I became a psychotherapist to help support clients as they overcome obstacles in their lives. I have always known I wanted to help people.
Growing up, I wasn’t sure how I wanted to help people until I took my first psychology class in high school. It was then that I knew I wanted to become a therapist to help better the lives of those struggling in them. A little background on my story – I lost my father at the age of 11 to alcoholism and heart disease. Later in life, I came to acknowledge the impact it had on me and appreciate its significance in my life.
Prior to graduate school, I attended the University of Texas at Austin and earned a Psychology degree with a minor in Social Work. Since completing graduate school at Our Lady of the Lake University, I’ve been fortunate to work in a variety of different settings, which has provided experience across a broad range of areas. I’ve provided therapy for patients in both inpatient and outpatient hospital settings as well as offered non-profit work for a clinic providing free services to the uninsured.
Thank you for visiting my page to learn more about me. I look forward to learning more about you. Working collaboratively, you may overcome the obstacles that might feel overwhelming now, and you may come to appreciate the significance they’ve had on your life.
