My path to becoming a marriage and family therapist began in the classroom. Before entering the mental health field, I worked as a high school special education teacher, where I had the opportunity to support adolescents and their families through academic, developmental, and personal challenges. During that time, I began to recognize how deeply a young person’s well-being is connected to the relationships and systems around them. I saw a growing need for mental health professionals who could support not only individuals, but entire families. In 2024, I felt called to pursue that work more directly, leaving the classroom and joining a local behavioral health center while completing my graduate training in marriage and family therapy. I earned my Master of Marriage and Family Therapy from Abilene Christian University in 2026.

I especially enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, couples, and families. I have a particular heart for clients navigating seasons of transition: whether that means leaving high school and beginning college, entering the workforce, preparing for marriage, becoming a parent, or adjusting to other changes in identity, relationships, and family life. These seasons can be exciting, but they can also bring uncertainty, anxiety, changing family dynamics, and questions about what comes next. My goal is to help clients feel supported as they navigate those changes and build stronger relationships along the way.

I am also passionate about supporting individuals and couples throughout the family-planning journey. The decision to grow a family can bring a wide range of emotions, and experiences with fertility challenges, pregnancy, the perinatal period, and the transition into parenthood can affect both individuals and their relationships in profound ways. I hope to provide a compassionate and nonjudgmental space where clients can process these experiences, strengthen their connection with one another, and feel supported through both the expected and unexpected parts of their journey.

My clinical interests also include anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and ADHD. With my background in special education, I particularly enjoy working with children and adolescents with ADHD and supporting their families in better understanding one another. Rather than viewing concerns in isolation, I take a systemic and relationship-focused approach to therapy. I believe that each of us is shaped by our relationships, families, experiences, and environments, and that meaningful change often happens when we begin to understand how those pieces influence one another.

Above all, I want therapy to be a place where clients feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. I view the therapeutic relationship as a partnership and believe clients bring their own strengths, experiences, and expertise into the room. My role is not to tell you how to live your life, but to walk alongside you as we identify patterns, strengthen relationships, navigate challenges, and work toward meaningful change.

Outside of the therapy room, my favorite role is being a wife and mom. I love spending time with my husband, our son, and our three dogs. Cooking and baking are my favorite forms of self-care, and when I need to slow down and recharge, you can often find me taking a walk through one of San Antonio’s beautiful parks with my family.
