About
Through both personal and professional experience, I bring a compassionate, grounded understanding of how life’s challenges and transitions shape emotional well-being, and I work collaboratively with clients to build skills that support healing, resilience, and meaningful change.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 4 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and stress related to health or family dynamics. I have experience in both medical and therapy settings and offer compassionate, culturally responsive care that honors each client’s values and lived experiences.
I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. My approach is collaborative and strength-based, grounded in acceptance and commitment therapy. I help clients better understand their thoughts and emotions while building practical coping skills that support meaningful, values-driven change.
If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin, therapy can be a supportive next step. I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard and accepted. Together, we will move at a pace that feels right for you and work toward greater balance, resilience, and growth.

As a woman who has experienced stress, loss, and trauma, I understand the impact of painful life circumstances and how they challenge us to grow, to build skills, adapt, move forward, and thrive.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience. I bring a compassionate, solution-focused approach to my work. My clients are navigating anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, life transitions, or grief and loss. They want to learn coping skills, reduce symptoms, gain self-awareness, heal from past trauma, process grief, and improve communication skills in relationships. Together, we focus on developing self-insight, identifying triggers, and building healthy coping skills to process painful emotions and overcome challenges. I help clients gain the tools and confidence to make positive changes, achieve goals, and move forward to balanced lives.
I earned a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Texas. My therapeutic style integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and solution-focused therapy to support clients in achieving meaningful change. I believe you are the expert of your own story and that you possess many strengths to help you overcome life’s challenges.

My go-to approach for treating anxiety is implementing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I find the best benefit in CBT because it allows the client to learn specific tools to better cope with anxiety symptoms.
In anxiety therapy, I teach the following tools:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in anxiety therapy when they are able to use their learned coping skills in situations they previously avoided due to anxiety.
Clients can supplement their time in anxiety therapy by having their notes or worksheets in a place that is easily accessible during their everyday routine. This can also help clients practice these skills when faced with high anxiety situations.
To prepare for your first anxiety therapy session, you can ask questions about the process and what goals you have for therapy. You can write the questions down before the appointment date. We can figure out what is going on with you together, so do not feel that you have to understand everything beforehand.
Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in San Antonio, TX can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks San Antonio therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
