Everyone needs someone in their life to help validate their feelings and experiences. We tend to focus more on our physical body than on our thoughts. Sometimes we may feel depressed or anxious without knowing the reason. Sometimes everything can be perfect in your life yet you still feel this sadness. This is not uncommon and talking to a therapist can help. I use a holistic approach when working with my clients. I provide a safe space with acceptance of who you are. I help my clients create goals for themselves and then we work on accomplishing them together. In 2005, I began working in the mental health field by volunteering as a domestic violence advocate for a local women's shelter. My passion for helping people only grew after this experience. I graduated from Texas State University with a bachelor's degree in Psychology and continued my education by obtaining a master's degree in Counseling from St. Edwards University. I'm now a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). Past experiences include working at community mental health clinics, community colleges and universities, as well as private practice.
