COURAGE..

Sometimes problems in your life can seem overwhelming, and even though you might be insightful as to what is the issue, you just can't seem to find a way to fix them. It is often difficult to admit that you need help, that it is possible a sign of weakness, but in reality it is a very courageous decision.

COMFORT...

Choosing the right therapist is a very personal decision. I believe it is important to help you feel comfortable and truly at ease with me, which is one of the first important steps in making therapy successful. I am committed to helping you feel that you are not being judged, that I am actually listening to you, that I will give you honest feedback and will help you find the solutions to make your live the best it can possibly be. The greatest satisfaction I get from my work is to see someone make changes in themselves and finnaly achieve what they have wanted in the life.

CONFIDENCE...

I went to school at St. Mary's University in San Antonio, Texas and graduated with a Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I then obtained a license as a License as a Licnsed Professional Counselor, or LPC. I have worked for over 15 years in various settings, including residential treatment programs for adolescents, long term inpatient and outpatient programs for those with substance abuse problems, private practice, and Employee Assistance programs.

HOPE...

There are many issues that you may be facing, and the type of treatment I use combines well researched theories with strategies designed for each unique individual. Some of the areas I specialize in are:

Anxiet and stress	Relationship/marital problems
Depression	Domestic violence
Anger management	Blended families
Grief and loss	Parenting
Recovering from divorce	Acting-out teens
Women's issues	Pre-marital
Addictive behaviors	Divorce prevention
PTSD and trauma	Workshops

LOVE...

I have also been able to combine the two things I love the most - horses and counseling - into a part of my practice. I have been trained and certified in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, which is the use of horses in therapy, and have found this type of therapy to be extremely effective.
