Master of Social Work, The University of Texas Rio Grande
Philosophy of Care 
What I love the most about child and family mental and behavioral therapy is knowing that therapy can be the turning point in someone’s life, offering them the hope and support they may have been holding on to. It’s a privilege to be part of a journey that can lead to healing, growth, and lasting positive change.

Families
Fun Fact 
I have three dogs and they’re all named after flowers (including my male dog)! Tulip, Lotus, and Poppy.
At Home 
I enjoy arts and crafts (using my Cricut). My favorite activity is going for an outdoor walk.
Words of Wisdom 
Healing is not linear, and that is completely okay. Every step forward, no matter how small, is still progress.
