals and nature, and strong, supportive communities.
