I love working with people and I love being curious. I believe people are incredibly resilient and capable of change--it is very gratifying to witness people heal and grow and see themselves in a more loving light.
I am a Person-Centered counselor. Trust, authenticity, and genuineness are central to Person-Centered counseling. Beyond that, I focus on solutions, actions, strengths, and goals. Finally, all roads lead back to self-compassion.
I work with people who are "struggling to stay afloat" in their lives. That might mean you're dealing with depression or anxiety, lack of self-esteem and self-worth, relationship and communication troubles, addiction issues, or internal conflicts.
I offer 55-minute and 90-minute counseling sessions for adults and adult couples. Sessions are always kind, compassionate, and nonjudgemental.
Sessions conducted outside in the fresh air, using gentle movement. 55-minute and 90-minute outdoor walking therapy sessions tailored to your goals.
Located at 1032 S. Alamo St. in San Antonio's Southtown neighborhood--you can expect a comfortable and inviting space for in-person counseling.
Thich Nhat Hanh.
Everyone faces struggles and challenges in life. When those struggles become consuming, life can feel ungrounded, directionless, and oppressive. I am here to help you navigate through those feelings and get you back to your most authentic, loving, and empowered self.
I am most comfortable connecting with people experiencing persistent depression and troublesome anxiety, low self-esteem/self-worth, harsh internal criticisms, addiction issue, relationship and communication challenges, or those who feel directionless or uncomfortable in their own skin.
If you are ready to heal, grow, and reconnect with your most honest and supportive self, I would be honored to take that journey with you.
You are welcome to schedule a free 15-minute online consult with me. We’ll talk through what you’re looking for and what working together would look and feel like. Seeking counseling takes courage—I commend you for taking action and showing up for yourself.

Please email me if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Think of counseling as "growth and healing." We are addressing problems and challenges that almost every person faces at some point. You can expect a warm, safe, nonjudgemental energy combined with deep listening and genuine respect. We will also set goals, gain clarity, and track our progress. My aim is to deepen and ground the relationship you have with yourself so that you can experience a more authentic and connected way of being.
I do not work with children. I see teenagers (16-18), young adults, and adults. I also work with adult couples.
After your free online consultation, you can expect to start within 1-2 weeks based on availability. Generally, the process is simple and quick.
I am able to provide CBT-based therapy tailored to your needs and situation. We will collaborate on what works best for you.
55-minute counseling sessions are $150. Couples counseling sessions are 55-minutes and are $175. Walk & Talk sessions are $150 for 55-minutes and $185 for 90 minutes. I am in the process of accepting insurance. I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots based on need and availability. Please email with additional questions.
I plan on accepting Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, and Aetna at this time.
I accept credit/debit card, check, and cash. You can pay for sessions through a number of secure online and app-based portals. You can book sessions through email, text, or an online calendar. Yes, I offer free 15-minute online consultations. Email me to set up a free consultation.
Yes! I am happy to meet you online (or by phone) for our sessions.
It's like counseling but outside! For some, walking side-by-side, outside an office setting, can be more impactful. There is a subtle power in movement and walking. Connecting with the outdoors, fresh air, and light is an added bonus.
Light rain won't stop us. Heavy rain, unreasonable cold or heat will. If the weather is extreme, we will pause the session and communicate about a make-up. One benefit of early morning hours is that it won't be too hot during San Antonio summers! I offer Walk & Talk sessions on Fridays, from 7am-11am. Spots are limited to those hours.
You can expect to cover about a mile at a reasonable pace. I will tailor our pace to your needs and comfort. You need to be able to walk or move comfortably in an outdoor setting. This is not elevated heart rate exercise or strenuous exercise. This is casual walking in a peaceful, easy setting.
Confidentiality is very important in counseling. I will always protect and respect your privacy. Indoors or online, privacy/confidentiality is assured. If we are counseling outside, I cannot guarantee it because we will be walking and talking in public. I will make every effort to maintain privacy and discretion while acknowledging the limits of this type of therapy.
If you need to cancel, please communicate at least 24 hours in advance. If it less than 24 hours, you will be charged the full price for the session. All clients receive one "grace cancel." That means, I offer one free 24-hour-or-less cancellation. I will make every effort to ensure you are aware of my cancellation policy and I always encourage open communication. In short, my aim is to be reasonable while also respecting my time.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC), and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). I have a Masters of Science from UTSA. I am licensed in the state of Texas.
