As a therapist, I specialize in trauma recovery and the treatment of phobias, using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with children, adolescents, and young adults ages 5 to 25. Together, we’ll work to uncover strengths, build resilience, and find practical tools to help you or your child move forward.
In addition to EMDR, I’m trained in multiple trauma-informed approaches, including Sandtray Therapy and Play Therapy. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all method to healing, so I tailor my approach to meet each client’s unique needs and preferences.
I also offer parent support through dedicated "Parent Sessions," where I provide coaching, education, and guidance to help families support their child’s growth and healing at home. I view therapy as a family-centered process — not just individual work — and I'm passionate about empowering caregivers along the way.
I provide both in-person and virtual sessions through Bending Willows Wellness PLLC in the San Antonio area. I am licensed in Texas and offer virtual therapy to clients across the state. Virtual sessions are available for ages 8 and up, while children ages 5–7 are seen in person.
I help clients work through anxiety and trauma in a way that feels human, supportive, and grounded. Therapy doesn’t have to feel cold or clinical—I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where healing can actually happen.
My approach is holistic, combining emotional processing with practical tools for everyday life. It’s not just about understanding the past—it’s about building the skills you need to thrive in the present. I tailor my work to each person’s unique needs, especially when supporting trauma survivors, neurodivergent individuals (including those with ADHD or autism), and those managing PTSD, trauma or grief.
I truly believe in the process of healing, growth, and accountability that therapy can provide. Are you looking for a space to learn more about yourself, function better, and find more fulfillment in your life? I would be honored to walk alongside you. I sometimes joke that therapy can work to “retrain your brain,” but there is truth to that statement. Let’s find a way to increase your peace and mindfully create goals to work towards the future you have in mind.
As a special needs dad, a former Spanish teacher, former school counselor (MEdSC), and nurse (MSN), I bring a broad range of experiences to my clients. As a nurse, I have worked PACU, ER, and geriatrics. My goal is to work with the client to reach their goals through the use of counseling, supplements, and medication as needed. I enjoy using belief systems as part of my counseling if desired.
Like many providers, I have worked with many clients with depression, mania, and anxiety. As a previous teacher/school counselor, I understand the impact of ADHD on the student, the classroom, the teacher, and the family.
I think it is important for prospective clients to know that I want to help both now and in the future. For this reason, there are drugs that I don't prescribe (stimulants and benzos) because of the long-lasting side effects.
My hobbies include playing the piano, singing, gardening and family.
Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist offering therapy to individuals and couples. I received my Masters in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University Los Angeles with an emphasis in Spiritual and Depth Psychology. I traveled to Japan to study Mindfulness from a Zen buddhism lens. I have worked with a variety of individuals ranging from toddlers to older adults, which has allowed me to develop a versatile process that helps the client wherever they may be on their life path.
Hi! I'm so glad you found your way here. Therapy is often the first step to becoming the best version of ourselves! Depending on where you are my approach is to help you define the life you want, set goals and support your efforts through talk therapy. Sometimes that means unpacking past trauma, other times it means focusing on the here and now! Together we will decide what's best based on where you are currently and where you'd like to see yourself in 30, 60, 90 days and beyond!
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I hold a Bachelors of Science in Psychology from James Madison University. I also hold a Master's degree and Educational Specialist degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from James Madison University. I have provided outpatient counseling services in multiple community settings including higher education, military counseling centers and veteran's counseling centers.
"More than just listening—real tools for real change."
You shouldn’t have to walk out of therapy wondering, “What was the point of that?” But far too many people do. I can’t tell you how often I hear, “My last therapist just nodded and listened... but nothing actually changed.”
That’s not how I work.
Therapy with me isn’t about endlessly rehashing your past without a plan. It’s about creating real momentum. Yes, I’ll listen deeply—because your story matters—but I won’t stop there. Together, we’ll identify the patterns that are keeping you stuck, and I’ll show you exactly how to challenge them with evidence-based tools that work in the real world, not just in theory.
Every session is designed to give you something solid: a breakthrough insight, a practical strategy, a new way of seeing yourself that leaves you feeling just a little more capable, a little more hopeful, and a lot more empowered.
This is therapy with traction. We’ll get into the hard stuff—but we’ll also focus on what’s next. I’ll help you build skills to regulate your emotions, navigate relationships, set boundaries, quiet that inner critic, and stop repeating the same frustrating cycles. You don’t have to settle for simply surviving. We’ll work toward something better: clarity, confidence, and real change that lasts beyond the therapy room.
